Had some mental waves, but this seems to be the only evidence so far!

John Pink and Richard Peacock commenting on the 3/3 Vortex

“Something i was massively amazed by is the steamer that you gave us. I always thought it was a 4 x 3, as i used it all winter and was pretty warm and it wasn’t till not that long a go i read on the sleeve 3 x 3 and was amazed that i had used it all winter when i usually had a 5,3 to do the same job!! ” (John Pink 2011)

Dom Moore Extreme Kitesurfer and Surfer on the 3/3 Vortex

“Loving the Vortex suit, thank you. Since I got it, I’ve been in the sea probably 90% of days, surfing, bodysurfing, getting slammed into the sand, and now more recently that the wind is back, plenty of kitesurfing. It’s definitely a warm suit; I’m into my summer suit a lot earlier than my friends – the 3/3 combo seems very logical for the UK – there are still people here paddling around in gloves and boots though maybe they are a bit misguided! Feels very comfortable too and the neck seal is proving to be very reliable in all sorts of wipeouts. Wrist seals are good and the velcro on the ankles holding great so far, I’m really enjoying this suit for multi-discipline”.

Peter Hart and the new XTR

Sorry this has been a bit late  - I got the new XTR winter suit, then the freeze came, then I went to Brazil – anyway  now I’m back and have been out in the weekend gales. The new XTR is quite simply the best winter suit I’ve ever used – in terms of flexibility it feels like a 3/2 and YET it’ toasty.
Great work too on the neck, arm and leg seals. Winter sailing has suddenly become appealing again!

Naomi Dines on her two new Spartan Winter suits

Just wanted to say how fantastic my new Ladies Cyclone 5/4/3 suit has been this winter. I’ve been out in 3 degrees with minus 5 extra windchill, and sea temps of 5 degrees, with only a shortsleeved polypro underneath, (plus hood and gloves) and been able to sail for a couple of hours at a stretch, which is pretty remarkable in a back zip suit, especially for someone just learning to sail in waves and spending plenty of time in the water! It’s also super stretchy and comfortable, especially the new neck, and really easy to get on and off. The lining seems to dry twice as fast as my other neoprene so the suit is dry overnight for the next session, which makes a real difference on the beach.

Adam Sims K669 – about his first sail in a Spartan Wetsuit in  cold cold cold December 2010

“Hi Guys,

Got out at last, yesterday. Used the Extreme Dry and it rocks! The legs are super warm, in fact the whole thing is, although i felt like i had a mini heater around my legs which was really nice. Once I was sailing I didn’t notice the zip across the shoulders which was cool. Not sure what to say, except it was awesome! Gloves were a little small I think, probably should have gone for the large but no fret.

Hood was super warm.

Really had an awesome session. 3 Hours on the water non stop!! That’s a first for me for this time of the year i think. Didn’t feel cold once, except when rigging (out of the suit).

Cheers for the suits and have a great Christmas,” (Adam Simms K669 Dec 2010)

Chris Beng – SWA commenting on his new Reflex wetsuit

‘The reflex is a fantastic suit from a fantastic company. It is one of the warmest suits I’ve ever worn and the attention to detail really makes this suit stand out from the crowd. Amazingly flexible and comfortale thanks to the assymetric shaped wrist seals and super soft neck seal. This is definitely the suit of choice to keep you warm on the water this winter!’

Helen Bainbridge comments on the Spartan wetsuits ladies 4/3 Cyclone

Congratulations to Helen – she came third at Tiree. Helen was wearing the Spartan Ladies Cyclone 4/3.

Helen said..”The Spartan summer suit has been performing well- It’s surprisingly warm, I was out in the North sea yesterday in it- a particularly cold a day and was still okay with the arms on”. (Helen Bainbridge 2010 North sea).

Alex Hill – talks about her new 4/3 ladies Spartan Cyclone

My new Ladies Spartan Wetsuit is the most comfortable suit I have ever owned.

It strectches very well around me like a second skin. So, I no longer have that urge to get it off quick.

Peter Hart – comments on the new Spartan 3/3 long arm summer suit

I have to say the 3ml all rounder is a real hit. I have it the ultimate test. In 4 days I windsurfed the waves, surfed, paddle-boarded, fished from a canoe and went snorkelling and spear fishing in the bracing Atlantic and the 3 ml did the lot. Normally the contrasting movements of paddling and windsurfing find it out, but it was flexible that I didn’t sense any compromise.
I was nervous of so much double lined neoprene but it seems good stuff and I didn’t notice any wind chill. And obviously it’s very hard-wearin

Dom Moore – Extreme Kitesurfer

“The guys at Spartan are packing serious heat into their wetsuits. This winter has been the coldest I’ve experienced in the UK but I reckon I’ve logged more water time than I did in the summer; temperature is just not an issue any more. My Spartan suits are not just high end luxury items but critical pieces of survival equipment; they give me the confidence that if something goes badly wrong out the the back in a big swell as the dark is closing in, staying warm is one thing I just don’t have to worry about. I wouldn’t trust any other suit in the Atlantic in the depths of winter”.

Oli Sweeney – Radical Kitesurfer

“wow wow wow wow and alote more wow!
ive got to say im pritty damn sure that you guys at spartan are very far ahead when it comes to a warm wetsuit.
you have changed cold miserable sessions to making the most out of them by thinking and performing like you would in a summer session.
Honestly, kiters dont no what there missing when it comes to flexible warm suits.” Winter 2010
