The ‘race day’ wetsuit for combining swim and run performance

The Head Race swimrun wetsuit has a base of extremely flexible 2mm neoprene while 1.5mm thickness around the arms and shoulders gives extra movement. 4mm air cell panels on the chest and 6mm panels on the upper thighs give an optimal swim position. The two zippers open easily while running and there are two accessible inner pockets. Nylon loop to easily fasten a tow line and accessories. Includes safety whistle. Heat taped seams for adjustment of arms and legs.
