Zone3 Valour Wetsuit

For around £169 when ‘in-season’, the Zone3 Valour would be classed as an entry-level wetsuit. With the pools shut most of us prefer to wear a wetsuit to make open water swimming both easier and more comfortable. If you are considering race needs then Zone3 have that covered as well.

I like Zone3 wetsuits and am on my third – Zone3 Vanquish (review) – which is a great pro suit (I’m not a pro!) but which will be an expensive overkill for many people, especially those of you just starting out with OWS/triathlon or who are on a tighter budget. So, if that describes you then the Zone3 Valour is definitely worth considering.
