Challenger Triathlon Wetsuit – 220 Triathlon Magazine
The headline feature of the Lomo Challenger is clearly its price point. The £89.99 causes a double-take moment, leaving you wondering if a digit is missing from the tag.
Constructed from smooth-skin neoprene, it still offers a performance that’s comparable with suits costing twice or even three times as much. Admittedly, the cut is generous, meaning you may end up going one size down from normal to find a snug fit ( the downside of that price is Lomo are a direct online seller, so you’ll have to travel to Glasgow to try before you buy). The shoulder flexibility is adequate but certainly in a different league to cheap surfing suits you’d otherwise be limited to in the sub-£100 category. The design is very simple, with neon green underarm panels added for 2014 to give it a touch more style than previous years. It’s only 3mm neoprene at its thickest, but the bouynacy is acceptable.
Verdict:
Incredible value and produces respectable performance
