2XU V2 Wetsuit Features:

BODY/CHEST: Velocity Strakes channelStrakesfor greater water stability and less sideways movement and cleaner water flow for more speed through the water.
Optimizing the maximum 5mm thickness allowed under the International Federation Rules, and incorporating 39 cell rubber - the most buoyant on the market. Maximum buoyancy means less body in the water  and a faster overall speed through the water.
The V2 wetsuit utilises Nano SCS givingNano wetsuit an extra 4% in buoyancy over standard SCS. Less friction = more speed.
Optimum chest/hip buoyancy balance via the front panel cut, thus taking maximum advantage of efficient technique.
The hydrodynamic flow over the front of the wetsuit is interrupted by seams, so 2XU have a one piece design from the neck to the knee to reduce drag and increase speed through the water.

ROLLBAR: The Rollbar improveRollbaruoyancy in the core of the wetsuit. Delivering better body position during the roll.  This ultimately maintains higher body position (speed in water) and derives power from better positioned hips. 

UNDERARM/LATERAL PANEL: Utilising new generation 1.5mm 40 cell neoprene the most flexible available on the planet. Providing optimal flexibility for shoulder and arm movement, releasing the swimming stroke action.
520% Stretch Neoprene with 4 way stretch, complemented by the highly flexible hollow polyester fiber lining
 maintain flexibility and reduces weight. 2XU polyester lining is 4% more flexible than the nylon alternatives.

The comfortable inner lining does not reduce the flexibility of the outer neoprene skin, so your energy can be focused on swimming and not wasted working against restriction. Secondly the polyester is hydrophobic and repels water, reducing weight down the arms by absorbing 70% less water than nylon.
The advanced material and construction of the 2XU underarm panel delivers maximum flexibility to enable the greatest range of arm movement.

LEGS: New and exclusive to 2XU are the Propulsion panels, establishing a greater frontal region due to internal neoprene strips, along with 2xu's propriety Strakesxu'sck.
Strakes The upper leg region (of seamless front panel) have the most buoyant neoprene available - Nano SCS 5mm 39 cell neoprene.
The lower legNanove a reduced 3mm panel structure to help with the run out the water and fast wetsuit removal.
Quick Release leg cut for faster suit removal.

BACK PANELS (MAIN LATERAL AND LOWER BACK): 2XU have not underestimated the importance of the back panel structure which is strong enough to contain the rigid zip, withstanding constant use, and more importantly flexible enough to interact with the underarm panel, and allow the zip to float with body movement. This is achieved by the one piece floating zip panel, no seams so less restriction.

The floating zip back panel enhances flexibility of our back panel which allows the zip to move in partnership with the body, allowing the wetsuit to stretch along your back and shoulder.
The 2XU floating back panel also contributes to better expansion of the chest cavity, therefore reducing restriction to the breathing motion.

This is complemented by the hyper flexible 1.5mm underarm panel and 3mm back panels to promote core expansion and breathing.

SEAT AND CROTCH PANELS: These two panels are all about maximising buoyancy and optimal fitting shape so water does not gather in this region. Using materials which hold, support and compress the muscles in the buttock and higher leg reduces fatigue and allows the muscle to be primed for greater power output.
Crotch panel also utilizes slightly thinner thickness to enhance the run out of the water without sacrificing the suits buoyancy.

SHOULDER (AND EXTERIOR ARM) PANEL: Utilizing hyper flexible yet buoyant 1.5mm 40 cell rubber with hydrophobic Polyester backing, the 2XU shoulder panel absorbs less water when the suit is submerged, with maximum stretch.

LOWER ARM: Industry first Aquatic Membrane - with neutral buoyancy, you will feel the water like never before in a wetsuit. Less energy is expended as you no longer have to push against the buoyancy of the neoprene in the catch phase of the stroke.
Upper arm buoyancy and lower arm neutral buoyancy result in a higher elbow position which for an improved catch.
CWEZ: Concave Water Entrapment Zone, industry first catch panel strips, maximizing feel of the water with extra water entrapment area, supplying more distance per stroke.

NECK PANEL: Exclusive to 2XU, the lowered seam, helps minimise friction and increase hydrodynamic features of the suit. The most comfortable neck on the market.
Neck with an adjustable fastening collar system, allowing you to personalize the fit and maintain the balance between water intake and chaffing.
Seamless front construction so less drag and only one seam on the inside means less risk of chafing.

INVISIBLE ZIP: The 2XU zip is manufactured from reliable light and strong material, positioned behind back panel lapels to reduce water intake and streamlined for speed.
