blueseventy releases pz3TX: leading edge textile swimskin

by Trifuel on September 4, 2010

blueseventy today announced the details of it’s eagerly anticipated pz3tx swimskin, which will be legal for all WTC, USAT events, under the new Sep 1 rulings.

“Since the announcement that the rules would change earlier this year, our product design team have been hard at work to develop a fully textile swimskin that maximizes swim performance. Our PZ3TX combines the technology in our pool race suits, used by the fastest swimmers in the world, and integrates it with the fastest swimskin in triathlon the pointzero3” announced marketing manager Dean Jackson.

Most of the top athletes in the world chosen to wear the pointzero3 since it’s 2006 inception, and with the PZ3TX, Jackson sees nothing changing. Among others, some of the athletes wearing the new swimming will be champion athletes Luke Mackenzie, Rasmus Henning, Dirk Bockel, Leanda Cave, and triathlons number one pro team, Team Bike Boutique.

CEO and Head of Product Steve Nicholls is particularly excited about the product. “With three triathlon clothing lines, a textile Racing line in the pool and a swimwear race line we were already immersed in textile development, and had several prototypes in testing prior to the change of rules announcement by WTC. Essentially it just came down to tweaking a few different aspect of the suit until we were happy with the final aquatic drag profile that was being achieved in our testing. The initial feedback has been great, most of the testing we’ve done has seen 1-3 seconds/ 100m savings for top pro swimmers, targeting a sub 54 min swim, which is the difference between front pack and also ran.

We feel many of the athletes have been affected by a rule change out of their hands, we would like to thank those athletes for they continued support and patience over these changes. Numbers are very limited and early ordering is advised. MSRP $295
