Review: good quality buoyancy trunks - Good shorts, well made and comfortable. Fit true to size. Provide some minimal amount of buoyancy, if not quite the same amount as provided by a pull buoy Review: Improved swimming. - Amazing buoyancy in a swimming pool and sea. The lift improves the angle of attack and posture when swimming, hence reducing drag. Definitely worth it. Also, very high quality item. Very soft feel. ## Features - Warning:Do not fire near eyes. - NEOPRENE SHORT: Our 'Original' buoyancy wetsuit shorts are made from top Yamamoto Smoothskin neoprene. The shorts are designed using 3mm neoprene down the centre for buoyancy and 5mm neoprene down the sides to promote hip rotation through each stroke. - IMPROVES CORE STABILITY: These buoyancy shorts help place you in the correct horizontal position, helping to build a "neural pattern' of how you should feel in the water. These swim shorts help keep you afloat so you can focus on your arms and legs. Studies show that with continuous training in our buoyancy shorts, your body position, speed and endurance can be significantly increased. - SUITABLE FOR OPEN WATER AND POOL SWIMS: These shorts help develop your open water swimming technique while in the pool, where wearing a full wetsuit would either be too hot, or banned by the life-guards. The buoyancy shorts can be used in open-water training or races as an alternative to swimming in a full wetsuit (when the water is warm enough!). - FIT AND SIZING: Buoyancy shorts should be tight, but not restrictive on your thighs when out of the water. When you are in the water, you should be able to move naturally and they should not be restricting in any way. We do recommend that if you are in between sizes or are on the upper end of a size, to size up. - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01D6SEOZE | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Brand | ZONE3 | | Brand Name | ZONE3 | | Closure Type | Drawstring | | Closure type | Drawstring | | Colour | Black / Blue | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 496 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00700253438468 | | Included Components | shorts | | Item Thickness | 5 Millimetres | | Item Type Name | shorts | | Item Weight | 150 g | | Item thickness | 5 Millimetres | | Manufacturer | Zone3 | | Manufacturer Part Number | NA19UBSORG101 | | Material | Neoprene | | Material Type | Neoprene | | Model Number | NA18MBSO101/S | | Product Warranty | 1 Year Warranty | | Size Map | S | | Sleeve Type | Sleeveless | | Sport | Swimming, Triathlon | | Sport Type | Swimming, Triathlon | | UPC | 700253438468 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Waist Size | 30 Inches | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** ZONE3 - **Closure type:** Drawstring - **Colour:** Black / Blue - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00700253438468 - **Item thickness:** 5 Millimetres - **Material:** Neoprene - **Size map:** S - **Sleeve type:** Sleeveless - **Sport:** Swimming, Triathlon ## Images ![Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts 'Originals' 5/3mm - Unisex Wetsuit Shorts For Swim Training, Water Sports, Outdoor Swimming - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RS8oVXxlL.jpg) ![Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts 'Originals' 5/3mm - Unisex Wetsuit Shorts For Swim Training, Water Sports, Outdoor Swimming - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51iyNKV72pL.jpg) ![Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts 'Originals' 5/3mm - Unisex Wetsuit Shorts For Swim Training, Water Sports, Outdoor Swimming - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71C0FsIr2mL.jpg) ![Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts 'Originals' 5/3mm - Unisex Wetsuit Shorts For Swim Training, Water Sports, Outdoor Swimming - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711E-nOaRAL.jpg) ![Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts 'Originals' 5/3mm - Unisex Wetsuit Shorts For Swim Training, Water Sports, Outdoor Swimming - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71d2CecBncL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can these be worn in a swimming-pool or are they solely for use in the sea?** A: This is a good question. I would say use them in the pool to assist with buoyancy and allow an easier kick than using a pull buoy. I use them in the pool to give a similar buoyancy to being in the sea without a wetsuit and wearing regular trunks. **Q: I can only see the option to purchase in small. Do you have a medium in stock?** A: Xl **Q: are these really unisex. I am a female para tri and newbie looking for more buoyancy..approx 30 waist** A: Hi Sarah. There is so much flexibility in the neoprene it should should fit most shapes and sizes of people, hence the reason they call them unisex. Hope that helps! Colin. Athlos Triathlon **Q: Are these shorts for men or boys? A bit confusing as states men's but alsojunior M!** A: Men's medium, bought for my husband who is 6 foot 3, 32inch waist and they fit perfect. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good quality buoyancy trunks *by A***S on 4 March 2026* Good shorts, well made and comfortable.
