Top 5 reasons to wear a wetsuit in a triathlon

1. Faster Swim Times

The buoyancy and hydrodynamic design of a wetsuit (especially HUUB’s ) help you move more efficiently through the water, often shaving minutes off your swim time.

2. Energy Conservation for the Bike & Run

By keeping your body in a better position and reducing resistance, wetsuits allow you to use less energy in the swim — meaning you hit T1 fresher and stronger for the rest of the race.

3. Improved Confidence in Open Water

Race-day nerves are real. A wetsuit provides extra flotation and a sense of security, especially in choppy or unfamiliar water. This helps athletes stay calm, focused, and in control.

4. Smoother Transitions

HUUB wetsuits are designed for speed — in and out of the water. With features like breakaway zippers, you’ll waste no time in T1 and be on the bike in seconds.

5. Regulated Body Temperature

Even in summer, open water can be chilly. A wetsuit helps maintain your core temperature, preventing cold-induced fatigue and keeping your muscles primed for peak performance.
