1. Hydro Gasket
Elastomer silicone creates a seal around the athlete's form, allowing maximum range of motion while preventing water entry at crucial fit areas: the neckline, armholes, and waist.
2. Zoned Tension
Areas of restricted stretch force the suit to ride against the athlete's body in critical fit areas like the sternum and lower back. This prevents the development of air and water pockets that result from poor fit. Zoned Tension technology allows us to fit the body very closely without the use of seams, which drag in the water and slow the athlete down.
3. Seam Alignments
Wherever possible, seams are aligned with the fluid flow to minimize drag.
4. Nike No Sew
Leg openings and ankle cuffs use a bonded elastic fabric that lies smoothly against the skin to minimize drag and maximize comfort.
