ZONE3 ASPIRE LE

£320 Sneaking into our £300+ price point due to its funky limited edition colourscheme (the normal Aspire is £299), this is Zone3’s mid-range suit, yet despite being the least expensive on test, it easily holds its own. Upgrades since the last version centre around a one-piece shoulder design to improve flexibility and we didn’t feel any restriction in our stroke, although it didn’t achieve the top-end freedom offered if you pay for the waferthin arms of the Orca or the Zoot. Where this suit did excel was in body positioning, as with 5mm neoprene from ribs to knees, it holds you firmly up in the water. A top-down zip keeps it simple. racezone3.com
