Synergy Triathlon Wetsuit 3/2mm Volution Full Sleeve Smoothskin - Race

In this review the Synergy Triathlon Wetsuit 3/2mm Volution is evaluated for open water swimmers and triathletes seeking a balance of buoyancy and flexibility. The bottom line: it is best for athletes who want a smoothskin neoprene suit that helps them float higher and move faster while preserving a full range of motion. The wetsuit's silicone coated SyPrene panels and a 3mm core buoyancy section deliver real performance gains in the water, and its soft low neck and YKK internal zipper reduce drag and neck irritation compared with harsher suits.

Key Features

• Hydrodynamic neoprene: Silicone coated SyPrene provides a slick surface that helps reduce water resistance for improved speed.
• 3/2mm construction: A 3mm thick core buoyancy panel with 2mm lower legs and back balances lift and flexibility for efficient stroke mechanics.
• Full range of motion: Smoothskin panels and flexible neoprene let shoulders and arms move without feeling restricted during long sighting and stroke cycles.
• Low-drag zipper: Highest grade anti-corrode internal YKK zipper sits flat to minimize drag through the water and improve durability.
• Comfortable neck: Super soft low neck with smoothskin on both sides reduces chafing so it feels nearly unnoticeable while swimming.

Who It's For

The Synergy Volution 3/2mm is aimed at triathletes and open water swimmers of all levels who want a wetsuit that provides buoyancy without sacrificing shoulder mobility. Recreational swimmers training for longer swims and competitive age-groupers who value a warmer, stretchy suit will appreciate the design.

Swimmers who require a very roomy shoulder fit or who consistently wear thicker wetsuits for cold water should consider trying it on first, because some customers report a snug fit in the shoulders and that the size chart runs slightly small.

Our Verdict

Frequently Asked Questions

The 3/2mm construction provides moderate warmth suitable for temperate waters and most triathlon seasons; for very cold conditions thicker suits are recommended.

Designed for a full range of motion, it is very flexible, though some users report a snug shoulder fit so sizing up or trying on is advised if you have broad shoulders.

What is covered by the warranty?
