I upgraded from the Orca S6 to the WIKI WIKI 2.0. What a difference. The upper is extremely flexible and comfortable. The bottom is very buoyant. I am 5’10, 196lbs, with a thick, muscular, upper body. The XL fit very well. The trick to get any suit to settle in place is to get it on, then get a good amount of water going in the chest area, then exaggerate a butterfly motion, then kick and the suit settles in perfect. The upper on this suit really feels like you are not wearing a wetsuit. With suits, there is a difference in quality and the price of the suit. The suit has bright colors , which makes it easier for family to find you in a race. I think this suit is going to be a key component to a fast , efficient, swim, which results in saved energy for my upcoming IM Panama City 2022. With the Orca S6, I was fatigued after a swim, as I was fighting the suit with my upper body. I absolutely love and highly recommend this suit. Don’t think twice about this suit. The suit is also a good price for the features it includes, when compared to other suits price for similar features.
Used the 2.0 at California Ironman. What an awesome wetsuit. It was the first time for me using this wetsuit (recent purchase). Awesome fit, great flexibility and it helped me secure first out of the water in my age group! And - super easy to take off... Thank you Zoot!
You can feel the quality right when you take it out of the box. Super thin right where you want it. Fits like a glove. No chafing. Really easy to peel it off quickly. I was worried about buoyancy coming from a “beginner” wetsuit but my feet stay right at the surface. I’m so happy with this purchase.
I love my WikiWiki 2.0! I also own the Kona (sleeveless) and Bolt in size Medium Tall. Both were a little tight in the chest. This tightness due to good weight gain.
When I upgraded to the Wiki I purchased the Large. A perfect fit for me at 5’11, 188 lbs.
The flexibility in the shoulders is like going sleeveless without the chafing. The chest did not feel restrictive. The buoyancy in the legs was enough to stick to my minimum kick during the swim.
With the combination of a well fitted WikiWiki and TriGlide I had zero chafing during the 1.2 mile swim at IM Texas 70.3.
I would highly recommend WikiWiki 2.0! Curious on how much better a 3.0 could be.
The wetsuit fits like a glove, and feels effortless to swim in. The shoulders are awesome, not tight at all and the chest has more room and doesn’t feel like it’s constricting at all, as advertised! It also was surprisingly easy to get off after the swim which was a nice change of pace. Wish I would’ve bought this earlier in the season!
Easy on, easy off, lots of flexibility in the shoulders. Very high end. Nicest wetsuit I’ve ever had.
Best wetsuit I have ever tried. The shoulders are so flexible it’s like the wetsuit is not even there. Comfortable neckline that does not restrict my breathing like other wetsuits certainly do. Feels really fast too.
This. Is. Amazing! First, kudos to the guys manning the shop, ordered a size large per sizing guide. (WikiWiki 1.0 would have been a medium tall) For sizing purposes I was 178lbs and 41” chest and the large was to big! No problem, quick RMA and my medium tall is here! Now for the nuts and bolts.
This suit is fast. For reference: I am upgrading from a middle of the line Xterra as my baseline. On that suit I had to order an XL to get the shoulders to fit, leaving the middle flabby and loose. That was 30 pounds ago, so I had to get a new suit.
The tech in this suit is unbelievable. The sleeves are super flexible with a great catch panel that actually works! The nano coating is legit hydrophobic. The water beads up and runs right off. The leg panels are perfect for me with plenty of floatation (pretty much a pull buoy level). The quick release ankle panels aren’t a gimmick, they work well. (I had cut the calves down on my Xterra to get out of it faster) The torso is amazing, it has a texture built for speed and is amazing for midline stability.
Not quite the perfect suit- one critique is needed. Perhaps it is my weird swimmer body but the back of the neck rubs me a bit during sighting. On my second trial I used some tri slide and that worked pretty well.
Still- 5 star suit and then some!
Ohana forever!
