Expanding its 2014 wetsuit range, Aqua Sphere has unveiled its new Challenger wetsuit – available in male and female versions. According to the company, the Aqua Sphere Challenger ‘brings together high end neoprene and top end technology’ to the UK multisport market for under £250 (£249.99 SRP).
‘Designed for the Competitor level triathlete’, the Challenger is billed as being fast, comfortable and flexible. With quality high stretch neoprene throughout, features include catch panels on the forearms to increase water pull during each stroke, as well as easing entry and exit of the suit.

Quick transition panels at the ankles offer up a fast removal in transition. Meanwhile, a deep pull zipper aims to ease removal of the wetsuit.
