Reviews about Predator Wetsuits
Here I gathered different reviews about Predator wetsuits from different sources. I hope it will help you form your impression about the Predator wetsuits.
Review on the “Slowtwitch” website June 18, dated 20197.
Short summary: But Sebi is no slouch in the water either, yet he chose the suit with more flotation. This is the Orca suit you probably want, if you don’t end up in the 3.8.
Video on the Youtube channel “Global Triathlon Network”, dated March 5, 2019.
Review on the “Aerogeeks” website March 14, dated 2018.
Short summary: Overall, it’s hard for us to find any complaints with the Predator. If we were to have any, it would probably be with the price tag. However, we are firm believers in “you get what you pay for”.
Review on the “Trizone” website, dated 2017.
Short summary: Simply one of the best wetsuits on the market today, just be prepared to pay for the pleasure.

Hello Good Folk across the world,
I will try to keep this short. I am in need of your guidance and help. I have been in two hits and run motor vehicle accidents where both parties fled the scene leaving myself and my wife with serious injuries. It has been a while since I have bene in the water. My injuries are still there however my goals are to make significant gains in the water this year. I am not done yet. I am not beat down yet. Tired and fatigued yes but NO effn way I am down and out. I have not received any income since in over twelve years. Not a dime. Not complaining Just being honest. I am wondering if ANYONE any male has some gear that they would be willing to lend me to get back in the water comfortably and regain my health and recover further more to my injuries. This would be appreciated. I reside in BC Canada. I am routing for all of you and all of humanity. Your help is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to connecting as early as possible as time waits for no one. Love all of you. All My Relations.
Hello Uncle D!
Sorry to hear that you had so heavy injuries, nevertheless it’s good to hear that you are recovering and thinking on getting into the water.
My suggestion would be to leave your email in the comment, as well as you hight and weight. Can be that someone would read the comment and conntact you.
One more possible way would be to contact the wetsuit manufacturers – Blueseventy, Roka, Orca, HUUB, Zone 3, Sumarpo or any other which you could find on my site. Tell them your story and maybe they get interested and you come up with a good project witht them!
Good luck and hope you will recover fast and well!
