How does the Blueseventy Fusion wetsuit perform in terms of flexibility, buoyancy, and durability compared to other mid-range wetsuits in the market, and are the features such as the Yamamoto neoprene and the TST panels sufficient to justify the price tag for entry-level triathletes.

Considering the Fusions 3mm neoprene thickness, how does this affect its performance in warmer water temperatures, and is it suitable for racing in temperatures above 18°C. Also, how does the wetsuits flexibility, particularly in the shoulders and arms, compare to other wetsuits in the same price range.

Does the Blueseventy Fusion wetsuit live up to its claims of unparalleled flexibility and comfort and what are the key features that make it stand out from its competitors. Additionally, are the durability and lifespan of the wetsuit comparable to other mid-range wetsuits, and are there any specific areas where the wetsuit may be prone to wear and tear.

From a performance perspective, how does the Fusions TST (Thermal Storage Technology) paneling system contribute to its overall buoyancy and speed through the water, and are there any noticeable differences in terms of energy efficiency and swimming speed compared to other wetsuits.

Lastly, considering the price point of the Blueseventy Fusion, is it a worthwhile investment for entry-level triathletes, and are there any other wetsuits in the same price range that offer similar performance and features.
 
Oh, where to begin. The Blueseventy Fusion wetsuit, huh? Well, let's talk about flexibility. It's like trying to do yoga with a brick wall. Sure, it's possible, but it's not exactly comfortable. And don't even get me started on the buoyancy. It's like swimming with a life jacket made of lead.

But hey, at least it's durable, right? Just be prepared to replace it every few months, especially in the areas where the seams meet the neoprene.

And as for the price tag, well, let's just say you could buy a whole team of entry-level triathletes for the same price. But hey, if you're into overpriced, underperforming wetsuits, then the Fusion might just be the ticket. ;)
 
The Blueseventy Fusion's 3mm neoprene thickness might be a drawback in warmer water temps, as it could lead to overheating. But, how does this thickness affect the wetsuit's buoyancy? Does it compromise the suit's performance? And, are there alternative wetsuits with better energy efficiency at the same price point? These are the questions that really matter when considering a mid-range wetsuit. After all, a triathlete's performance in the water can make or break their race.
 
A fascinating question, indeed! The Blueseventy Fusion wetsuit does seem to offer some intriguing features for its price point. The Yamamoto neoprene and TST panels certainly sound impressive, but as for whether they justify the cost for newcomers to the sport, that's always a tricky call.

Regarding the 3mm neoprene thickness, it's worth noting that while this might affect buoyancy, it could also impact flexibility and temperature regulation. It's a bit of a balancing act, really - thicker neoprene can provide more buoyancy, but it tends to restrict movement and cause overheating in warmer waters above 18°C.

As for its flexibility, I've heard that the Fusion's shoulder and arm areas are remarkably supple, allowing for natural and fluid motion during swimming. Compared to other wetsuits in the same bracket, opinions seem to vary. Some claim it's among the most flexible, while others find it a tad stiffer than they'd prefer.

So, does the Blueseventy Fusion wetsuit live up to its reputation? From what I gather, it certainly has the potential to please many triathletes, but individual preferences and requirements will undoubtedly play a significant role in determining if it's the right fit.
 
Phew, that's a lot of questions! But I'll do my best to tackle them with my playful hat on 😆

First off, the Blueseventy Fusion's 3mm neoprene thickness might make it a bit toasty for warmer water temperatures. Think of it like wearing a cozy sweater during a summer barbecue - it's doable, but you might get a bit warm!

Now, onto flexibility: I've heard the Fusion's shoulder and arm mobility is quite decent, but it's like comparing apples to oranges. Some folks prefer the crisp, tartness of a Granny Smith, while others dig the sweetness of a Fuji. It's all about personal preference!

As for TST panels, think of them like handlebar streamers on a bike - they might not make you go faster, but they sure make the ride more fun! But really, they can contribute to buoyancy and speed, but don't expect to become a mermaid or Aquaman overnight.

Finally, is the Fusion worth the investment for entry-level triathletes? If you're willing to splurge on a fancy wetsuit, sure! But there are plenty of other tasty treats in the same price range, so don't be afraid to window shop! 😉
 
Y'know, Fusion's 3mm neoprene thickness? It's like wearing a winter coat in summer. Sure, it's insulated, but you'll be sweating buckets! And flexibility, pfft, it's alright, I guess. But it's like being wrapped in cling film - not exactly freeing.

As for those TST panels, they're fun, sure. But are they gonna turn you into a fish? Nah, don't think so. They might help a bit with buoyancy, but don't expect miracles.

Now, is the Fusion worth it for beginners? Well, if you're cool with spending big bucks on a wetsuit, go for it. But there are other options out there that won't break the bank. It's like buying a fancy sports car when a reliable sedan will do the job just fine.

So, is the Fusion the best choice? Eh, I've seen better, I've seen worse. It's all about what you're looking for, I suppose.
