For people serious about open water swimming who are looking for a step up from an entry level wetsuit, the Sonar offers more technology than ever before. The Sonar has been engineered to include panels of orca’s Aerodome neoprene – 4mm panels that contain hundreds of air cavities that provide over 30% more buoyancy than a standard equivalent neoprene. The Aerodome has been positioned in the small of the back and core (Core Stability Panel) area to help lift the torso/core into the optimum swim position to lessen the drag and help stability. The buoyancy of the new Aerodome panels is complimented by the front 4mm Hydrolift Body Panel.
