There is a plethora of triathlon wetsuit brands which manufacture a lot of different wetsuite models for male and for female swimmers. I gathered information on this site about a lot of them.

Until now I have found these models: Blueseventy Torpedo, Huub Atom II, Zone 3 Kids Adventure, Orca Opensquad, Xterra Kids Volt, Z3ROD Kid Ocean and Dare2Tri Kids MACH2. In this post you can find information about these wetsuits – description and key features from the manufacturer website plus added reviews and experiences from users.
I consider them the best ones. I would appriciate if you have some experience with them and could share it in the comments.
