Technologies
-
Infinity Skin 2
The Infinity Skin 2 inner lining provides an absolute feeling of freedom. Designed from a highly elastic nylon composed of bamboo fibers, this technology is applied to our wetsuits to offer you greater flexibility with every arm movement. It retains body heat longer, reduces bad odors, and prevents the growth of bacteria in your wetsuit. Additionally, it is made from natural and eco-sustainable materials that prevent skin irritations and are not harmful to the environment.
-
USC - Ultimate Seal Collar
The combination of laser cutting at the neck and collar, along with reverse velcro, reduces friction, preventing the appearance of marks on the skin.
-
YKK10
YKK10 zippers are highly durable and high-performance components. Their robustness extends their lifespan, and their high quality prevents water from penetrating the suit.
-
Yamamoto 38FS
Elasticity, maximum flexibility, and a feeling of total freedom merge thanks to the combination of Yamamoto 38 neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining, and Smoothskin surface finish. Due to these characteristics, the triathlete will be able to exert 30% less force for quick, short arm movements, and 40% less force for slower, broader movements, compared to any other conventional neoprene.
-
Smoothskin
Thanks to the "Smoothskin" finish (soft skin), the neoprene retains good hydrodynamic properties.
-
Yamamoto 39HV
High visibility and a sensation of total freedom merge thanks to the combination of neoprene, Infinity Skin 2 lining, and high-visibility His-Vis outer textile. This combination allows the open water swimmer to experience unrestricted arm movements. Additionally, the high-visibility textile enhances safety.
-
Yamamoto 38
The 3 mm thick Yamamoto 38 provides extra buoyancy to make the swimmer feel more comfortable in open water. The inner lining combined with the neoprene allows the suit to fit the swimmer's body better.
