De Soto Men's Liftfoil Tri Speedsuit

This speedsuit is also a trisuit! Save time swimming in non-wetsuit races and save even more time not having to remove it in transition. The new UTB™ (Ultra Thin Buoyant) tri-pad offers floatation during the swim, padding on the bike and is unnoticeable on the run. Made of De Soto’s very own Liftfoil™ Skin fabric, the Liftfoil has no pockets and no lining. It is designed to help you swim faster during non-wetsuit swims. De Soto is the first company to make a men’s speedsuit with a front zipper (16-inch YKK® zipper) that offers less drag than speedsuits with zippers in back. Hydrolinear™ seamlines hug your body while allowing for maximum reach and glide in your stroke, with no friction against your skin.

·          Liftfoil™ Skin - At speeds below 5 mph (8 kph) the best surface to flow though water is a smooth surface like Liftfoil. Liftfoil is a hydrodynamic fabric designed to be worn very tight. When stretched on a moving body, Liftfoil becomes thinner, so it absorbs less water. Because it compresses against the skin, it reduces passive drag, and acts as a foil to lift the body at the water surface.
