Designed for distance and multi-eventers, the next evolution of the LZR Valor racing suit is here.The Speedo LZR Valor 2.0 suits have been developed for strong kicks, long distances and fast finishes.Focused on maximum flexibility, it promotes a greater range of motion and core stability through specially layered fabric for better performance at every race. The new Speedo Fastskin LZR Pure Valor 2.0 kneeskin offers the ultimate water repellency, with a new hydrophobic coating technology engineered by Lamoral Space Tech.Lamoral coating is a breakthrough technology for racing swimsuits, it's unique in the way that the coating remains "active" for much longer than other solutions.But how does it work? The creators of the technology use this analogy:"It's a chemical thing." Imagine our coating as a forest. We put a forest of trees on the textile. The leaves of the trees are water-repellent. A polymer is a chain of monomers and what you then see is that the higher the forest and the more foliage that's on the trees, the more water-repellent the coating is. What we do: We've optimized the roots of the coatings so that when you wash the trees, they don't fall over and wash off. The trees stay upright with the water-repellent leaves facing up. With other coatings, the trees fall over and the leaves no longer face upwards but next to the stump. And water and rain pass through the fabric. In our coating, the morphology of water-repellent groups remains more or less the same." - Joris van Tongerloo (Business Developer, Lamoral Coatings)This Speedo Kneeskin delivers the performance you need again and again, with a proven suit construction and fit to make you feel unstoppable in every race. The Speedo Fastskin LZR Pure Valor 2.0 Kneeskins are made from lightweight material and feature moderate compression and construction designed to support a greater range of movement. Dual-layering around the abs offers greater core stability so you get the best out of your swim.The compressive inner leg seam is designed for greater muscle support so you get the best out of your swim.The open back offers freedom of movement and may be preferred by swimmers with arched backsFeatures:6x more water repellent - than previous Valor tech suits.Moderate Compression - designed to support a greater range of movement.Compressive Inner Leg Seam - designed for greater muscle support.Lightweight material - with classic LZR construction.Increased dual layering around abs for greater core stability.Flat bonded seams and improved finishes for optimal hydrodynamics.This product has been fully approved by FINA.
