Blueseventy

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Blueseventy wetsuit is best for beginner triathletes?

  The Sprint Wetsuit is Blueseventy's entry-level option, built for open-water swimming and triathlons with a comfortable fit that sits high in the water. It features a 3-4-4 buoyancy profile for lower-body lift, oversized arm gussets for easy stroke, easy-out ankles for quicker transitions, and SCS coating to reduce drag.
• How does the Reaction Wetsuit compare to the Sprint Wetsuit?

  The Reaction is a premium training-to-racing suit that emphasizes stroke efficiency and freedom through a single-piece shoulder design and reactive stretch technology, often using Yamamoto neoprene for ultra-flexibility. The Sprint focuses on comfort and ease of use with Sheiko neoprenes, glued and blindstitched seams, and a higher waterline and buoyancy profile suited to developing swimmers.
• How should I size Blueseventy competition swimwear and swim skins?

  Competition swimwear and swim skins are designed to fit extremely tight—like a second skin—to provide compression and reduce drag, so choose the size that gives firm compression without restricting your stroke. Women should look for Femme Fit sizing when available to better match female body proportions and preserve range of motion.
• What technologies improve buoyancy and flexibility in Blueseventy wetsuits?

  Blueseventy combines targeted buoyancy profiles (for example the 3-4-4 lower-body lift), premium neoprenes (Yamamoto and Sheiko), SCS coating, and reactive stretch construction to balance lift and flexibility. Design features such as single-piece shoulders, oversized arm gussets, glued and blindstitched seams, and ultra-thin neoprene panels in the arms further enhance stroke freedom and water feel.
• Are Blueseventy wetsuits and swim skins suitable for racing events?

  Yes, Reaction wetsuits are tuned for training-to-racing with race-oriented flexibility and optimized buoyancy, while competition swimwear and swim skins use ultrasonic welding, compression fabrics, and locking zippers to minimize drag and speed transitions in races. Sprint wetsuits are more focused on entry-level open-water performance and training, making them a better choice for learning and shorter or beginner races.
