SCS: This special coating on the neoprene reduces friction and helps you boost your speed. The micro-cellular structure repels water and allows more freedom for your forward movements.
ZERO CHAFING: The lining in the neck area reduces friction and so you suffer less from chafing. The material is soft to the touch and better for contact with the skin.
BUOYANCY: The RS1 Openwater suit is designed to provide the thermal insulation and extra buoyancy you need, without affecting your natural position in the water.
FLEXIBILITY: The 2mm Yamamoto panels, with 39-cell SCS lining on the forearms, shoulders and arms, combined with a flexible liner, help you keep your mobility and even improve your flexibility.
SPEED: Yamamoto's Hydrolite 39-cell panels, used in the lower legs of the suit, let you speed up your transitions if you want to use the RS1 Openwater Sleeveless to compete in a triathlon. Removing this wetsuit is now easier than ever.
