Athlex Float V2 Women Triathlon Wetsuit

Buoyancy

The Athlex Float V2’s distribution of thicknesses, with 4.5mm neoprene in the legs, maximizes its buoyancy. This enables you to maintain a horizontal, elevated position in the water for longer so that your swimming technique isn’t affected, and you can give it your all at your next triathlon competition.

High elasticity

The materials incorporated into the shoulders, arms, and back provide this wetsuit with a high degree of elasticity in the upper torso area. This means you’ll be able to swim without restrictions and enjoy total freedom with every stroke. In addition, without the shoulder graphics, this area of the suit is more flexible, meaning you will be able to carry out each stroke with greater freedom.

Hydrodynamics

Thanks to the SCS treatment we apply to the materials used to make the wetsuit, you'll be able to increase your speed and improve your hydrodynamics at both your training sessions and competitions.

Quick transition

The use of highly hydrophobic materials allows you to take your suit off quickly, saving you seconds during the transition of your next triathlon competition.

Composition:

Neoprene : 95 %, Polyamide (Nylon) : 5 %

Cleaning

Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.

Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.

Storage

Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.

The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped over a hanger from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any kind of tension on them.

For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders (Apex Flex or Apex Flow), it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.

Recommendations for use

1) If your suit has Velcro, avoid contact between the Velcro and the inner lining of the wetsuit, as it will damage the fibers in the material. Keep the Velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure that the Velcro is closed, so that the rough part of the Velcro does not damage the inside of your suit.

2) For all suits, especially those made with neoprene, be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your nails when putting on or taking off the suit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.

3) Triathlon and open water suits have been designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee correct functioning of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from use in activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.

4) Avoid leaning on or coming into contact with any surfaces (especially rough ones) while wearing your wetsuit.
