Adidas offers ‘fastest swimsuit yet’
11/12/2015
The suit's fabric, bands and compressive fit work together to support the swimmer's movement. The tape material offers 100% recovery, ensuring the swimmer's expended energy is returned to optimise subsequent movements, said adidas.
The lightweight construction and texturing of the fabric, the result of wind tunnel testing, pushes water more smoothly over the swimmer's body and custom stroke-specific moderations can ensure a precision fit for individual swimmers.
"Elite swimmers know that to create their best race, every millisecond counts. Correct body positioning, water flow and a smooth aerodynamic fit all combine to make the difference between a medal on the world's stage and disappointment,” said Deborah Yeomans, Director Future for adidas. "With the adizero XVI we have deconstructed the swimsuit status quo and rebuilt it to optimise the natural movement of the human body. We look forward to seeing the swimsuit propel our athletes onto the podium this summer.”
The suit will be on sale from February 2016.
