The Athlex Flex V2 wetsuit, made with Yamamoto neoprene, offers a combination of high elasticity and medium buoyancy for swimmers who can naturally maintain the correct position in the water.
The low thickness materials in the upper torso and the medium thickness materials in the legs result in a wetsuit that provides you with maximum freedom. Plus, the new Athlex Flex V2 is even more flexible in the upper torso, as the graphics in the shoulder area have been removed.
Enjoy the comfort provided by our Fabric Gloves, which are included when you buy an Athlex Flex V2, which allows you to put your wetsuit on without damaging the material.
Characteristics
Neutral Buoyancy
If you’ve mastered your swimming technique and you’re an experienced swimmer, this wetsuit’s neutral buoyancy will allow you to maintain a natural position in the water that will help you to maximise your potential.
High elasticity
With the Athlex Flex V2 you will be able to swim without restrictions and with total freedom of movement at your next triathlon. Thanks to the highly elastic materials used in the shoulders, arms and back, the wetsuit provides a high degree of flexibility in the upper torso. Plus, as there are no longer graphics in the shoulder area of the suit, it’s more elastic, meaning you’ll be able to carry out your stroke with even more freedom.
Hydrodynamics
The SCS treatment applied to the materials used to create this wetsuit improves hydrodynamics, helping you gain speed in the water and perform at your best in the swim stage of your next triathlon race.
Quick Transition
The use of highly hydrophobic materials allows you to take your suit off quickly, saving you seconds during the transition of your next triathlon competition.
Composition:
Neoprene : 95 %, Polyamide (Nylon) : 5 %
Care Instructions for Longer Durability
Cleaning
Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.
Storage
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.
The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped over a hanger from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any kind of tension on them.
For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders (Apex Flex or Apex Flow), it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.
Recommendations for use
1) If your suit has Velcro, avoid contact between the Velcro and the inner lining of the wetsuit, as it will damage the fibers in the material. Keep the Velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure that the Velcro is closed, so that the rough part of the Velcro does not damage the inside of your suit.
2) For all suits, especially those made with neoprene, be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your nails when putting on or taking off the suit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.
3) Triathlon and open water suits have been designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee correct functioning of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from use in activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.
4) Avoid leaning on or coming into contact with any surfaces (especially rough ones) while wearing your wetsuit.
