Classic Performance | Size M: 135–150lbs (runs small)
Rare Piel Long John triathlon wetsuit. Known as a "cult classic" brand from the early 2000s, Piel suits were engineered with a singular focus: Transition Speed. Pop the zippers and it’s off.
The "Long John" style is highly sought after by triathletes who want the buoyancy benefits of a full suit without any of the shoulder restriction.
Features:
• Tank Top / Sleeveless Design: Provides 100% unrestricted shoulder mobility—perfect for swimmers with a wide range of motion or those who tend to overheat in full suits.
• Target Weight: 135 – 150 lbs.
• Hydrodynamic Smoothskin: Low-drag exterior surface to help you glide through the water.
• The Piel "Quick-Exit": This brand was famous for how easily the neoprene slides off the skin, allowing for lightning-fast T1 times.
• Core & Leg Buoyancy: Thick neoprene panels designed to lift the hips and legs into a more efficient, horizontal swimming position.
Condition Notes:
• Fit: Designed for a lean to athletic profile between 135 and 150 pounds.
• Neoprene is still supple and elastic; zipper and Velcro neck closure are fully functional.
Why this suit?
Piel is a "if you know, you know" brand for triathlon gear collectors and veterans. It’s an excellent choice for someone looking for an affordable entry into open-water swimming or a specialized suit for races where the water is just warm enough that sleeves feel like too much.
