The 2XU Comp1 Wetsuit for all triathletes provides great value for money, delivering enhanced flexibility and quality materials. The equation and buoyancy, flexibility, and reduced drag have been considered for every panel.

• BODY/CHEST 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.
• ROLLBAR 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.
• UNDERARM/LATERAL PANEL 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.
• LEGS the lower legs have a reduced 3mm panel structure to help with the run up the beach, and to remove the wetsuit with more ease.
• BACK PANELS (MAIN LATERAL AND LOWER BACK) Fundamental panels many other wetsuit brands underestimate. 2XU have engineered a back panel structure which is strong enough to contain the rigid zip, withstanding the punishment of constant use, but more importantly flexible enough to interact with the underarm panel, and allow the zip to float with body movement. SEAT AND CROTCH PANELS these two panels are all about maximizing buoyancy, while having an anatomical fitting shape so water does not gather in this region. An ill fitted suit will allow the back up of water and increase in weight.
• SHOULDER (AND EXTERIOR ARM) PANEL utilizing hyper flexible yet buoyant 1.5mm 40 cell rubber with hydrophobic Polyester backing, the 2XU shoulder panel absorbs less water when the suit is submerged, with maximum stretch.
• FOREARM GRIP PANEL the rough capsule texture on the anterior forearm (rather than the smooth SCS coating we have on the other panels) grips the water and enhances the power of your catch with a better purchase of the water. This mesh panel anchors the arm so the body can effectively flow through and past the planted forearm, enhancing your ability to pull yourself through the water.
• NECK PANEL The neckline must balance tension perfectly to minimize both water intake and chaffing.
• INVISIBLE ZIP the 2XU zip is manufactured from reliable light and strong material, positioned behind the back panel lapels to reduce water intake and streamlined for speed.
