My P:1 Propel Women's Wetsuit was a Christmas gift from my husband but I chose it out of a range of several suits I tried on. It's the first swimming wetsuit I've ever owned and I find it lightweight and comfortable around the ankles, neck and wrists. The neoprene is supple and has good give, providing a fine fit, far superior to other suits I've rented or borrowed from friends so far. It does the job in the water, too, making me feel ready to take my swimming to a new level, especially in open water. Overall a good product and a fantastic gift. I am delighted!
Product Details
2XU P1 Propel Womens Wetsuit
The 2XU P1 Propel Women's Wetsuit perfectly balances buoyancy and flexibility for performance in the water.
2XU Propel P1 Swimming / Triathlon Wetsuit Features
An SCS (Super Composite Skin) coating over the entire wetsuit creates a unique material that is hydrophobic and hydrodynamic; repelling water when in contact with the air and reducing the surface resistance when in contact with water. Lower resistance equals increased speed, so you'll cut faster through the water, as well as find it easier to get the suit on and off. This material is also highly durable and comfortable and will keep you warmer when you're swimming for longer periods.
This suit will increase the distance you travel per stroke, with a silicone concave water entrapment zone and a floating zip to increase movement. A 520% internal stretch lining improves lateral flexibility.
For the optimal body position in the water, 2XU has utilised a rollbar to increase core buoyancy and ensure you retain an efficient stroke, even when fatigue sets in. The front panel is constructed from a 5mm 39 Cell neoprene - the most buoyant available - to further support you exactly where you need it.

Size Guide
Your suit should fit adequately in terms of both your height and weight. In the case that you fit into more than one size, you should opt for the smaller size. While 2XU wetsuits come in both men's and women's styles, some females prefer the fit of a men's suit. This is fine. On the arms, your wetsuit sleeves should finish at least one finger gap in distance from your wrist bone. This will ensure the suit is sitting high enough and does not pull on the shoulders. In the legs, the wetsuit legs should finish 3/4 of the way down your shin. This will ensure the suit is sitting high into the crutch. If sitting too low, the suit will pull on the top of the shoulders.
Around the neck, the wetsuit should be firm but not to the point that breathing is restricted. If the neck bunches at all, the suit is too big. The neck is the number one area water can enter the suit, so it needs to be secure.

SM = Small Medium
Reviews
I qualify sizing is a problem for me. If I based on the weight, I should had been a CD. Instead after my expensive experience with Roka,I know weight isn't the correct "gauge". Cos I have very light bones and after kids, the hips sizes changes too. Instead I bought a SM. I would say it was easy to put on. Compressed enough at the right parts. Only for my arms it's a bit loose but better than not able to lift them right? The only small grip is cos of the size, sleeves are long and as part of the edge isn't sewn properly, it causes abrasion. So I folded the ends inwards..Problem solved. I have no issues on the neck. Fitted me find. Kept me warm but doesn't feel that heavy compared to Roka. Alot of buoyancy that I wondered why am I kicking above water. Ha! Brilliant that they gave gloves! Awesome. Overall I am very happy with the buy. Just need to get use to wearing and swimming in them!

How warm is this wetsuit? Suitable for North Sea in winter months?
Hi Paula, This wetsuit is designed to go down to around 13 degrees, however, you could go to lower temperatures if you wore other items for warmth alongside the wetsuit. Many thanks, Max
