Being 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe above features are relatively similar to the Aspire but once we move above the waist all changes.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn the arms Zone3 wish to provide the enthusiast with maximum flexibility and ultra light weight.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAs well as a one piece shoulder panel, reducing seams and restriction, the Vanquish sees the use of 0.3mm BRS fabric in the arms.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYou will barely tell you have this suit on!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFinally, the wrist panel is lycra in the interest of a light weight feel and efficient heat loss in warmer conditions.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOur staff have massive experience in the entire Zone3 range and have swum extensively in this top end model.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt is aimed for those looking for absolute performance and we receive nothing but excellent feedback.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhy not get in touch with our expert staff for advice today?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit is the Key!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct fit is massively important to wetsuit comfort and performance.
