## Description

ZONE3 Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts 'Originals' 5/3mm - Unisex Wetsuit Shorts For Swim Training, Water Sports, Outdoor Swimming : desertcart.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

Review: Quality product - I’m an above knee amputee who enjoys swimming as a form of exercise. I have struggled with swimming free style without the aid of a pool buoy along with my remaking leg sinking lower in the water when I swim. Since I started wearing ZONE3 Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts I have been able to increase my distance and concentrate on my breathing. Fantastic product. Stylish I went for the large size after reading reviews I’m a 34 inch waist and the large are a snug but very comfortable fit
Review: Great product! - Fantastic!

## Features

- NEOPRENE SHORT: Our 'Original' buoyancy wetsuit shorts are made from top Yamamoto Smoothskin neoprene. The shorts are designed using 3mm neoprene down the centre for buoyancy and 5mm neoprene down the sides to promote hip rotation through each stroke.
- IMPROVES CORE STABILITY: These buoyancy shorts help place you in the correct horizontal position, helping to build a "neural pattern' of how you should feel in the water. These swim shorts help keep you afloat so you can focus on your arms and legs. Studies show that with continuous training in our buoyancy shorts, your body position, speed and endurance can be significantly increased.
- SUITABLE FOR OPEN WATER AND POOL SWIMS: These shorts help develop your open water swimming technique while in the pool, where wearing a full wetsuit would either be too hot, or banned by the life-guards. The buoyancy shorts can be used in open-water training or races as an alternative to swimming in a full wetsuit (when the water is warm enough!).
- FIT AND SIZING: Buoyancy shorts should be tight, but not restrictive on your thighs when out of the water. When you are in the water, you should be able to move naturally and they should not be restricting in any way. We do recommend that if you are in between sizes or are on the upper end of a size, to size up.
- International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these be worn in a swimming-pool or are they solely for use in the sea?**
A: This is a good question. I would say use them in the pool to assist with buoyancy and allow an easier kick than using a pull buoy. I use them in the pool to give a similar buoyancy to being in the sea without a wetsuit and  wearing regular trunks.

**Q: I can only see the option to purchase in small. Do you have a medium in stock?**
A: Xl

**Q: are these really unisex. I am a female para tri and newbie looking for more buoyancy..approx 30 waist**
A: Hi Sarah. There is so much flexibility in the neoprene it should should fit most shapes and sizes of people, hence the reason they call them unisex. Hope that helps! Colin. Athlos Triathlon

**Q: Are these shorts for men or boys? A bit confusing as states men's but alsojunior M!**
A: Men's medium, bought for my husband who is 6 foot 3, 32inch waist and they fit perfect.
