BODYCHEST Using Yamamoto neoprene with SCS coating we have optimal buoyancy which means less body in the water therefore less wetted surface area, and a faster overall speed through the water. Water is 1000 times denser than air, and has a drag coefficient 10 times greater than air. Buoyancy is the ultimate component of speed. SCS coating which drastically reduces water resistancefriction f0.032 2XU have engineered the Comp 1 Sleeveless wetsuit with the optimum chesthip buoyancy balance. Synchronising 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. 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. This ultimately maintains higher body position speed in water and derives power from better positioned hips enhancing the pull phase of the stroke. LEGS The upper legs region of seamless front panel are created using Yamamoto neoprene with optimised buoyancy with SCS coating. The lower legs have a reduced neoprene 3mm panel structure to help with the run up the beach, and to remove the wetsuit with more ease. Adjustable length leg to customize fit for your kicking style. Trim the leg length back to reduce buoyancy and lower your feet for more kick power, or save your legs for the bike and run with a full flotation suit to the ankle. Quick release leg cut for faster suit removal. 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, and allow the zip to float with body movement. This is achieved by the one piece floating zip panel, no seams so less restriction. SEAT AND CROTCH PANELS These two panels are all about maximising 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. Utilising a lining which will hold its shape and support in a region where most of the power in the stroke can come from. In utilizing materials which compress the muscles in the buttock and higher leg greater muscle stability reduces fatigue and allows the muscle to be primed for greater power output. Crotch panel also utilizes slightly thinner thickness to enhance the run up the beach by allowing more flexibility without sacrificing the suits buoyancy. NECK PANEL The neckline must balance tension perfectly to minimize both water intake and chaffing. This neckline solution is completed with an adjustable fastening collar system, allowing you to personalize the fit and maintain the perfect tension. Seamless front construction so less drag. Only one seam on the inside allows less risk of chafing. 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.
