2XU V: 1 Velocity Wetsuit #1700

2XU V: 1 Velocity wetsuit is the point of reference in wetsuit technology. Incorporating 4 new propriety creations from 2XU including High Velocity Strakes for improved hydrodynamics and increased forward motion, Aquatic Membrane Arms for neutral buoyancy and greater feel of the water, Concave Water Entrapment Zones on the forearm and finally 2XU Propulsion Panel on the lower leg for greater power out of your kick. The V: 1 also features other propriety creations including the Rollbar, Floating Zip Panel and Transition Panels.

Optimizing the maximum 5mm thickness allowed under the International Federation Rules, and incorporating 39 cell rubber; the most buoyant on the market due to the cell density (spec gravity=.13). Maximum buoyancy means less body in the water therefore less wetted surface area, and a faster overall speed through the water.

2XU V: 1 wetsuit utilizes Nano SCS giving the wetsuit an extra 4% in buoyancy over standard SCS. The underwater coefficient of dynamic friction of the SCS Nanoskin is 0.026 in comparison to 4.0 of regular neoprene.

2XU have engineered a wetsuit with the optimum chest-hip buoyancy balance. Synchronizing hip and chest buoyancy through the front panel cut Without this formula hip or chest submersion can occur throwing out your level body position and your stroke, bringing into play both inefficient technique and the usage of untrained muscles , bringing on quicker fatigue.

The hydrodynamic flow over the front of the wetsuit is interrupted by seams, so 2XU have a one piece design from the neck to the knee to reduce drag and increase speed through the water.

Industry first Rollbar region improves the buoyancy in the core of the wetsuit. Better body position is delivered through maintained buoyancy when the body rolls off the front panel. This ultimately maintains higher body position and derives power from better positioned hips; enhancing the pull phase of the stroke.

Utilizing new generation 1.5mm 40 cell neoprene the most flexible available on the indudtry.

The main factor for underarm material selection is flexibility. The underarm is a key panel which dictates the degree of shoulder and arm movement, releasing the swimming stroke action, allowing a complete extension along the latissimus dorsi. Both the neoprene and inner lining materials have been selected for maximum flexibility

520% Stretch Neoprene with 4 ways stretches. This is in turn complemented by the highly flexible hollow polyester fiber lining.

New and exclusive to 2XU are the Propulsion panels, establishing a greater frontal region due to internal neoprene strips, along with 2XU propriety Strakes for more grip on the water for more stabilized power from the kick.

2XU zip is manufactured from reliable light and strong material, positioned behind the back panel lapels to reduce water intake and streamlined for speed.
