The 7th version of the Women's HELIX is hands down the best yet. We’ve maintained the legendary fit and feel that defines the HELIX while improving the paneling to encourage natural rotation and increase distance per stroke without increasing effort. Premium Yamamoto neoprene and liner materials combined with cutting edge design means the best just got even better.
Our women's models are more than just the men's suit in a different color. We prioritize fit, to make sure that patterns are adjusted for women's body style and offer expanded, specific sizing to accommodate varying body styles across all athletes.
Features:
- VO2 Natural Rotation Chest
- Slim, extremely buoyant, 5mm Yamamoto Aerodome centerline panels are split by a thinner 3mm panel for increased ease of breathing. These buoyant centerline panels are bordered by less buoyant side panels that stretch down to the hip in order to improve your natural rotation to achieve maximum efficiency for the highest performance.
- Fork: Hi-ten steel unicrown, straight/tapered leg
- Maximum Allowed Buoyancy
- 5mm Yamamoto Aerodome panels flow from the chest down to the hips and quads to provide the maximum buoyancy where its most needed. In addition, 4mm neoprene in the lower legs keeps you in a streamlined swimming position.
- Ultra Thin Arms
- Premium, ultra-thin, 1.5mm Yamamoto 40 cell neoprene in the arms provides flexibility, comfort, and speed.
- Torsional Stretch Technology
- 1.5mm Yamamoto 40 cell neoprene throughout the seamless shoulders and in the under arms for complete freedom of movement throughout your entire stroke.
- Distance Per Stroke
- Expanded 1.5mm neoprene across the back improves flexibility and reach to maximize your distance per stroke.
- Reverse Zipper
- Removes the bulky zipper head from behind your neck, for a lower, more comfortable collar.
- Aquafeel Catch Panels
- Catch panels made from a permeable fabric that improve the feel for the water.
- Premium Materials
- The highest quality Yamamoto smooth skin neoprene is paired with 100% nylon, ultra-stretch jersey lining to create a suit that is lighter and stretchier than the competition.
- L.I.F.T. Panels
- Layered Insulation Foam Technology: buoyant panels of NBR foam on the back of the legs adds more lift than just neoprene to counteract sinking legs.
- Body Fit Panels
- Gender specific contours and thinner, more flexible 3mm side panels have less buoyancy, allowing natural hip rotation and easier suit removal.
- Premium Materials
- 2mm thick ribbed panels at the back of the knee reduce bunching and improve running comfort into T1.
- Quick Exit Legs
- 1.5mm thin and flexible lower leg panels begin at the knee and flare out at the ankle making it easy to remove the suit in T1.
