Athlex: accessibility and performance

An answer to every swimmer's needs

For triathletes in search of a balance between technology and accessibility, our Athlex wetsuit range represents the option of performance, no more, no less. Not all swimmers have the same needs, which is why different technologies have been prioritised in each model of the range so as to offer something for every profile: there’s the Athlex Flex, designed for those who prioritise freedom of movement; the Athlex Float, ideal for those who need extra buoyancy to improve their technique and stability; and the Athlex Flow, offering a balance between both features for a fully rounded performance in the water. 

Athlex Flex, strokes without restrictions

For more technical swimmers, such as those who have perfected their position in the water and strive for freedom in every movement, the Athlex Flex is the ideal suit. This model focuses on flexibility, allowing you to perform each stroke naturally and without resistance, optimising the efficiency of your swimming.

The use of Yamamoto 39 neoprene together with specific surface finishes gives us technologies such as 39FS and 39+, which are key for guaranteeing exceptional elasticity in the shoulders and torso, offering you a total range of movement. The Infinity Skin 2 inner lining, made from bamboo fibres, enhances the suit’s lightweight feel to an even greater degree, which reduces muscle fatigue and, as well as offering comfort and a soft to the touch finish, reduces bad odors. 

But flexibility isn’t everything. Designed to make transitions more practical, The Athlex Flex incorporates Hydrolite technology in the limbs, which helps you to take your suit off quickly during transition. Plus, the Ultimate Seal Collar minimises water entry in the neck, preventing discomfort and rubbing, while the YKK 10 zipper provides a secure and durable suit closure. 

For triathletes who rely on their natural buoyancy and want a suit that doesn’t restrict their movements, the Athlex Flex is the perfect option: a wetsuit that ensures every stroke is hassle-free, allowing you to glide through the water in total freedom.

Athlex Float, for greater confidence in the water

There are swimmers who seek stability and control in the water. In their case, the Athlex Float is the best choice. Designed to provide extra buoyancy, this suit helps you to maintain a more elevated and aligned position, reducing resistance and optimising your swim technique.

The secret behind this improved buoyancy is the use of Yamamoto 38 neoprene panels with 4.5mm thickness, a low density material that increases buoyancy in the lower half of the suit. Thanks to this, your legs and torso remain elevated, which prevents unnecessary wearing and allows the swimmer to concentrate on their stroke without worrying about maintaining a good posture. 

Despite being optimised for buoyancy, this model doesn’t leave comfort or mobility aside. In the upper half of the suit, Yamamoto 39 FS and 39+ offer enough elasticity so that your stroke is fluid and free from restrictions. The Ultimate Seal Collar prevents water entry and discomfort in the neck, while the Hydrolite system helps you to transition faster.

The Athlex Float is the ideal companion for those who seek greater confidence in the water, offering additional buoyancy that helps to improve technique and performance without you having to put extra effort in.

Athlex Flow, the balance

For those triathletes who’d rather not choose between buoyancy and flexibility, the Athlex Flow is the ideal alternative. This model strikes a balance between both features, providing slight body elevation without restricting upper body mobility.

In order to achieve this additional buoyancy that helps you maintain a hydrodynamic posture and save energy, this suit incorporates Aerodome technology in the lower body. This technology consists of small air pockets in the wetsuit that increase buoyancy by 30% more than the panels of an average wetsuit.

On top of this, the use of highly elastic Yamamoto 39 neoprene gives us technologies such as 39FS and 39+ in the shoulders and torso, which help you to keep up a fluid and natural stroke and ensure no loss of mobility or speed in the water. As if that weren’t enough, the Infinity Skin 2 inner lining, made from bamboo fibres, provides even more elasticity in the upper half of the suit, reducing muscle fatigue and helping you reach your full potential.

The Ultimate Seal Collar and Hydrolite treatment complete the design, minimising water entry and making your transition between disciplines easier. Additionally, the YKK 10 zipper guarantees durability and an optimum fit.

The Athlex Flow is designed for triathletes who seek a balanced performance, including support without rigidity and freedom without a loss of control. It’s the perfect option for those who need a versatile suit that’s capable of offering the best of both worlds.

The Athlex range demonstrates that you don’t have to sacrifice performance in order to get an accessible and functional suit. With its combination of innovative technologies and optimised design, these wetsuits allow triathletes to improve their performance in the water, regardless of their level of experience.

How to measure yourself

For best results, take your measurements with no clothing on

Place the measuring tape over the widest part of your chest.

Hold one end of the measuring tape in place and circle your chest, keeping the tape straight, until the tape reaches your starting point.

Get a book, a hand mirror and a pencil.

Take off your shoes and anything you wear on your head.

Look for a level surface to stand on with a smooth wall behind you.

Stand in front of the wall with your feet together.

Balance the book on your head and press it against the wall. Use the mirror to check that it is in a horizontal position and well centered. Mark the position of the top of your head on the wall with pencil.

Once the mark is made, step away and use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the ground to the mark you just made with pencil.

Step on the scale, without clothes or accessories, and write down your weight.
