Description
Why would you want to buy this product over other brands?
This suit will help you swim faster in triathlons and open water swim races, including those that do not permit wetsuits. It is a highly technical hydrophobic and compressive fabric we call Liftfoil3. Just like our previous Liftfoil fabrics, we have incorporated Forza Compressor fibers into the Liftfoil3. This lifts and supports the muscles thus reducing and delaying the onset of fatigue caused by the triggering of muscles throughout any type of endurance race.
This speedsuit has no rubberized material, no polyurethane, and no neoprene. It abides to WTCs recent ruling on swimskins, speedskins, swim apparel...whatever WTC wants to call it. Our tests have shown varied improvements of swim times of about 2-4 seconds per 100 meters, depending on the individual, over a conventional swimsuit. This translates to 100" for 1500 meters and 240" for a swim of 4000 meters.
Technology
Liftfoil with ColdBlack Technology ? At speeds below 5 mph (8 kph) the best surface to flow though water is a smooth surface like Liftfoil. Liftfoil is a hydrodynamic fabric designed to be worn very tight. When stretched on a moving body, Liftfoil becomes thinner, so it absorbs less water. Because it compresses against the skin, it reduces passive drag, and acts as a foil to lift the body at the water surface.
ColdBlack Technology Sun Reflector ? UV Protector: Dark colors heat up stronger when exposed to direct sunlight compared to light colors. This no longer needs to happen! Now there is ColdBlack, a special finishing technology for textiles which reduces heat build-up and provides reliable protection from UV rays.
ColdBlack technology offers two innovative benefits:
1. Effective heat management - Light colored textiles reflect both visible and invisible rays of sunlight, meaning both heat and light. Dark colored textiles absorb both types of rays and therefore absorb heat. ColdBlack reduces this absorption of heat rays, particularly in the case of darker colors, and in all types of textiles. The result is tangibly better heat management. Because textiles finished with coldblack heat up less in all colors compared with material without a ColdBlack finish.
2. Reliable protection from UV rays - The ColdBlack technology provides a minimum UPF 30 protection (blocks 70% of UV rays) when applied to any textile in any color without affecting the look or feel of the product. As a result, textiles with ColdBlack can make an effective contribution to protecting against harmful UV rays.

Fit Note ? Triathlon apparel is meant to fit next-to-skin. This is to eliminate unnecessary drag and the potential to chafe during the swim, bike and run. If you’re not comfortable with this type of fit and or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Garment will relax slightly once wet and never shrink.
