Blu Smooth MK3 Elite Unisex Open Water Swim Wetsuit

Blu Smooth MK3 Elite Open Water Swimming Wetsuit

The new MK3 ELITE is our latest elite high-performance open-water swimming wetsuit. Designed for racing, the MK3 Elite offers maximum buoyancy, comfort and flexibility and replaces our previously popular and fast MK2.Zero. 

Buoyancy:

Maximum buoyancy is created by a large chest panel and thigh panels constructed of SCS coated, 5mm Yamamoto Aerodome fabric.

Yamamoto Aerodome is a sandwiched neoprene that contains a perforated layer between two solid layers. This composition traps air inside little chambers which enhances buoyancy whilst reducing weight.

Flexibility:

Extreme flexibility is achieved by the use of a light and flexible 1.5mm, SCS coated, Yamamoto #39 neoprene fabric for the crucial shoulder and underarm panels. Yamamoto #39 neoprene moulds comfortably to the contours of a swimmer’s shoulder creating a feeling of complete freedom of movement and minimal restriction.

The addition of new “torso-flex” panels on the front hip area of the wetsuit and a super-stretch nylon inner lining in crucial flex areas further enhances the suit’s overall flexibility.

Warmth and Comfort:

All the seams on the MK3 ELITE are stitched on the inside and glued on the outside to minimise water intake. The main body panels of the wetsuit are lined with a new softer and smoother inner lining which not only makes it more comfortable but also makes removing the suit easier. An exciting new feature of the MK3 ELITE is its lower cut and softer collar; designed to significantly reduce chafing.
