ZONE3 Neoprene Socks

After testing most other socks on the market, Zone3 found that many filled with water and easily slipped off the foot when being used. A design solution was found by increasing the length of the sock, so it could be tucked into the wetsuit to ensure no exposed skin and also adding a Velcro strap around the top to keep the sock in place. A simple solution but an industry first!

The under-sole is made from a durable, gripping fabric which helps to protect when walking to and from the water, whether by the sea, lake or river.

ZONE3 Neoprene Gloves

After testing most swimming gloves on the market Zone3 found that they nearly all started ballooning with water during swimming and started to slip off the hands. A design solution was found by increasing the length of the gloves, so they can be tucked over or under the wetsuit to ensure no exposed skin and also adding a Velcro strap to keep the glove in place.

Zone3 have also removed the webbing between the fingers, which other brands tend to use, to make swimming feel much more natural and less fatiguing. For sizing, we recommended size small for ladies or men with small sized hands and Medium or Large for Men based on hand size.

ZONE3 Neoprene Cap

The ultimate thermal protection for open water swimming, the premium Zone3 Neoprene Skull Cap provides warmth while maintaining good hydrodynamics through the water.

Anyone who has experienced ‘brain-freeze’ when swimming in cold water will know how valuable triathlon skull caps can be to get you going!

The design is focused on making this cap the best fit possible and has a Velcro strap which joins under the chin to cater for different head sizes. We have found the biggest complaint from swimmers who use the one-piece caps is that they can feel ‘tight’ under the chin and have no adjustability. This design therefore helps to alleviate this problem. The cap is made from a high quality 4mm Yamamoto Smoothskin material for warmth and water tightness.
