BLU70 HELIX WETSUIT REVIEW

Tested by:
João Arteche - Head Coach, Apex Triathlon Team

Quick Summary:
The Blue70 Helix wetsuit is a performance wetsuit that prioritizes natural swimming mechanics over excessive assistance.
From a coaching perspective, it supports good swimmers without masking technical limitations.

What we liked:
- Excellent shoulder freedom allows natural stroke rhythm
- Balanced buoyancy supports position without overcorrecting
- Good feel for the water, useful for technique awareness
- Reliable across training and race conditions
- Smooth removal for faster transitions

What to consider:
- Not designed to compensate for poor technique
- Fit must be precise to perform well
- Less buoyant than entry-level suits

Who it’s for:
- Athletes with a solid swim foundation
- Intermediate to advanced triathletes
- Long-course athletes focusing on efficiency

When to use it:
- Race-specific open water sessions
- Key training phases
- Wetsuit-legal race days

Final thoughts:
This is a wetsuit that respects the swimmer. It enhances what is already there rather than trying to fix weaknesses.
Best suited for athletes focused on long-term progression and performance.
