THE VENDETTA- XTERRA WETSUITS once again introduced a groundbreaking new design when we first unveiled our Vendetta. Made from multiple thin, individually-cut panels, the Vendetta is contoured to the shape of an athlete’s body, allowing you to swim to your full potential. We use the newest Yamamoto #40 rubber and the slickest, lowest drag coefficient #40 neoprene and fully-coated by 100% Nano-SCS giving the slickest, lowest drag coefficient (0.02), all without compromising flexibility. This anatomical focus also helped us devise the use of XterrAir buoyancy Cells — tiny air pockets embedded throughout the front of the suit from neck to ankles allow for maximum buoyancy. And under it all is a new waterproof 8008 liner that doesn’t stick to your skin while you’re swimming.[1]

VECTOR PRO X2-XTERRA WETSUITS' famous Vector Pro X2 utilizes Yamamoto #39 rubber. It's perfect for both training and racing, or for those athletes who race every weekend. The entire front panel and hips are 5mm (from neck to ankles). With its super-low drag coefficient of 0.026 (100% Nano-SCS COATING) and fleX-Span Inner 6006 Liner for better buoyancy and flexibility, the Vector Pro X2 is the perfect package deal of flexibility and speed, making this one of the best suits on the planet, four years running.

VELOCITY 0.02- This suit is manufactured for use when a wetsuit isn’t legal. The Velocity 0.02 has the lowest drag coefficient on the market (0.02) by using wetsuit-grade Yamamoto Nano-SCS rubber coating. The suit also avoids frontal seams removing the drag that they can create. Just ask five of the top eight age-group swimmers at the 2007 Ironman World Championships™, including the first athlete overall out of the water. This suit has been approved by both USA Triathlon and FINA for use in competition.

VORTEX 2-XTERRA WETSUITS' most traditionally-designed suit is for athletes who want an all-around, all-purpose wetsuit to use while training and racing. While our other suits are designed solely for race-day speed, the Vortex 2 was created as an all-around training and racing suit for when you need a durable suit for all conditions. The front chest to ankle panel is all 5mm, and the remainder of the wetsuit has varying thickness for flexibility where needed.
