Vanguard Women's Eco Triathlon Wetsuit


Description

The Vanguard Women's Eco Triathlon Wetsuit by Sumarpo is the ultimate all-rounder for female triathletes who refuse to compromise between flexibility, buoyancy, and speed. Built with premium Yamamoto #40 neoprene and an SQ-Flex Stretch Inner Lining on the shoulders, sleeves, and armpits, it delivers an extraordinary 630% elongation - letting you swim with complete freedom of movement, stroke after stroke. The patented Aero Boost 5.0 technology provides 34% more buoyancy than Aerodome, while the Leg Elevation design strategically adds lift at the thigh to optimize body position and reduce drag.

What sets the Vanguard apart is its commitment to both performance and the planet. Crafted from 100% limestone-derived Yamamoto neoprene - an eco-conscious alternative to petroleum-based materials - and featuring recycled lining fabrics and benzene-free adhesives, this wetsuit is as responsible as it is fast. Whether you're racing your first triathlon or chasing a personal best, the Vanguard delivers the balanced performance and sustainable construction that serious athletes can feel good about.


Key Features

  • Yamamoto #40 Neoprene (1.5mm) with SQ-Flex Lining: Placed on shoulders, arms, and armpits for 630% elongation - outstanding freedom of movement during every swim stroke.
  • Patented Aero Boost 5.0 Buoyancy Technology: Delivers 34% more buoyancy than Aerodome systems, making the wetsuit 9% more buoyant than competitors - you'll feel the lift immediately.
  • Yamamoto SCS Coating: Covers the entire wetsuit with a smooth, water-shedding finish that reduces resistance and improves hydrodynamics so you swim faster with the same effort.
  • Leg Elevation Design: Extra buoyancy strategically placed at the thigh reduces leg drop and drag, keeping your body in a faster, more streamlined position.
  • Arms-Up Design: Positions your arms in a natural neutral position to noticeably reduce stroke effort over the course of a long swim.
  • 3D GSP (Groove-Shaped Paddle) System: Forearm panels provide extra propulsion with every stroke, giving you more power with less effort.
  • V-Shape Ankle Panel (Yamamoto #39 Neoprene, 1.5mm): Engineered for fast, effortless T1 transitions - saves critical seconds during races and training.
  • Stable Trinity Support System: Helps maintain a balanced centerline and promotes efficient side-to-side movement throughout your swim.
  • Ti-a-Seal Neck and Cuff Technology: Reduces abrasion, retains body heat, and ensures comfort in colder water down to 46°F / 8°C minimum temperature.
  • Top-Tier YKK Internal Zipper: Smooth, anti-corrosion, and hidden to eliminate zipper-caused drag.
  • Slip Skin Inner Lining: Ultra-smooth patented treatment makes putting on and taking off the wetsuit effortless - made with recycled plastic water bottles.
  • Eco Construction: 100% limestone-based Yamamoto neoprene, benzene-free adhesives, Oeko-Tex certified recycled lining fabrics - your purchase helps recycle 40 plastic bottles.
  • Two-Year Warranty: Backed by Sumarpo's two-year material warranty for full peace of mind.

Size Options & Which to Choose

  • XS (4'9"-5'3" / 93-104 lbs / 29-32" chest): Ideal for smaller-framed women looking for a snug, performance-focused fit with full hydrodynamic benefit.
  • S (5'1"-5'5" / 106-121 lbs / 32-35" chest): A great choice for petite to average-height women in a standard build - the most popular entry size.
  • ST (5'5"-5'10" / 106-126 lbs / 33-35" chest): Designed for taller women with a leaner frame - the "T" denotes a taller cut through the torso and legs.
  • SM (5'1"-5'8" / 117-137 lbs / 34-36" chest): Built for women between S and M in weight but with a shorter stature - a fitted option for the athletic mid-range build.
  • M (5'4"-5'10" / 128-143 lbs / 35-37" chest): The standard medium - suits average height and build, offering balanced flex and buoyancy across all zones.
  • MT (5'6"-6'0" / 132-148 lbs / 35-37" chest): A taller medium for women with longer torsos and limbs who need extra length without extra width.
  • ML (5'5"-5'11" / 146-161 lbs / 36-38" chest): Falls between M and L - ideal if standard M is too snug but a full L feels too roomy.
  • L (5'6"-6'0" / 146-168 lbs / 37-39" chest): A full large for women with broader frames or more muscular builds who need room to move without restriction.
  • LT (5'6"-6'1" / 150-172 lbs / 37-40" chest): Tall large for women who need both length and volume - great for taller, athletic athletes.
  • XL (5'7"-6'2" / 161-183 lbs / 39-41" chest): The largest option in the range - suited to taller, broader frames seeking all the Vanguard's performance in a roomier fit.

FAQ

How should a triathlon wetsuit fit?

A triathlon wetsuit should feel snug and close to the body when dry - this is normal and expected. The neoprene will soften and ease slightly once you're in the water. Pay particular attention to fit around the shoulders and armpits, as excess material there can restrict your stroke. Sumarpo recommends basing your size selection primarily on weight, and sizing up if you fall between two sizes.

What water temperature is the Vanguard suitable for?

The Vanguard is rated for water temperatures down to 46°F / 8°C minimum. The Ti-a-Seal technology at the neck and cuffs helps retain body heat and reduce abrasion in colder conditions, making it a strong choice for open-water swims and early-season racing.

What makes this wetsuit "eco-friendly"?

The Vanguard is built with Yamamoto neoprene derived from limestone rather than petroleum - a significantly more sustainable raw material that is also allergen-free. The inner lining is made from recycled fabrics certified under the Oeko-Tex standard, and benzene-free adhesives are used throughout construction. Each purchase also helps recycle the equivalent of 40 plastic water bottles.

What is the difference between the "T" sizes (ST, MT, LT) and standard sizes?

The "T" sizes - ST, MT, and LT - feature a taller cut through the torso and legs. They are designed for women who are taller than average for their weight, ensuring the wetsuit doesn't ride up or pull uncomfortably during a race. If you find yourself at the taller end of a size range, a "T" size is worth considering.

How do I care for my Vanguard wetsuit to extend its life?

Always rinse your wetsuit in clean, cold, fresh water after use. Avoid using fingernails when putting it on or taking it off - use your palms and finger pads to prevent tears. Air-dry your wetsuit in the shade, away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the neoprene over time. Avoid machine washing, hot water, or leaving it crumpled in a bag for extended periods.

Is the Vanguard legal for IRONMAN and triathlon racing?

Triathlon wetsuit legality is determined by water temperature, not by the wetsuit itself - governing bodies like World Triathlon and IRONMAN permit wetsuit use when water temperature is at or below a specified threshold (typically 76.1°F / 24.5°C for IRONMAN events). The Vanguard meets the construction requirements for competitive triathlon use. Always check the specific rules of your race before race day.
