Women's Viper X.3 Ghost Swimskin - Short Sleeve

THIS SWIMSKIN IS DESIGNED FOR:

Our fastest swimskin, period. With particular gains for athletes wearing a short-sleeved tri kit.

The Viper X.3 Ghost is engineered for pure speed, minimizing both surface and form drag. Built on our proven X.3 platform, this next-gen swimskin introduces a new era of hydrodynamic performance with advanced hydrophobic materials—in a color that's easy to spot and keeps you cooler in intense sun.

• Patented IXI™ internal streamline support connects your core from shoulders to hips, locking you into a streamlined position.
• Patented ARMS-UP™ technology delivers sleeveless-like shoulder freedom in a short sleeve suit.
• Our fastest material ever repels water on contact, maintaining ultra-low drag from start to finish.
• Seamless, laser-bonded construction delivers a second-skin feel that vanishes in motion.

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 an ultra fast, 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.
