TYR Womens Hurricane Wetsuit Category 1

TYR Womens Hurricane Wetsuit, Category 1

TYR felt it crucial when designing the hurricane, to work with a renowned triathlete who is internationally recognized, who better than TYR's own Andy Potts. Using Andy's detailed, methodical feedback along with TYR's expertise in swimsuit development, we introduce TYR's first triathlon wetsuit series the Hurricane. Featuring suits that cater to any level of competition, athletes can get what will fit best in the water, meet their competition level, and fall within their budget.

Both TYR and Potts found it important to offer a wetsuit for an aspiring competitor. With that goal in mind, the Category 1 was made.
This simplistic, streamline version of the Hurricane offers the benefit of maximized performance and no fear of extreme fatigue when you enter the water by incorporating some of the highlights of the Category 5 and Category 3.
The least expensive of the three suits, Potts was so confident in its design he placed his name on it to show his satisfaction. The unbeatable price helps you on your way to being unbeatable in competition.

About Wetsuits: Triathlon wetsuits have come a long way since their inception by Dan Empfield in the late 80's. Customised specifically to the requirements of triathletes, these wetsuits boast certain unique features that other wetsuit types lack. Triathletes have aided the progression of the triathlon wetsuit with their input, refining and improving the design year on year. Generally a Triathlon wetsuit will have thinner, more flexible neoprene around the shoulders for freedom of movement. To make the wetsuit quicker to remove during transitions, triathlon wetsuits tend to have a longer easy-reach zip. To make the swimmer more hydrodynamic tri wetsuits tend to have a smoother surface to reduce drag, making for a faster swim. Triathlon wetsuits also provide extra buoyancy to the triathlete, meaning energy is used more efficiently.
