Pinnacle Swimskin – Men’s

THE PURSUIT FOR THE FASTEST NON-WETSUIT SWIM

Pinnacle is a strong word, denoting the ultimate, the best, and a level that cannot be bettered. Attaching this to a swimskin is bold, but it represents a balance of the needs of many athletes and presents an all-round solution to the modern triathlete’s challenges in ‘swimming faster’.

The Pinnacle Swimskin isn’t your normal swimskin. It is HUUB researched and a scientifically developed piece of swim engineering. Developed with the sport’s most successful long course swimmer, Andy Potts, and our exclusive 17 force plate M.A.D™ (Measurement of Active Drag) system. Andy asked if we could work with him on a wetsuit and swimskin that met the needs of front-pack swimming, and with our research and Andy’s fine-tuning, we’re sure this is the fastest swimskin out there.

The suit features high compression, especially around the core. We applied a selection of hydrophobic fabrics, which performed by being tight in the right places and shifting the centre of buoyancy. If you’re doing that, lowering surface drag and decreasing the cross-section of your body, you swim faster. By doing this, we can reduce wasted energy and improve stroke efficiency to the tune of up to 4.5 seconds per 100m. Like a wetsuit, the gains are more significant the less elite you are. The elites will gain considerable time per 100m, but middle-of-the-pack swimmers will enjoy even more substantial time savings.

Core Control™ & Stability:

Stability is a core tenant of proper swim position. By providing stability, the Pinnacle swimskin helps reduce fatigue due to vibration. Our technology and design use every stroke to help you propel forward and transfer energy from core stabilisation to forward movement. All of this adds to a more effective catch, keeps you in a straight and tight swimming position, and ultimately makes you faster while using less energy.

Key Features:

• An exclusive collaboration design with Andy Potts.
• Core Control™ system.
• Specially selected hydrophobic fabrics.
• Contoured compression to shape buoyancy profiles.
• Camlock zipper provides a fast transition.
