    I'm using Zone3 shorts at the moment. Not sure if there is a whole lot of difference between brands really. They just do a job :)

    You kept that quiet!!! :D :pac:

    You hardly want me tweeting pics of me in buoyancy shorts do you? :)

    Only trying them out, makes a change from the PB from time to time. Most of my swimming done dragging a concrete block or kayak ;)

    I might try the shorts. Any brands you'd recommend? The more buoyant the better! I know I have to practice my balance and getting my chest deep but it's as if my legs are filled with lead.

    zone 3 solid made i never looked but pretty sure its 39 yamamotto 3 mm
    the blue seventy thicker. also never really looked but by the looks likley 5 mm yamamotto 40 neoprene.
    rokka seems to be close too blue seventy one in terms of thickness.

    for me the zone 3 better as i use for running and bike too occasionally.

    blue sevnty slightly more boyancy.
    any of them i would buy a size smaller than normal size as when you push of the wall you want to get in, as less water as possible.

    ps another good use is to prolong time in open water at the beginning of the season. It makes a good difference if I give open water classes.
