LOW TO MID VERDICT

The £100 category here is convincingly won by the Dhb Wetsuit, which uses the might of Wiggle to produce a wellmade, durable and comfortable suit that we’d heartily recommend as a first tri wetsuit for any beginner triathletes out there on a budget. It’s just a shame they haven’t bothered to give it a proper name. The Lomo, although not without merit, pales in comparison. The Aropec is solid enough and has some neat touches, but for £50 more you can buy the Roka Maverick Comp II. A suit boasting SCS coating and 1.5mm arm flexibilty is staggering at this price. The Huub and Aqua Sphere, one fast and innovative, the other reliable and durable, have much to recommend them, and the Blueseventy pushes the Roka all the way as the best suit here. But it’s the £100 saving of the Roka that makes it our Best on Test and something we’ll be using come the race season due to that 1.5mm arm flexibility and 3/5mm buoyancy mix.
