What was the wetsuit material, they all look shiney like neoprene in the videos, is that allowed?
Most if not all (not positive ) wetsuits are made of neoprene. different manufacturers use different durometers of neoprene, along with cloth backing materials and pattern layouts.
So yes neoprene is allowed. I believe the regulations state a maximum thickness for the neoprene which will limit the amount of floatation it gives you. If you buy a used triathlon wetsuit you need to look into this, if your buying a new one it should be fine. |
