The Ruby Fresh Bob Buoyancy Short will provide the correct buoyancy to keep your sinking 'lower section' high and flat, without using a full wetsuit. This is a great transitional product from full body wetsuit to 'skins'. And/or a superb alternative to using a full wetsuit when the water is deemed too warm*. The Bob Buoyancy Short aims to imitate the body position and experience of a wetsuit swim. 

Can be used in the sea and useful too in the pool. In fact, The Bob buoyancy short will be a godsend. Better than a pull buoy, because these shorts let you kick and turn naturally, without a pull buoy stuck between your knees. Bob shorts are designed as an alternative to a pull buoy providing a more natural feeling of buoyancy and allowing swimmers to develop their swimming with the extra core support**. 

Providing lift through the thigh and hip area, the Bob buoyancy short will improve your overall technique in pool training sessions and swim times. It does this by putting you in a streamlined swimming position, helping your body to form a straight line and better align with the surface of the water, reflecting the buoyancy profile of our original Flow wetsuit.

Made from the absolute best quality Japanese SCS Smooth Skin Yamamoto #39 grade limestone derived neoprene, with 5mm Aerodome in all the right places. Limestone neoprene has more bubbles per mm³ thus providing better flotation / buoyancy than oil derived neoprene for the same nominal thickness, plus is more supple and it generally feels nicer to wear.
