2009 2XU V:1 Velocity

The 2XU V:1 is the new benchmark in wetsuit technology. This wetsuit incorporates 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 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.

Features

• Industry first Velocity Strakes channel water for greater water stability resulting in less sideways movement in choppy conditions and in still conditions offering a channeling water process for greater lift and cleaner water flow movement resulting in more speed through the water
• Optimizing the maximum 5mm thickness allowed under the International Federation Rules, and incorporating 39 cell rubber for speed and buoyancy
• 2XU V:1 wetsuit utilizes Nano SCS giving the wetsuit an extra 4% in buoyancy over standard SCS
• Seamless 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 enhancing the pull phase of the stroke
• 520% Stretch Neoprene with 4 way stretch for optimal arm movement
• New and exclusive to 2XU are the propulsion panels, establishing a greater frontal region due to internal neoprene strips, along with 2XU's propriety Strakes for more stabilized power from the kick
• The lower legs have a reduced 3mm panel structure to help with the run up the beach and to remove the wetsuit with ease
• Quick Release leg cut for faster suit removal
• Crotch panel utilizes slightly thinner thickness to enhance the run up the beach by allowing more flexibility without sacrificing buoyancy
• Industry first Aquatic Membrane with neutral buoyancy helps with the catch phase of the stroke
• Neckline balances tension perfectly to minimize both water intake and chafing and is completed with an adjustable fastening collar system, allowing you to personalize the fit
• The 2XU invisible zip is manufactured from reliable light and strong material, positioned behind the back panel lapels to reduce water intake and streamlined for speed
