XTERRA LAVA Shorts Triathlon Wetsuit Shorts - 5 mm Neoprene Buoyancy ShortsXTERRA LAVA SHORTS are designed for shorter speed and technique sets as well as cool-down. The shorts are above the knee thereby allowing for natural flip turns. For long swim sets, or for recovery swims, consider the LAVA PANTS which provide additional buoyancy. The shorts can be used for both speed and recovery swims. For speed sets, LAVA Shorts will allow you to train at faster interval paces. For recovery sets, you will be able to focus on correct swimming form without exerting too much energy. This training wetsuit offers race-level buoyancy and a natural range of motion at every training session, which over time improves technique and pacing while building muscle memory. Dynamic design makes LAVA Shorts comfortable to train in, do flip-turns, and easy to change into and out of. The waistband is low-cut in the front and rides higher in the back, allowing for natural breathing and comfortable flip turns without concern of losing your suit. LAVA Shorts are easy to put on in or out of the water, for a quick transition from warm up to workout to cool down. Made for the pool but warm enough for some open water swims, heavy-duty construction ensures that LAVA Shorts are a durable training tool for most water conditions. LAVA SHORTS are completely legal under the new rules set by USAT and WTC when wetsuits are legal. LAVA SHORTS are a wetsuit and can only be worn in races that permit wetsuits. Always check with the race director prior to using the LAVA SHORTS in competition.

Life saver. Helps keep your behind up a little ...
Life saver. Helps keep your behind up a little. Makes all the difference in the world, especially when I'm a rookie swimmer.

Excellent training shorts
Lava shorts are outstanding! They work exactly as promoted. They are quick to put on and take off. They provide just enough buoyancy to make it easier to work on your form. I shaved 15 min off my swim time in the pool. Can't wait to try them on an open swim.

Comfortable fit
product arrived on time or early & was as described. I have only used a few times so far but did notice better buoyancy which is the main reason I bought them. Very little body fat, I tend to sink

Lava Pants versus Lava shorts.
Great product for someone with sinking legs. Have a four start because it rides very low in the back compared to the Lava pants.

Fragile
In my first 2 weeks I got 3 tears on It. Seems to be so fragile, sensitive for a wetsuit. I was expecting something more resistant.

Works better if you have some prior experience swimming but works anyhow at any level
Fits very snug, be prepared for some effort to put them on, however once on, they are great. Works as advertised, in giving you an extra lift, for your hips and legs, so you can mainly concentrate on your stroke. Helps in streamlining and ease in engaging your kick as you hips are lifted.

I like the style and how they fit.
I am not a strong swimmer, and I usually find the water too cold to even go in. I like these because they help keep me warm, and the buoyancy helps me when I'm swimming.I am 5ft 7 inches and weigh a hundred and forty five pounds, the large was snug but a good fit.
