Men's Viper X.3 Swimskin - Short Sleeve

THIS SWIMSKIN IS DESIGNED FOR:

Hydrodynamic advantage for athletes wearing a short-sleeved tri kit.

• Patented IXI™ internal streamline support connects your hips to your shoulders, helping you hold a tight body line and convert rotation into forward speed.
• Premium Italian stretch-woven hydrophobic textile repels water and reduces surface drag.
• Elbow-length sleeves deliver maximum coverage—and maximum drag reduction—especially for athletes racing in sleeved tri kits, while patented ARMS-UP™ construction ensures shoulder mobility.

WHAT'S A SWIMSKIN? AND WHEN TO HAVE ONE.

Swimskins are used in warm water races (above 76.1°F / 24.5°C) when wetsuits aren’t legal. They reduce drag by covering your tri kit with a slick, hydrophobic layer—and will save you several minutes in the water.

Because race-day water temps can swing by a few degrees, it’s smart to pack a swimskin for any race where water is expected to be over 70°F / 21°C.
