Helix BlueSeventy wetsuit review

The BlueSeventy Helix is one of those wetsuits that immediately feels fast in the water. What stands out most is how natural it feels when swimming, there’s plenty of buoyancy to help your body position, but it never feels like the suit is forcing you into an awkward stroke. It's built for athletes who want to perform their best on race day and get every advantage possible during the swim leg. I highly recommend it!
