Overview
Year on year the Aspire wetsuit builds on its world renowned reputation. It continues to collect accolades from the triathlon industry, having scored an impressive 10 out of 10 rating in both Triathlete Europe and 220 Magazine in its early years and more recently a 95% rating and the prestigious “Best Buy” award, as well as “Editor’s Choice” and “Top Value” awards. The Aspire is constantly given praise for its great fit, remarkable flexibility around the shoulders, carefully balanced buoyancy and rapid removal.
Due to the popularity of the Aspire, the latest version sticks with the winning recipe and has minimal design changes. The main focus has been on increasing the flexibility even further and this has been achieved with the introduction of a new one-piece shoulder panel design and by incorporating higher stretch materials.

The Aspire is packed with features to promote the fastest and most energy efficient swim possible. The key features include:
1. Premium SCS #39 Yamamoto neoprene designed to ensure superb all-over body flexibility, comfort and performance.
2. Aqua dynamic ‘SCS’ Nano coating applied to the neoprene meaning that there is almost no drag through the water.
