Pinnacle Swim Skin
Pinnacle is a strong word, denoting the ultimate, the best, and a level that cannot be bettered. Attaching this to a swimskin is bold, but it represents a balance of the needs of many athletes and presents an all-round solution to the modern triathlete's challenges in 'swimming faster'.
The Pinnacle Swimskin isn't your normal swimskin. It is HUUB researched and a scientifically developed piece of swim engineering. Developed with the sport's most successful long course swimmer, Andy Potts, and our exclusive 17 force plate M.A.D™ (Measurement of Active Drag) system. Andy asked if we could work with him on a wetsuit and swimskin that met the needs of front-pack swimming, and with our research and Andy's fine-tuning, we're sure this is the fastest swimskin out there.
The suit features high compression, especially around the core. We applied a selection of hydrophobic fabrics, which performed by being tight in the right places and shifting the centre of buoyancy. If you're doing that, lowering surface drag and decreasing the cross-section of your body, you swim faster. By doing this, we can reduce wasted energy and improve stroke efficiency to the tune of up to 4.5 seconds per 100m. Like a wetsuit, the gains are more significant the less elite you are. The elites will gain considerable time per 100m, but middle-of-the-pack swimmers will enjoy even more substantial time savings.
Stability is a core tenant of proper swim position. By providing stability, the Pinnacle swimskin helps reduce fatigue due to vibration. Our technology and design use every stroke to help you propel forward and transfer energy from core stabilisation to forward movement. All of this adds to a more effective catch, keeps you in a straight and tight swimming position, and ultimately makes you faster while using less energy.
The new ANEMOI 2 represents a paradigm shift in how you choose your race day clothing. We have researched, more than any other triathlon clothing company, the comfort and aero gains to be had by choosing the correct fabrics.
Every fabric we have tested has an optimal performance, when its role is to make you faster. We extensively researched each fabrics “Drag Crisis” (Drag Crisis - also known as the Eiffel paradox, is a phenomenon in which drag coefficient drops off suddenly as Reynolds number increases).
Each fabric performs differently and has speed gains at its own unique velocity. It is this knowledge, gathered from our three year fabric research and matrix building, that gave us the two optimal fabrics for the speeds typically seen in triathlon. All of our suits deliver an aerodynamic gain, but for the first time the Anemoi 2 allows you to choose which suit for which event, your pace and also event distance. It’s our extensive aerodynamic partnerships that allow us to bring you the finest off-the-shelf triathlon wear on the market today.
HUUB - IT DOESN’T GET ANY FASTER!
So for the latest Anemoi 2 we are now able to offer two variations:
SUB22 and 22PLUS
For each suit we have selected the optimal fabric for the differing speed ranges, meaning you have the quickest suit for your race speed, not somebody else’s.
SUB22 - Optimal aerodynamics at speeds under 22mph
22PLUS - Optimal aerodynamics at speeds over 22mph
FULLY BONDED SEAMS SAVE AN EXTRA 4 WATTS OVER THE STANDARD ANEMOI
The Anemoi project has resulted in proven aerodynamic and effective time-saving products. The Anemoi 2 is an incredibly fast suit, but this is only one development of a long-term project. We will keep digging into the interesting world of cycling aerodynamics, utilising what we find, to progress our development and continually bring faster products to you.
THE WORLD’S FASTEST TRI SUIT - NOW FASTER FOR YOUR SPEED
The Anemoi 2 features fully bonded seams for improved wind cheating performance. Designed, enhanced and tested with aerodynamics experts Wattshop and their extensive knowledge of aerodynamics and cycling to understand what makes a triathlete faster.
Utilising our world-class local Derby Arena velodrome and the Sports engineering Hub wind tunnel in Northampton, we used a highly refined, bespoke aerodynamic test system, testing the Anemoi II on a broad range of athletes. In our trials, an average saving of 4 watts was found compared to the standard Anemoi Tri Suit, thanks to the fully bonded seams.
