Test: Sailfish One - Extreme buoyancy

Sailfish One – Extreme buoyancy

The Sailfish One 2021 is one of the most legendary models among the top of the range of this German premium brand, and since its birth it has been evolving to continue offering, season after season, the best performance to swimmers and triathletes. These evolutions and its characteristics, have made this wetsuit one of the most used in all competitions in both triathlon and open water events for its high performance for all types of events and distances.

The Sailfish One 2021 offers maximum buoyancy due to the “Aerodome” panels located in the chest and thigh area; as well as high flexibility.

Another feature of the Sailfish One 2021 Sailfish One 2021 is the “Zero Resistance Panel”, which consists in the way the model is built and designed in the form of a “Zero Resistance Panel”, and this time, we are in front of a model built and designed in the form of a <Y>. Thanks to this neoprene pattern, the most natural position of the suit is in the position of the arms extended in the stroke, so there is no resistance on the arms and shoulders of the swimmer. This is a great advantage to reduce the athlete’s fatigue to a minimum during long training sessions and competitions.

The Sailfish One 2021 features “Comfort collar” technology for added comfort during use. On the other hand, the stability panels stabilize the swimmer in the roll phase to swim in a straight line, this is a great advantage to go from one buoy to the next getting an extra stability that can make us save extra meters.

It is a super lightweight neoprene, a property that is not always taken into account when choosing and that is very important especially when we talk about its weight in the wet. The inner lining of the Sailfish One 2021 does not retain water so the swimmer does not have to carry extra grams or kilos. This same “ultra-soft stretch inner liner” provides incredible comfort when putting on and taking off the wetsuit as well as extreme softness while wearing it.

The “Stability hip panel” assists the swimmer in the hip turns that accompany the stroke. This thin panel in the hip area makes the twisting of the material very smooth and helps the swimmer to perform correctly, thus reducing the physical wear and tear of a less flexible neoprene in that area.

Without a doubt, the Sailfish One 2021 is a first-class wetsuit to take you to the top in both training and competition.

For who?

The Sailfish One 2021 is an ideal wetsuit for all types of swimmers looking for a top of the range wetsuit with maximum buoyancy and stretch.

Recommendations

As with all its models, Sailfish recommends the use of Sailfish Skin Neck Protector instead of Vaseline, Sailfish’s roll-on made from natural oils that helps prevent chafing on the neck while protecting the material properly. Vaseline is corrosive to all wetsuits and inner liners so it is best avoided.

The Sailfish ONE 2021 includes a waterproof backpack to carry your wetsuit safely.
