Xterra Wetsuits - Men's Volt Triathlon Wetsuit - Sleeveless Neoprene Wet Suit (3mm Thickness) | Designed for Open Water Swimming - Ironman & USAT Approved

I'm training for the St. Mary's International Triathlon in 64 degree water, so I needed to get a wetsuit and fast because I have less than two months until the Tri. Not only does the wetsuit keep my body toasty warm, I was amazed how buoyant I was in the water and how easily I glided through the water. I was also impressed with the craftsmanship and design. High quality through and through! My first swim in open water with the Vortex was my fastest swim to date! I highly recommend the XTERRA Vortex sleeveless if you're a Tri athlete or you just like invigorating cold, open water swimming. The second best part of my experience with XTERRA was their supreme costumer service!!!! I originally ordered the Volt sleeveless, but due to a backorder they had to upgraded my order to the more expensive Vortex sleeveless at NO EXTRA COST. Their customer service representative (Kris) was a pleasure to interact with and she shipped the replacement product to me via FedEX without question. She even offered me a free T-shirt or hat for my troubles. Because of that whole experience, I am a loyal XTERRA fan!

I LOVE this wetsuit! And I hate wetsuits. I'm a surfer, not a triathalon'er, so my needs are different but this fills those needs perfectly. I can't stand all the rubber on my arms in a normal wetsuit. You lose so much paddle power stretching the rubber around. And those newer 'chest zip' suits... Brutal to get on and off. This thing is great. I've been out in cool'ish water 62-64 or so. And yes my arms get a little cold, but my core body temp never drops. The black skin gets HOT in the sun, it's awesome. I stayed out over an hour last time. I feel like this would be good all the way down to 60F for over an hour. And TBH, I don't want to surf when it's colder than that. So this is basically my go-to suit from now on.Another bonus, if you bike or ride a moped to the beach, with a normal wetsuit, you'll freeze on the bike home. With this wetsuit the whole thing is made from the windproof "skin" that normal surfing wetsuits only use on the chest and back panel. So you can leave it on and be warm on the ride home too, a little wind won't freeze you out.Bottom line: My core is warm like a fullsuit, but I can paddle like I'm in trunks. LOVE this thing!

I've never owned a wet suit before, and getting close to 60, psyching myself up to swim during the winter and not feel too cold has become increasingly painful to do. It really was starting to kill my enthusiasm about lake swimming over the winter. After reading multiple articles in various magazines I decided to purchased the Xterra Volt. Having a quality Tri wet suit allows me to continue distance swimming during the winter months in preparation for the Spring Triathlon season. I followed the manufactures size recommendations...and based on the sizing chart...being 5'10", 191lbs, with a 46" chest and a 34" waist I decided to purchased the Med-Large sleeve-less (more arm mobility while swimming). When it arrived, the fit was just a little snug...but that's great, since I plan on dropping about 10-15 lbs. I've worn it several times now...air temp has been hovering around 55-60 degrees and the water temp around 57-58 degrees. When starting out on a swim, my arms, hands and feet are cold at first, but soon warm up because the suit keeps my core at a perfect temperature. I would recommend this suit for anyone that wants to train over the winter. GOOD LUCK!

Great wetsuit. Great customer service. They are friendly and wonderful people. The wetsuit is well made and keeps me warm. I have used this to swim in water down to 55 degrees and my body has stayed warm. I use this almost daily for tri training in open waters and have had no issues with it at all. It is designed well. I can get in to it and zipped up by myself fairly easily. The wetsuit moves well when swimming or running and is not too hard to get out of during transition phases. I would definitely order from this company again and would recommend this product to anyone looking to buy a wetsuit.

Just used this wet suit for a triathlon after doing my first tri without a wet suit, worked awesome and didn't break the bank for a beginner. Fit as described through the legs and torso, however, shoulders/chest could be a little tight depending on build but good thing it was sleeveless. It is tight in the ankles (with no zippers) and thought that might be an issue in transition but it was no issue at all. I am 6' and 190lbs and ordered a large. Having never worn a wet suit I really appreciated the fact that you could take this one for a test swim and still return it, though that won't be necessary...Would definitely recommend.

I would not recommend this low-quality wetsuit. The zipper on my wetsuit failed after only a couple of uses. The zipper was so badly defective, that I was unable to use the wetsuit again. I returned it to Xterra. Xterra received my defective wetsuit, but would not offer me even a partial refund. Any company that's not willing to stand behind their product is not worth dealing with. This company has by far the worst customer service I've ever dealt with.

I am 50 and have done about 30 triathalons over the past 30 years but have never owned a wetsuit. It was amazing how much faster it made me!! Crazy faster! I usually finish in the top half of swimmers (without a wetsuit) and yesterday I finished fifteenth out of about eighty swimmers! So cool to finally find out that I am as a good of a swimmer as them when I have a wetsuit like them!! My XTERRA wetsuit was worth EVERY penny!! Dan

I am 5ft 6in, 150pds average build. I selected the mens medium and it fits great. This is my first sleeveless wetsuit. Its much easier on the shoulders than my full suit. Easy to get on and off. So far happy with my purchase. Seems to be well constructed. I am always concerned about the zippers on this stuff, but so far so good.
