2xu In The 2011 Triathlon Season

Triathlon Wetsuits from 2XU are popular with those who compete professionally as well as those who compete at amateur levels. 2XU make equipment for a wide range of sports, not just triathlons, including tennis, martial arts, cricket football and volleyball. Whatever your level or favourite event it is highly probably 2XU will be operating in that niche. Because 2XU work with many athletes across many different sports their development staff are able to share their knowledge across the company allowing you to gain from discoveries made in swimming, cycling or running which can be transferred over to their triathlon wetsuits.

One athlete who benefits from 2XU ground breaking designs and advances is Sebastian Kienle from Germany who is sponsored by 2XU, wearing their tri suits whilst competing around the world and more often than not winning the race. You might agree Kienle made the right decision when it came to chosing a wetsuit as he won the Ironman in 2009 and came second in a gruelling eight hour triathlon: the Challenge Roth in 2010. Kienle is also a keen Physics student which might have influenced his choice in choosing a triathlon wetsuit considering the amount of research that goes into making the perfect suit at 2XU.

2XU don't discriminate and their triathlon wetsuits come in both men's and women's varieties. A great suit for the beginner or casual racer is the entry level 2XU C:2 triathlon wetsuit. With the maximum amount of thickness allowed (5 mm) the C:2 suit has a great level of buoyancy reducing the amount of drag in the water. With a strong and durable zip you won't need to worry about breaking it during a quick change out of the C:2 triathlon wetsuit between stages.

Newly released in 2011 the V:2 Velocity Wetsuit replaces the V:1 suit as the companies top end wetsuit. The 2011 V:2 triathlon wetsuit is available in a number of sizes for both men and ladies. The V:2 wetsuit features the world leading Japanese designed neoprene from Yamamoto. The 39 cell front buoyancy panel makes this one of the most buoyant wetsuits available but not only this, the V:2 suit is also very felxible. Thanks to this suits flexible nature your range of movement will not be restricted at all. If you feel more comfortable in a low key wetsuit that isn't emblazoned with logos and pictures then the 2XU V:2 Velocity triathlon wetsuit should be ideal for you due to its modest colouring and design.

When it comes to the mid-range the 2XU R:1 Race Wetsuit fills the space between pro and amateur ranks as a great mid-range wetsuit, it is also available in a range of sizes for both men and ladies. With the 2XU R:1 wetsuit you will benefit from its increased buoyancy which is delivered thanks to 39 neoprene cells helping you to stay afloat and use less energy as you swim through the water. The 2XU R:1 triathlon wetsuit is a great mid-range suit that does what it says on the tin without drawing too much attention to the wearer.
