MEN'S VIPER X2 SWIMSKIN
Meet the reimagined, better-than-ever Viper X2 Swimskin, and wave goodbye to drag.
We weren’t satisfied with just creating the fastest, most popular swimskin on the planet, so we went back to the drawing board and upped our game. The result is the Viper X2, a swimskin that keeps everything you loved about the original—our patented IXI taping, silicone leg grippers, and premium performance fabrics—and adds a new compression zone in the lower back that provides improved core support, promotes better posture and reduces drag by eliminating bubbling of the fabric in the small of your back.
The Viper X2 Swimskin is USAT and IRONMAN legal and continues to utilize two varieties of the same premium stretch-woven textile from Italy, a hydrophobic Teflon® coating, high-tech bonded seam construction with novel hidden stitch reinforcement and a low-profile autolocking YKK zipper. It is strategically designed with a pattern and panel layout that liberates your arms while providing support where you need it. All of these little details add up to free speed on race day. For the ultimate in swimskin performance, the ROKA Viper X2 promises unmatched support, technology and comfort.

FIT TIPS
- Swimskins should fit snugly but comfortably without inhibiting your breathing or arm movement. Fit may feel different while swimming vs. on land, so make sure to try the suit in the water. They are meant to have a tight, compression fit, like a competition pool swimming suit.
- Note that swimskins are meant to be worn on top of a race top/bottom or race suit only for the swim portion of the race. They are very specific, high performance garments not meant to be worn alone like traditional swimwear and the suits can be see-through under certain light or when wet. Undergarments such as a tri kit or swimsuit are strongly advised.
- Your race kit will affect the fit slightly, so please be sure to try them on and swim in them with your race kit or another suit underneath.
