Product Review: Xterra Vector Pro Fullsuit wetsuit

The Xterra Vector Pro Fullsuit

is designed for optimum speed and flexibility:

FLEXIBLE
• 5mm front and 3mm back of neoprene
• Fully coated with the slickest Super Composite Skin coating
• Maintains a 0.03 drag coefficient

BUOYANT
• Maximum legal thickness for increased buoyancy

CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN
• Anatomically correct arms— each arm and shoulder is made up of 6 individually cut panels of 1.5 mm thick neoprene
• Panels follow the natural curve of the swim stroke, allowing faster and smoother swimming with less effort
• Seam-seal technology uses a triple layer of glue and double-blind stitching to ensure waterproof and long-lasting seams

*Vector Pro Fullsuits are entirely legal under the new USAT rules and are WTC legal.

I recently became a sponsored Age Group Athlete for Xterra Wetsuits and purchased the Vector Pro Fullsuit.  So far I've only tried it on, it's pretty tight but I know once I hit the water it'll fit quite differently and feel different than the Full John wetsuit I've been using up till now which is sleeveless. I enjoy the freedom the full john provides my shoulders so I'll be waiting to see how the Vector Pro feels in the water. The material is thinner / lighter so I think I will enjoy a speedier swim. Unfortunately becuase the material used on the arms is pretty thin I already created two small tears in the left arm with my wedding ring. NOTE TO SELF, REMOVE WEDDING RING WHEN PUTTING ON! My wife will love that...

I'll post again once I"ve given it a trial run (my next race is August 25th at the Maple Grove Olympic distance Triathlon. Should be fun and I'll be shooting a GoPro video of the event so stay tuned to http://www.youtube.com/user/activedesigns
