Vanguard Women's Eco Triathlon Wetsuit


Description

The Sumarpo Vanguard Women's Eco Triathlon Wetsuit is the ultimate all-rounder for triathletes who demand a perfect balance of flexibility, buoyancy, and speed. Built with premium Yamamoto #40 neoprene and SQ-Flex Stretch Inner Lining on the shoulders, arms, and armpits, it delivers an extraordinary 630% elongation - giving you a full, unrestricted range of motion through every stroke. The patented Aero Boost 5.0 technology provides 34% more buoyancy than Aerodome, so you ride higher in the water and expend less energy from swim start to T1.

Beyond raw performance, the Vanguard is engineered with sustainability at its core. Crafted from 100% limestone-derived Yamamoto neoprene - a cleaner, allergen-free alternative to petroleum-based materials - and featuring recycled lining fabrics made from plastic water bottles, every purchase helps recycle 40 plastic bottles. This is a wetsuit built for serious competitors who want to perform at their best and leave a lighter footprint on the planet.


Key Features

  • Yamamoto #40 Neoprene (1.5mm) + SQ-Flex Lining: Applied to shoulders, sleeves, and armpits for 630% elongation - maximum flexibility where you need it most during the swim.
  • Patented Aero Boost 5.0 Buoyancy: Delivers 34% more buoyancy than Aerodome technology, making the suit 9% more buoyant than wetsuits using Aerodome for a noticeably lifted body position.
  • Full-Suit Yamamoto SCS Coating: Ultra-smooth silicon carbide coating covers the entire wetsuit, reducing water resistance and improving hydrodynamic speed with no extra effort.
  • Arms-Up Design: Engineered neutral arm position reduces stroke effort during long swims, helping conserve energy across a triathlon swim leg.
  • Leg Elevation Design: Strategically adds buoyancy in the thighs to optimize body position and reduce drag - ideal for swimmers who struggle with sinking legs.
  • 3D GSP (Groove-Shaped Paddle) Forearm System: Textured forearm panels generate extra propulsion with every stroke cycle.
  • V-Shape Ankle Panel (Yamamoto #39 Neoprene, 1.5mm): Ensures a fast and effortless T1 transition during both races and training.
  • Ti-α-Seal Neck & Cuff Technology: Reduces abrasion, retains body heat, and ensures comfort in colder water - rated to a minimum temperature of 46°F / 8°C.
  • Top-Tier YKK Internal Zipper: Smooth, anti-corrosion, and hidden to eliminate any additional drag during racing.
  • Slip Skin Lining: Patented ultra-smooth interior fabric makes the suit easy to pull on and off quickly - also crafted from recycled plastic water bottles.
  • Two-Year Warranty: Backed by a 2-year material warranty for complete peace of mind.
  • Eco Construction: 100% limestone Yamamoto neoprene, benzene-free adhesives, and Oeko-Tex certified recycled lining fabrics.

Size Options & Which to Choose

  • XS (4'9"-5'3" | 93-104 lbs | 29-32" chest): The smallest fit in the range, ideal for petite athletes with a lighter frame and smaller chest measurement.
  • S (5'1"-5'5" | 106-121 lbs | 32-35" chest): A versatile small fit for shorter to mid-height women with an average build.
  • ST (5'5"-5'10" | 106-126 lbs | 33-35" chest): A tall small - best for taller athletes who are lean or lightly built and need extra length through the torso and legs.
  • SM (5'1"-5'8" | 117-137 lbs | 34-36" chest): A small-medium designed for women in the middle of the size range who want a snug, performance fit.
  • M (5'4"-5'10" | 128-143 lbs | 35-37" chest): The standard medium, suited to the most common mid-range height and weight combinations.
  • MT (5'6"-6'0" | 132-148 lbs | 35-37" chest): A tall medium offering extra length for taller athletes without increasing the chest or hip volume.
  • ML (5'5"-5'11" | 146-161 lbs | 36-38" chest): A medium-large for athletes who are solidly built at a moderate height.
  • L (5'6"-6'0" | 146-168 lbs | 37-39" chest): The standard large, best for taller or fuller-framed women in the upper-middle weight range.
  • LT (5'6"-6'1" | 150-172 lbs | 37-40" chest): A tall large providing additional length for tall women who need room through the legs and torso.
  • XL (5'7"-6'2" | 161-183 lbs | 39-41" chest): The largest size in the lineup, designed for the tallest and most athletic builds in the women's range.

When in doubt between two sizes, Sumarpo recommends choosing the larger size. Base your selection primarily on weight rather than height. Your wetsuit should feel slightly snug on dry land - it will ease slightly once you're in the water.

FAQ

How should a triathlon wetsuit fit?

A triathlon wetsuit should feel snug - almost uncomfortably tight - on dry land. This is normal and expected. Once you enter the water, the neoprene softens and the suit eases slightly into a performance fit. There should be no major gaps at the lower back, and the suit should sit flush against your neck and wrists. If you are between two sizes, Sumarpo recommends sizing up, and your fit assessment should be based primarily on your weight rather than height.

What water temperature is the Vanguard rated for?

The Vanguard is rated for a minimum water temperature of 46°F / 8°C. The Ti-α-Seal technology at the neck and cuffs helps retain body heat and reduce water ingress, keeping you comfortable and warm in colder open-water conditions typical of triathlon swim legs.

What makes the Vanguard "eco" compared to other wetsuits?

The Vanguard is constructed with Yamamoto neoprene derived entirely from limestone rather than petroleum - a significantly cleaner raw material. It also uses benzene-free adhesives, Oeko-Tex certified recycled lining fabrics, and the Slip Skin interior is made from recycled plastic water bottles. Every purchase helps recycle 40 plastic bottles. Sumarpo also incorporates green energy into its production process and is committed to eco end-of-life treatment for its wetsuits.

How does Aero Boost 5.0 improve my swim performance?

Aero Boost 5.0 is Sumarpo's patented buoyancy panel technology that provides 34% more buoyancy than the industry-standard Aerodome technology - making the Vanguard 9% more buoyant than wetsuits using Aerodome. Combined with the Leg Elevation design, which adds strategic buoyancy in the thighs, your body position is optimized and drag is reduced, allowing you to swim faster with less effort. This is especially noticeable on longer swim legs where fatigue becomes a factor.

How do I care for my Vanguard wetsuit to maximize its lifespan?

To keep your Vanguard in top condition, always rinse it in clean, cold, fresh water after each use. Air-dry it in the shade - never in direct sunlight, which can degrade the neoprene over time. When putting it on and taking it off, use your palms and finger pads rather than fingernails to avoid punctures or tears. Store it flat or loosely folded in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.

What is the return and warranty policy?

The Vanguard comes with a two-year material warranty covering manufacturing defects. Sumarpo also offers a 30-day return window with 48-hour dispatch on returns. If you are unsure about sizing, Sumarpo provides a fitting-size service - simply reach out for personalized guidance before or after purchase.
