Realm Wetsuits in Tracks Review
See how The Realm Wetsuits held up in the latest TRACKS wetsuit tests. It will change how you buy your wetsuits and how much you will pay.
Turbo" This was The Realm's first year on the Tracks Wettie test and they entered the arena with a bang. The Turbo scored nines in each category from everyone that tried it. The suit was well sealed and very warm the flexibility of the the neoprene was supported by the zipperless design. the Turbo is a great all round suit and The Realm are already up to speed with the bigger boys."
V12While The Realm’s entry into the back zip category wasn’t as mind blowing as its cousin, the V12 is still a solid suit. The flexibility and warmth of the neoprene is impressive for the price and the blind stitched seams with silicon seal taping kept a good amount of water out while still allowing freedom of movement. Amazing value.
