Vanguard Men's Eco Triathlon Wetsuit

Description

The Vanguard Men's Eco Triathlon Wetsuit is Sumarpo's flagship all-rounder - engineered to deliver an exceptional balance of flexibility, buoyancy, and speed for triathletes of every level. Built with premium Yamamoto #40 neoprene on the shoulders, arms, and armpits paired with SQ-Flex Stretch Inner Lining, it achieves an remarkable 630% elongation to keep your stroke powerful and unrestricted from the first wave to the final meters.

What sets the Vanguard apart is its patented Aero Boost 5.0 technology, which delivers 34% more buoyancy than Aerodome-equipped suits, combined with full-body Yamamoto SCS coating for elite hydrodynamics. Every detail - from the Arms-Up Design to the V-shape Ankle Panel - is purpose-built to reduce drag, save energy, and help you transition faster. And with eco-conscious limestone neoprene, benzene-free adhesives, and recycled lining fabrics, it's a wetsuit that performs as well for the planet as it does for your race day.

Key Features

• Aero Boost 5.0 Buoyancy Technology: Delivers 34% more buoyancy than Aerodome, making the Vanguard 9% more buoyant than wetsuits using Aerodome panels - you'll feel the lift immediately in the water.
• Yamamoto #40 Neoprene + SQ-Flex Lining: Located on shoulders, arms, and armpits for 630% elongation - maximum flexibility exactly where your stroke demands it most.
• Full-Body Yamamoto SCS Coating: Smooth, water-resistant surface coating covering the entire suit reduces drag and improves hydrodynamic performance for faster swimming with the same effort.
• Arms-Up Design: Positions your arms in the optimal neutral position for swimming, noticeably reducing stroke effort during long open-water swims and triathlon races.
• 3D GSP (Groove-Shaped Paddle) System: Textured forearm panels generate extra propulsion with every stroke, helping you get more out of each pull.
• Leg Elevation + Stable Trinity Support: Strategic buoyancy placement in the thighs reduces drag by optimizing body position, while the Trinity Support system maintains a balanced centerline for efficient side-to-side movement.
• V-Shape Ankle Panel (1.5mm Yamamoto #39 Neoprene): Designed for fast, effortless T1 transitions - slip out of the suit quickly without sacrificing thermal protection at the ankles.
• Ti-a-Seal Neck & Cuff Technology: Reduces skin abrasion, retains body heat, and ensures comfort in colder water - rated for use down to 46°F / 8°C.
• Top-Tier YKK Internal Zipper: Anti-corrosion, ultra-smooth, and hidden to eliminate additional drag created by exposed zipper hardware.
• Eco-Friendly Construction: Crafted from 100% limestone-derived Yamamoto neoprene (allergen-free, petroleum-free), benzene-free adhesives, and Oeko-Tex certified recycled lining fabrics - including Slip Skin panels made from recycled plastic water bottles. Each purchase helps recycle 40 plastic bottles.
• Two-Year Warranty: Backed by Sumarpo's 2-year material warranty for complete peace of mind.

Sizes & Which to Choose

• XS (5'2"-5'7" / 104-123 lbs): Best for lighter, shorter frames. Prioritize your weight over height when selecting.
• S (5'4"-5'8" / 121-143 lbs): Standard short-torso fit for lean, average-height athletes.
• ST (5'8"-6'0" / 121-152 lbs): Tall cut for taller, leaner athletes who need extra length in the torso and legs.
• SM (5'7"-5'10" / 139-161 lbs): Short/medium - ideal for stockier builds at medium height.
• M (5'8"-6'0" / 150-163 lbs): The most common size for average height and build - a great starting point if you're between S and M.
• MT (5'9"-6'3" / 150-172 lbs): Medium-tall for longer-limbed athletes with a medium build who find standard M too short.
• ML (5'8"-6'2" / 154-181 lbs): Medium-large for broader, taller athletes needing extra room through the shoulders and chest.
• L (5'10"-6'3" / 179-203 lbs): Standard large for bigger, athletic builds - popular with broader-shouldered swimmers.
• LT (5'11"-6'5" / 179-207 lbs): Large-tall for tall, athletic frames who need added length without moving up to XL volume.
• XL (6'0"-6'5" / 203-220 lbs): For larger, taller athletes who need more room throughout.
• XXL (6'2"-6'7" / 214-254 lbs): The largest option - built for big, tall athletes who need maximum volume and length.

When in doubt between two sizes, choose the larger one. Base your primary decision on weight, not height.
