Welcome to the April kit review. As the summer season edges closer we test out the latest wetsuits, from Arena’s carbon technology to the Alpkit Silver Tip Thermal. We also look at what to wear underneath them, with a selection of base layers to keep you toasty until the water temperatures rise.
Goggles are always an individual thing, but there’s a taster of what the swim brands have to offer. And in the costumes, new Funkita prints stand out alongside the Speedo Powerform Women’s Swimsuit’s sporty and supportive design. There’s also ear plugs, swim hats and kit bags for it all to go in.
A big thank you to our testers this month (Gail, Kathrine, Bex, Lizzy, Emily, James and Adam), who along with Alice and Jonathan put the kit through its paces.
