+ Description
The Speedtube™ was invented by Emilio De Soto in 2004. While he loved the
benefits of swimming faster in a full wetsuit, he felt too warm and
claustrophobic. After careful research and testing on how to achieve wetsuit
buoyancy without losing speed, the Speedtube was born. The Speedtube floats the
hips without sacrificing torso rotation and the natural stroke motion,
resulting in better swimming technique. Perfect for racing, training or a
replacement for your swim buoy. The Speedtube and all individual T1 Wetsuit
pieces are completely legal under the rules set by ITU, WTC, USAT and all other
governing bodies. It can only be worn in races that permit wetsuits. The
two-piece design of the T1 Wetsuits offers more comfort and less restriction.
Because the top and bottom are not attached, you have much more freedom of
movement and there is no “torso-rubber stretch” or shoulder fatigue that occurs
with one-piece wetsuits. All T1 models are sold as separates for a more
customized and personal fit. With up to seven sizes of tops and bottoms, you
have 49 possible size combinations from which to choose. Other features we
innovated many years ago include lower necklines and thicker rubber in the legs
and hips to help float the largest bones and muscles in the body. More
floatation here means more speed. T1 Wetsuits are not filled with gimmicks,
just physics. New Features: Less-toxic bonding agent for people with skin
sensitivities Favorite Features Remain: 5-panel contour design for an
exceptional fit Seams are glued and blind-stitched, making them more durable
than the rubber itself 5mm GreenGoma™ #8 Rubber with Super Composite Skin for
maximum buoyancy without compromising speed Shin cut high for easy fitting and
removal Heavy duty drawstring waist allows adjustability Lined with 4-Way
stretch Nylon Lycra® for comfort and to minimize chafing Can be worn alone or
with any First Wave or Black Pearl Pullovers and Vests Sleek graphics, no
gimmicks Sold as separates for a truly customized fit Chlorine resistant
treatment, but not recommend for repeated use in chlorinated water Made for
swimmers and triathletes who: have a weak kick and want maximum hip flotation
overheat easily in other wetsuits PLEASE BE AWARE: we created this bottom to
avoid overheating in races where the water is warmer than 68 degrees. This is
due to the water entering between the top and the bottom at the waist. It does
not cause any drag (if the drawcord is tightened) so you do not swim any
slower. So if you are looking for maximum warmth we recommend the Bibjohn. If
you are comfortable in cooler waters the Speedtube is amazing. Whether you like
to swim for exercise or are on the swim course of a Triathlon, T1 Wetsuits
offer you speed, comfort and buoyancy that will make swimming pure pleasure!
