product overview

:

the vanquish

truly shows the laser precision and innovation which goes into the zone3

product

range

.

t

he vanquish has built the reputation as the fastest and most comfortable wetsuit on the

market and has been used and loved by

thousands of

amateur triathletes

and swimmers as

well as some of the best athletes in the world.

ironman distance athletes

, such as tim don,

love the suit for its high levels of comfort and flexibility around the shoulders and

sprint/olympic distance athletes

such as jake birtwhistle

for

its speed and mega

buoyancy.

the

largest triathlon magazine in the usa, triathlete

tm

, reviewing the new vanquish and

awarding it the ‘best in class’ award, followed by the ‘best on test’ award from uk

based 220 triathlon in 2017

. triathlon plus magazine stated

the suit was ‘as close to

perfection as you can get

with a wetsuit and there really is nothing to fault

’. with two of the

top awards in the world it’s easy to see why so many athletes

have made the

switch to the

vanquish

to

help get their performance to the next level.

in addition, the response from the top coaches who have tested the wetsuit has been

overwhelming; with many agreeing that the vanquish takes performance and comfort to new

levels and is incredibly fast

.

so

much thought, design and testing has gone into our flagship product that

it’s hard to know

where to start when listing the features

.

you will find a wealth of information

below.

pursuing perfect and key d

esign points

:

the suit is designed to make sure

the shoulder, arms, upper back and lat

issimus dorsi

have

as much

flexib

ility

as possible. this is combined with some of the world’s most buoyant

materials around the quads, hips and glutes. this is how it’s been achieved:

1.

our highly praised ultra thin one

–

piece shoulder panel has now been extended

from the middle of the chest to the centre of the back. you can see a flat

–

plan

drawing of this panel to show you how much unrestricted flexibility the suit offers

around the arms and shoulders.

this panel is onl

y 1.5mm thick and made with

yamamoto’s premium #40 scs which is one of the lightest and highest stretch

materials available

the extension of this area combined with the lack of seams make the suit

extremely comfortable, allows for improved chest expansion

and enables a

higher elbow position in the water. as soon as you put this suit on you can really

feel the difference.

ref# 1.

this is now combined with an innovative n

ew ultra

–

thin 0.3mm

yamamoto

brs

scs material

on the arm sleeves. this is the world’s t

hinnest scs neoprene and

reduces the weight and buoyancy of the arms. this allows a quicker stroke

recovery after the catch phase and

reduce

s

arm fatigue

during the swim, perfect

for swims of 1.5km or more.

.

the focus on ensuring maximum flexibilit

y means you can increase your distance

per stroke, conserve energy and minimise the risk of shoulder injuries.

2.

we have extended the area of this same high stretch fabric across the shoulder

blades and from under the forearm down to the hip. this is the 2

mm #39

gunmetal scs used under the arms you can see in our product photos. this

material is very soft and is also highly flexible but at the same times helps to

maintain the structure of the suit over an extended period of time. the panel

design really he

lps to maximise the propulsion you can achieve with each stroke

and ensures a fluid roll with each arm pull.

3.

new chest panel design continues the focused hip and core buoyancy up through

the torso to the centre of the chest with 5mm yamamoto

aerodome. this acts like

a roll

–

bar to help promote the essential torso rotation between each stroke, aids

in course sighting during the swim navigation and keeps up core body warmth.

ref #

4.

the hip and core areas are made up from a combination of three

different

materials, each with a thickness of 5mm which is the maximum allowed under

itu rules. these panels are:

1.

nbr construction side panels designed to work in unison with the front leg

panels. nbr is a super buoyant material which is commonly used in

life

jackets. this material is sandwiched between two layers of neoprene to

ensure maximum lift in the water.

2.

aerodome materials used on the front legs from the hips to the knees to help

support the core leg muscles. this material is designed with

air bubbles built

between the fabric layers to make it lighter and more buoyant, producing up

to 30% more buoyancy than conventional neoprene.

full use of yamamoto fabrics des

igned to ensure superb all

–

over body flexibility,

comfort and performance.

zone3 work on new developments with yamamoto as

a chosen supplier because the neoprene offers fantastic performance features

including:



speed: the a

qua dynamic ‘scs’ nano

coating a

pplied to the neoprene

creates

almost

zero

drag through the water

. a

drag coefficient of just 0.021 compared with

4.0 for

regular

neoprene wetsuits

.

the scs coating

also

prevents the suit from

absorbing water, therefore avoiding excess weight in the

wetsuit.



flexibility:

a massive 480

–

580% in elongation, compared with human skin (under

arm) which is just 60

–

70%

.

superior flexibility and comfort with an expansion of 7

x

conventional wetsuit materials

.



buoyancy:

derived from limestone rather than oil which offers a

23% higher closed

–

cell structur

e. this significantly increasing the

buoyan

cy levels for the swimmer.



warmth:

high heat retention: keeping the body warmer in colder waters to help

reduce body fatigue a

nd improve performance.



eco:

the neoprene is also derived from limestone opposed to petroleum which is

more environmentally friendly.

thin laser

bonded

neck panel: comfort is further maximised with our

innovative new 1.5mm moulded collar which is so soft and light you’ll be

questioning whether you even have your wetsuit on! it allows a tighter fit on the

body without feeling any discomfort around the nec

k. as soon as you try this

unique design you may never want to wear any other wetsuit again.

2.

sensory catch panel: aeroforce fabric is used on the forearms to give an

improved feeling and catch in the water. rather than a traditional rubber fabric,

the van

quish uses a double layer of high performance, water repellent lycra

–

based fabric. this firstly reduces arm fatigue, as there is not as much buoyancy

resistance during the catch phases of the stroke, but also allows the swimmer to

improve their efficiency

in the water. no water can enter the suit but you will feel

the coolness of the water on the forearm panel which helps to align your hand

and forearm during the stroke to give more propulsion and also a more natural

feeling swim.

the vanquish is something we

are extremely passionate and

excited about. we put

everything we know and love into the design and have leveraged physics to make it the

fastest wetsuit possible. it makes use of some of the world’s highest

performance materials

and combines these with a thoroughly researched panel design to ensure maximum

flexibility and balanced buoyancy.

if you have the opportunity to try this suit then we hope you like it as much as we do and

hope that it can help you

reach your goal, whether that be getting ahead of the competition

or simply enjoying your swimming more than ever
