The Zeal Hi-Vis Wetsuit is the evolution of Openwater RS1 SW.
The Zeal Hi-Vis combines visibility, buoyancy and elasticity. It’s the ideal wetsuit for open water swimmers who face the harshest conditions. The arms, legs and back feature high-visibility orange for safety. The buoyancy of Aerodome 2 technology will keep you feeling safe on your open water adventures. For increased thermal comfort and better sealing, a second layer of “batwing” neoprene is included, which prevents water from entering the suit’s zipper and neck area.
Enjoy the conveniences of the Mesh Backpack and Knit Gloves, included with the purchase of the Zeal Hi-Vis. These accessories allow you to store, transport and put on your neoprene without damaging the material.

The perfect combination of buoyancy, elasticity, visibility and thermal comfort in this wetsuit allows you to feel comfortable and safe swimming in open water. In addition, this suit features Restube Ready technology, which can be used with a Restube buoy.

High Buoyancy
The incorporation of technologies, such as Aerodome 2, gives this wetsuit a high level of buoyancy to boost your confidence in the water.
Thermal Comfort
The 5 mm leg panels, together with the “Batwing” hood, provide superior thermal comfort .
Composition:
Neoprene : 95 %, Polyamide (Nylon) : 5 %
Care Instructions for Longer Durability
Cleaning
Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.
Storage
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.
The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped over a hanger from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any kind of tension on them.
For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders (Apex Flex or Apex Flow), it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.
Recommendations for use
1) If your suit has Velcro, avoid contact between the Velcro and the inner lining of the wetsuit, as it will damage the fibers in the material. Keep the Velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure that the Velcro is closed, so that the rough part of the Velcro does not damage the inside of your suit.
2) For all suits, especially those made with neoprene, be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your nails when putting on or taking off the suit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.
3) Triathlon and open water suits have been designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee correct functioning of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from use in activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.
4) Avoid leaning on or coming into contact with any surfaces (especially rough ones) while wearing your wetsuit.
