BLUESEVENTY THERMAL REACTION '22
£519 This is the third annual outing for Blueseventy's thermal Zirconium technology on these pages. And when the temperatures drop, we believe it's still the best there is for keeping toasty warm. The orange, fuzzy, wool-like lining extends down arms and legs, keeping your limbs as well as the core warmer, which we know is important. Updated for 2022, the seamless shoulders paired with 1.5mm under the arms have improved flexibility and we didn't experience any fatigue on longer swims. The centre and sides of the suit have also been redesigned to improve body rotation. We didn't see any water trickles as we swam thanks to the high, well-fitting neckline, and although it takes a little longer to pull on and off than others on test it's worth it for the warmth! There are nine size options available. blueseventy.co.uk
95% VERDICT The gold standard for thermal swim wetsuits. Warm, flexible, and a joy to swim in
