Viper Swimskins
VIPER SWIMSKINS
Cutting-Edge Tech, Race Proven Performance
As with the Maverick Pro wetsuit, we put everything we know and love into our Viper swimskins. We built the Viper from the ground up and leveraged our experience as elite swimmers to deliver the ultimate swimskin — no compromises. We focused on every detail, from the world's fastest materials and hi-tech, bonded seam panel construction to low profile zippers and hidden stitch reinforcement. These details add up to free speed on race day. Pro and age group athletes wearing our Viper swimskins have had many First Out of the Water finishes — both in the professional and age group ranks. All of our swimskins are USAT and WTC legal, except for the Pro Long, which is not legal for WTC events.
This suit was First Out of the Water at the 2013 & 2014 Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona. In 2015, our Viper swimskins were the most popular swimskins overall in Kona, with nearly 25% of the field wearing them. If you are racing a non-wetsuit swim, you need this suit.
