HUUB - Archimedes II 3:5 Triathlon Wetsuit - One Hire - Ex Rental

HUUB - Archimedes II 3:5 Triathlon Wetsuit - Ex Rental 

Created and developed with the latest technology to expertly deliver buoyancy and flexibility when needed.

Our Ex Rental Wetsuits are classified into 2 Categories:

1. A hire suit that has come back in near perfect condition with minimal signs of previous use.
2. A hire suit that has come back from rental with a small amount of damage such as a nail mark on the neoprene, which has been fixed with neoprene glue.

 We pride ourselves on supplying great quality ex-rental suits. Therefore we will not sell wetsuits with any major integral damage that effects the performance of the suit. 

The Product:

The Archimedes II has been developed in a laboratory, where the technologies of the original Archimedes were developed and furthered and any faults ironed out. The primary focus was to improve the flexibility and to design a suit that felt as natural as possible. These aims have led to a more efficient suit; one that allows the wearer to exert less energy to perform the same activities, and one that helps rather than hinders the swimmer’s speed and stroke.

The suit’s side, back and shoulder panels have been reduced by 25% to improve the range of motion you are able to achieve whilst wearing the suit, and the underarm has been formed with an ultra-stretchy, ultra-fine material in order to improve flexibility and reach.

HUUB is the only company that measures the drag created by a swimmer when they are actually swimming – rather than being pulled – in order to create a suit which accurately reduces drag. The calf area has been thinned out to less than 1mm, in order to create a natural feeling kick and reduce the risk of cramp and injury.

The collar is distinctively low, yet highly comfortable, with no stitches, folds or zips to irritate your neck.

Key Features:

• 3:5 ­– this describes the ratio of the buoyancy.  This ratio is designed for those who need more lift in the legs and hips than the arms and shoulders. This buoyancy ratio will help to maintain your body's posture in the water, and thus reduce fatigue as your core will be relieved from a lot of work as it attempts to keep your hips high in the water.  

• X-O SKELETON – the X-O Skeleton does a similar job to our skeleton within the body: it keeps everything in the right place. The X-O Skeleton gives the suit a durable structure, to reduce energy wastage as your hips and pelvis will move less (requiring less exertion to correct) and thus making you faster and reducing fatigue.

• ULTRA FLEXIBLE – the suit’s underarms are formed from a highly stretch material to allow you the most natural stroke possible, the back and shoulders are just 1mm thick and the calf section is under 1mm thick to give you complete freedom of movement in the water.

• ANTI-DRAG – HUUB have measured drag in a distinctive way, they have not used a system to pull the suit through the water, but rather measured it when it is being worn and, most importantly, swum in. This gives them an edge when it comes to accuracy and ironing out small but potentially significant issues when it comes to making the suit as aqua-dynamic as possible.

• CALF/BICEP RELEASE – these have both been adapted to improve kick, pull and flex. By increasing the volume but reducing the thickness of  the calf area with a high stretch material, HUUB have ensured the most natural and unrestricted kick possible which will not only speed you up but also reduces your risk of cramp.
