Thicker Yamamoto rubber at the chest and legs gives swimmers the initial confidence and buoyancy they need.

FLEXIBILITY - No other entry-level wetsuit features thin 1.5mm Yamamoto high quality neoprene in the arm and arm gussets. Review ''KILLER VALUE'' - Triathlete Magazine The draw: Speed for less The Sprint swims like a much more expensive suit with a comfortable, no-leak neckline, flexible shoulders and excellent rotation. Panels of super-thin neoprene run along the backs of the arms and lats (latissimus dorsi) to give it a fancy, flexy feel. You’ll use a few of the extra seconds you banked in the water to get it off around your wrists and ankles, but it’s worth it for the comfort and speed typically difficult to find at this price.

More About The New Boardman ADV 8.6 Adventure Bike Lightweight frame and fork The 2021 ADV 8.6 is built on an Adventure specific, alloy frame for easy handling.

The bottom bracket, where the pedal arms meet, is lower which drops the centre of mass, helping the bike to feel extremely stable in all conditions.
