the fuss?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Aspire has always been a brilliant option for the enthusiast swimmer or triathlete.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe fact it was the first suit from any brand to receive full marks in 220 magazine speaks volumes.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis is something Zone3 are very proud of, reflected in the heavy 10\/10 branding on all Aspire variants.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHowever, the new Aspire is very different from those early versions and in our view this has taken both comfort and performance to another level.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHowever, you can'\u003c\/span\u003et have a 11\/10 can you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTell me about the changes we hear you say?\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWell, like the Vision model, the Aspire uses the maximum ITU allowed thickness of 5mm.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYou are not allowed to use neoprene thicker than this and thus when brands wish to have more float in a panel they have to get creative.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn this case Zone3 get around the thickness restriction by using aerodrome material on the leg side panel.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFor the uninitiated, this is simply a 5mm neoprene but with small air bubbles for 30% improved float over solid fabric.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpeaking of the neoprene, Zone3 use a Japanese Yamamoto 39 cell, which is extremely buoyant and flexible.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBeing produced from limestone as opposed to oil it checks the eco friendly box too.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLooking again at flexibility it is worth mention that this fabric stretches 480-580%, compared with just 60-70% for human skin.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHowever, there's no point having super flexible buoyant rubber if you can't change quickly in transition.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTo aid overall changing speed Zone3 use their prospeed cuffs on ankle and wrists, allowing the suit to slip effortlessly over feet and hands.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLastly, the entire Aspire suit is finished in an ultra low drag SCS coating.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis ensures absolute efficiency and you can have confidence each stroke will propel you with maximum effect.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAs with the other Zone3 models our staff have extensive experience with the Aspire model and can recommend it wholeheartedly.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhile aimed at intermediate triathletes upwards there is essentially nothing but positive traits when purchased by those new to the sport.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThink of it as a future proof option for a little more initial outlay.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe only exception to this would be fit you plan to swim breaststroke, as the enhanced buoyancy has a negative effect on body position for this stroke.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn this scenario, why not look at the 2XU \u003ca
