Reviews about Reaction Wetsuits

Here I gathered different reviews about Reaction wetsuits from different sources. I hope it will help you form your impression about the Reaction wetsuits.

Review on the “Triathlon Magazine Canada” website, dated July 11, 2019.

Short summary: In comparison to Blue Seventy’s Helix wetsuit, I did find that the Reaction to be a more durable option – great for multiple races and training sessions. Great affordable option for all types of triathletes – beginners and veterans.

Review on the “Complete Tri” website, dated June 9, 2017.

Short summary: Overall, we have been happy with the durability of Blue Seventy products, and the Reaction is no exception. Blue Seventy reinforces the leg seam with liquid glue, further hedging against damage from cutting. This makes the Reaction a great choice if you are a stout and muscular body type who may need to order a larger wetsuit and cut the limb lengths down to the right sizing. The Reaction is a very solid wetsuit and may be the best of the bunch in extreme cold water.

Review on the “220 Triathlon” website, dated June 9, 2014.

Short summary: As with all the Blueseventy range, the graphics are visually striking and the suit is manufactured to a high standard in terms of finish, durability and detail. Overall, a top-notch contender.
