BLUE SEVENTY PointZero 3 Plus Sleeveless Swimskin

Why the pointzero3The pointzero3 is the product of thinking about getting the best out of non-wetsuit legal swims. Like the blueseventy Helix wetsuit, the super slick surface layer on the pointzero3 has a drag coefficient of 0.032 which is over 50 times lower than skin and more than 4 times lower than other swim skins on the market. The fit and styling have been developed from the worlds fastest triathlon wetsuit, the blueseventys Helix, and features the double hoop of high stretch materials, that forms the helix shape after which the suit is named. This extra-stretchy band of lycra, in the pointzero3, works to mechanically decouple the arms from the rest of the suit. When you stretch into the stroke you are normally pulling against the non flexible material of the suit, but in the pointzero3 the lycra bands work to “float” the arm so it does not have to work against resistance. Like the Helix, the pointzero3 seamlines have been made for swimming, not running like most other wetsuit brands.Fold over soft stitching in shoulder panels reduces chafing SCS fabric reduces the surface co-efficient. The result is a massive reduction in the swimmers friction drag, and a 3-5% reduction in swim times. Longer leg paneling that produces more skin cover and reduces drag even further Quick Exit Leg panels that make getting out of the suit timeless Behind the phenomenal results in 2006 and 2007 of the pointzero3, this swimskin is a combination of the latest technologically enhanced materials and hours of work with athletes developing a fit that improves and compliments all facets of the swim stroke. The neutrally buoyant fabric is a careful integration of stretch lycra and precision manufacturing, enabling the pointzero3 to be the fastest swimskin ever made.
