While he loved the benefits of swimming faster in a full wetsuit, he felt too warm and claustrophobic. After careful research and testing on how to achieve wetsuit buoyancy without losing speed, the Speedtube was born. The Speedtube floats the hips without sacrificing torso rotation and the natural stroke motion, resulting in better swimming technique. Perfect for racing, training or a replacement for your swim buoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Please refer to the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.desotosport.com\/pages\/t1-wetsuits-size-chart\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\" title=\"Wet suit size chart\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esize chart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e button above \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efor sizing guidance based on gender.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf in doubt, email questions to contact@desotosport.com.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1135\/1552\/files\/T1_4_59_Small_1.mp4?v=1646411656\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1135\/1552\/files\/T1_02_Thumb_73c1d366-6c0e-4d86-928f-fe45621cfb83.jpg?v=1646419338\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Speedtube and all individual T1 Wetsuit pieces are completely \u003cstrong\u003elegal\u003c\/strong\u003e under the rules set by ITU, WTC, USAT and all other governing bodies.  \u003c\/span\u003eIt \u003cstrong\u003ecan\u003c\/strong\u003e only be worn in races that permit wetsuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe two-piece design of the T1 Wetsuits offers more comfort and less restriction. Because the top and bottom are not attached, you have much more freedom of movement and there is no “torso-rubber stretch” or shoulder fatigue that occurs with one-piece wetsuits. All T1 models are sold as separates for a more customized and personal fit. With up to seven sizes of tops and bottoms, you have 49 possible size combinations from which to choose. Other features we innovated many years ago include lower necklines and thicker rubber in the legs and hips to help float the largest bones and muscles in the body. More floatation here means more speed. T1 Wetsuits are not filled with gimmicks, just physics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess-toxic bonding agent for people with skin sensitivities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFavorite Features Remain:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-panel contour design for an exceptional fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeams are glued and blind-stitched, making them more durable than the rubber itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5mm \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.desotosport.com\/pages\/greengoma\" title=\"GreenGoma\" style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff2a00;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGreenGoma™ \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e#8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber with Super Composite Skin for maximum buoyancy without compromising speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShin cut high for easy fitting and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy duty drawstring waist allows adjustability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLined with 4-Way stretch Nylon Lycra® for comfort and to minimize chafing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be worn alone or with any First Wave or Black Pearl Pullovers and Vests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo graphics, just all black, no gimmicks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as separates for a truly customized fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSustainability is extremely important to De Soto, \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.desotosport.com\/pages\/wetsuit-environmental-and-sustainability\" style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"wetsuit environmental sustainability\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eclick here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e to learn how we are making a difference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.desotosport.com\/pages\/guarantee-warranty-t1-wetsuits\" title=\"T1 Wetsuits 100% satisfaction guarantee\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eT1 Wetsuits 100% Satisfaction Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.desotosport.com\/pages\/guarantee-warranty-t1-wetsuits\" style=\"color: #000000;\" title=\"T1 Wetsuits 100% satisfaction guarantee\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.desotosport.com\/pages\/t1-wetsuit-product-care\" title=\"T1 wetsuit and FAQs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eT1 Wetsuit product care and FAQs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChlorine resistant treatment, but not recommend for repeated use in chlorinated water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for swimmers and triathletes who:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehave a weak kick and want maximum hip flotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoverheat easily in other wetsuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE BE AWARE:\u003c\/strong\u003e  We created this bottom to avoid overheating in races where the water is warmer than 68 degrees. This is due to the water entering between the top and the bottom at the waist. There will likely be a separation between any top and the Speedtube, once you start swimming.  It does not cause any drag (if the drawcord is tightened) so you do not swim any slower.  So if you are looking for maximum warmth we recommend the Bibjohn.  If you are comfortable in cooler waters the Speedtube is amazing.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA TIP FROM EMILIO:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe drawstring system is quite simple.  You just use a shoelace knot.  You then carefully leave tuck the two bows into the waist while leaving the two ends out.  When it comes time to untie it, you just reach down for the two ends and pull.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: block;\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: block;\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether you like to swim for exercise or are on the swim course of a Triathlon, T1 Wetsuits offer you speed, comfort and buoyancy that will make swimming pure pleasure!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e PRODUCT CODE:  ST3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"T1 Wetsuits","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 5","offer_id":48333704593630,"sku":"ST_USA_5","price":380.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 6","offer_id":48333708591326,"sku":"ST_USA_6","price":380.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1135\/1552\/files\/ST_USA_Front_01.jpg?v=1781299729","url":"https:\/\/www.desotosport.com\/products\/t1-speedtube-usa-made","provider":"De Soto Sport","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
