Choosing the Best Tech Suit

Are you looking to step up your game in the water? If so, you NEED to check out what a tech suit can do for you! These suits are designed to help you swim faster to beat the competition. Here’s how:

Fabric

Tech suits are typically made with a combination of polyester, nylon, spandex, and LYCRA. These allow the suit to easily conform to your body. Some suits are even made out of fabric that is water repellant. Yes, water repellant! This may seem too good to be true, but it’s not. These fabrics basically scare the water away, which works in your favor, reducing any drag.

Seams

When thinking about tech suits, imagine it being another layer of skin. It needs to conform to the body, so you are able to trudge through the water as fast and as effortlessly as possible. Seams can get in the way of that! Tech Suit-makers use flat stitching which keeps the seams and suit close to the body which again, helps reduce water resistance.

Compression

The compression that tech suits offer is a huge advantage! As you may infer by the name, compression fabrics compress everything together – which can reduce drag. Compression can also increase circulation, aid blood flow, and help your alignment. Compression can be a huge factor for women, not so much for men due to their smaller suits.

Price

Have you heard of the phrase, “you get what you pay for?” This also works for Tech Suits. Costing a significant amount more than regular suits, these can cost in the upward range of $500. Luckily, The Lifeguard Store has all the latest Tech Suits for less! For women, we have suits like the TYR Tracer Light and the Arena Carbon Pro. Men can choose from suits like Speedo Fastskin or the TYR Fusion Male Jammer.

Don’t put off buying a Tech Suit any longer!
