RESTUBE SWIM

It's that time of the year when you're back in the water. If like me, you can get a bit nervous when you go too far out of your depth or if you're working hard to built up your distance and want a safety blanket then you should consider Restube.

For those of you unfamiliar with Restubes they are an inflatable device that you wear (deflated) in a pouch around your waist. They come with Co2 cartridges and if you get in trouble you pull the cord and inflate the tube (see video). You then swim the buoy back to shore, deflate the buoy, pack it up and replace the Co2 cartridge with a fresh one. A two pack of spare Co2 cartridges cost €8.99.

Today I'm introducing you to the the Restube Swim which is the newest and most advanced product in the range but you can check out the full range of Restubes here (there are cheaper options!) https://wildsidesports.ie/collections/restube

Restube Swim is the lightest Restube in the range coming in at just 210grams.

One of the issues with previous iterations of Restube was that they tended to move around during longer swims. The new Restube Swim comes with a removable RESTUBE active stick. With the active stick it is easier to position the Restube and prevents it from shifting during long distance swims.

Restube Swim also won the prestigious ISPO Gold Award. Here's what they had to say about it:

"RESTUBE is the airbag of watersports. Pull the trigger and RESTUBE inflates within seconds. The “RESTUBE swim” version is the most compact version ever designed, matching highest durability and quality standards with less drag and great comfort. Specifically made for all swimmers. Whether you're training for the next Ironman or just having a good time at the lake. You will feel more freedom and have an even better time around the water.

Jury statement: The logical evolution of the Restube – versatile, space-saving, and easy to use, to name just a few of its benefits"

Welcome to the new Wild Side Sports Website

This website is long overdue but my lord is at a slow process uploading hundreds and hundreds of products up here. Please be patient with us for the first few weeks as we get through the teething stage, there's bound to be a few glitches in the matrix.

Anyone who is familiar with the shop will notice that there is a lot of products not listed online that are available in the shop. Over the next few weeks we'll seek to rectify that but in the meantime give us a shout via email and phone if there's something you want to buy in a hurry.

Thanks to everyone who helped build it. Simon our fab graphic designer, Piers and Lewis our tech-gurus, John Beasely, photographer extraordinaire and as usual Phil's fabulous family who held the fort while we were stuck up to our eye-balls in it.
