    Hey,

    Looking for some advice on my first wetsuit for triathlon. Have more or less narrowed it down to Zone3 Vision or Advance but am open to other suggestions. Have a budget of 250.

    Has anyone any experience of these suits and is the Vision worth the extra over the Advance. I would prefer to spend a bit extra now rather than having to upgrade later if needs be.

    Cheers.

    The Advance is already a very good suit for the price of it. Advice I generally give people is for €195 in the Advance you are getting a good quality starter suit. Swim with it for 2 or 3 seasons. If you need to upgrade (and your swim abilty warrants it) then you jump to a mid level suit like the Aspire which has a higher degree of flexibility and better grade neoprene. You then have your Advance for training and a much better suit for racing which you won't risk getting damaged.

    Most people do not see or feel the difference in performance between the Advance and Vision but there is a clear difference going to the Aspire / Vanquish.

    Perfect, just the advice I was looking for.
    Thanks for that.
