BLUESEVENTY HELIX Long-Sleeved Skinsuit Black/Blue 2020

The sixth incarnation of the new Helix is simply blueseventy´s finest suit ever. Built using all new LIFT technology this suit puts any swimmer in an efficient downhill swimming position.  In addition to this cutting edge technology, the thick 5 mm Yamamoto Aerodome core structure, gender specific side panels, proprietary TST panels, quick exit legs and the iconic reverse zipper work together to create the most flexible and comfortable suit possible. Athletes will be blown away by the natural swim rotation, balanced body position, and insane upper body flex. A true second skin and lightning fast through T1. 

Aqua Feel
Ultra light catch panels made with the same hydrophobic textile fabric used in blueseventy´s swimskins. These minimalistic forearm panels increase awareness of arm position in the water, encouraging better technique and more power.

Fit Panels
Body mapped, gender specific 3 mm Fit Panels contoured for an improved fit on land and excellent rotation in the water.

Buoyancy +
The Helix is built on a 5-5-4 pattern, centralizing core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the body. The chest and torso panels utilize super buoyant 5 mm Yamamoto Aerodome to keep the hips high and promote an efficient downhill swimming position.

Layered Insulation Foam Technology (LIFT)
The new Helix benefits from extra lift at the back legs from ultra buoyant NBR foam sandwiched between premium Yamamoto rubber and jersey liner. This panel technology allows blueseventy to strategically place high buoyancy sections at the back legs, lifting the suit up in the water.

Reverse Zipper
Friction free neck design with lower profile and more sighting freedom than any other suit.

Torsional Stretch Technology (TST)
The distinct blue panels of the Helix have been a standout feature since the first model was released in 2006. For 2018 blueseventy further advanced this technology by pairing the premium Yamamoto 40 cell blown blue rubber with ultrastretch jersey to provide amazing arm and shoulder mobility.

Ultrathin Arms
Premium Yamamoto 40 cell arm and arm gussets provide the flexibility and comfort of a second skin with the speed and propulsion of a full suit.

VO2 Chest Panel
The redesigned split chest construction naturally and anatomically accentuates the lungs, producing the optimal amount of buoyancy while maximizing stretch during respiration.
