Men's Ultra HydroX Swimskin - Black

Meet The Next Generation of Speed: HydroX Swim Skin. Developed in collaboration with swimming innovators at FINIS, featuring a revolutionary fabric: HydroX. This cutting-edge material contributed to 11 medals this summer in Paris, cementing its status as the fabric of choice for the world's top swimmers.

HydroX works in harmony with your muscles while swimming. The threads of this proprietary MemoryFlex™ fabric are strategically positioned to optimize the natural expansion and contraction of muscles, providing consistent compression for peak performance. As a smart material, MemoryFlex™ returns to its original shape throughout the stroke cycle, enhancing flexibility and maintaining optimal compression.

 KEY FEATURES

• WATER REPELLANT - This lightweight hydrophobic fabric has an ultra-low drag coefficient which allows you to glide through the water faster.

• MAXIMIZE SWIM PERFORMANCE - The threads of this proprietary MemoryFlex™ fabric are strategically positioned to optimize the natural expansion and contraction of muscles, providing consistent compression for peak performance. As a smart material, MemoryFlex™ returns to its original shape throughout the stroke cycle, enhancing flexibility and maintaining optimal compression.

• MAXIMIZE MOBILITY – We have designed the Zoot Ultra HydroX Swimskin to be sleeveless to NOT restrict your natural swim stroke and provide maximum shoulder mobility.  Through our testing, the advantage of wearing a compressive hydrophobic textile over the shoulders does not outweigh the benefits of increased shoulder mobility that a sleeveless swimskin can provide.  If you are wearing a Zoot sleeved racesuit under your swimskin, we recommend wearing the sleeves out as this will not hinder your performance and improve your T1 transition time.  

• NO SEW CONSTRUCTION - Ultrasonic bonded seams create a smooth surface to reduce drag and maximize speed.

• QUICK TRANSITION – Easy on/off auto-locking zipper. Zip up and flip the zipper tab down to lock in place for your swim. Simply flip the zipper tab up to unlock and pull off.  

USAT & WTC LEGAL

•  IRONMAN (WTC) specifies a water temperature of 76.1F (24.5C) as the cutoff for wearing a wetsuit.
• USA Triathlon (USAT) specifies a water temperature of 78F (25.5C) as the cutoff for wearing a wetsuit.

Approved for USAT and WTC (IRONMAN) sanctioned events.

FIT TIPS

Swimskins are designed to be RACE FIT with integrated compression to maximize performance. We recommend buying the same size as your Zoot triathlon kit. It will feel tight at first but will relax once zipped up and in the water.

PRODUCT CARE & WASHING INSTRUCTIONS (Applies to wearable items)

Keep your gear performing at its peak. Whether it’s your race-day tri suit or your favorite cycling jersey, follow these guidelines to extend the life of your Zoot apparel.

 WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

·      Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle.

·      Do not bleach.

·      Tumble dry low or hang dry in the shade (preferred for longevity).

·      Do not dry clean.

·      Do not iron.

EXTRA CARE INFORMATION

·      Avoid fabric softeners: These can clog the fibers of moisture-wicking fabrics and reduce breathability.

·      Use mild detergent only: Harsh chemicals can break down the elasticity and technical coatings of the gear.

·      Close all fasteners: Ensure all zippers and Velcro tabs are closed before washing to prevent snagging on delicate mesh panels.

·      Rinse after saltwater or chlorine: If using for swimming, rinse immediately with fresh water to prevent fiber degradation.

·      Wash inside out: This protects the vibrant sublimated prints and heat-transfer logos from abrasion.
