Mako X-perience wetsuit

Posted by Karen on 21st May 2014

Mako X-perience Wetsuit Best Buy as awarded by 220 Triathlon

220 Triathlon recently put 14 wetsuits to the test and the Mako X-perience was awarded Best Buy and the overall verdict is a 'Great value entry-level suit that punches above its weight'

220 Triathlon - best buy

In his analysis Andy Blow comments 'The nicely priced X-perience wetsuit from French-brand Mako (the brainchild of ITU elite Jess Harrison) uses smooth-skin neoprene throughout to keep costs down. For a budget offering, the suit includes a few nice touches, such as a soft 1.5mm low-cut neck seal and top-down zipper, features that are absent on just about all other suits at this price point. The 4mm body panels give it reasonable buoyancy, while the 1.5mm arms and shoulders mean that flexibility is actually very impressive – although the suit could be trading off a little warmth for enhanced mobility. The manufacturing quality is excellent and gives it a really durable feel, with the fit snug, not restrictive, across the chest. If we hadn’t clocked the price tag first, we would’ve assumed the X-Perience was a far more expensive suit. Like Mako’s top-end Extreme from last year’s test, this is highly recommended'
