Active-Flex Buoyancy Shorts

They’re better than jammers

I swim in the sea daily during summer, and in winter I switch to the local council pool. Moving to fresh water is always a struggle, and the change in buoyancy is surprising. These do help, though it’s hard to know by how much. In my case, I feel I should have spent a bit more and gone for the Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts ‘Originals’ 5/3mm. I’m around 95 kg and could have used a bit more lift.

Active-Flex Buoyancy Shorts

Fit is true to size. Very comfortable & buoyancy level was just enough to maintain a good swimming position, without being too much. I use for open water swimming and am sure these will also provide additional warmth as the sea cools down, until such time as it gets cold enough over the winter to require a full wetsuit

Just re-ordered!

Had my first pair for over 12months and use them pretty much daily for sea swimming (throughout the winter also). Absolutely brilliant in terms of comfort & fit and the initial lift they give you in terms of buoyancy is a real confidence booster and makes swimming, especially in slightly choppy conditions, so much easier. Will be interesting to see if getting a new pair makes a difference again as I'm not certain if that buoyancy just becomes less noticeable or performance slightly decreases with wear & tear. . . money very, very well spent
