It has been a very busy time for Lennon Performance Products so far this year. We have been developing and further improving out wetsuit apparel, sponsoring events and winning more championships! Here is a round-up of some of the things that we have been developing, some offers and what you can expect from us in the next few months.

Waterproof Socks

Our waterproof socks were originally part of our winter product range, but they have been so popular that we have added them into our autumn range this year! They will be available in extra small (UK 4-6), small (UK 6-8), medium (UK 8-10) and large (UK 10-12). We have redeveloped them to make them even warmer by using 2.5mm neoprene. This new design will be ready to order from September/October 2018.

Youth Apparel

Our long-awaited youth tops will be available to order in the autumn. These come in a range of youth sizes and colours. Our youth long johns should be available to purchase in the coming months too. They are made to the same high standard as the rest of the Lennon Racewear range. We are also including our waterproof socks in youth sizes in the autumn! As one of our valued subscribers, we will let you know in advance when they are ready to order. Please keep an eye out for our mailing to take advantage of this new range.
