Size: Small

THIS SWIMSKIN IS DESIGNED FOR:

Optimized hydrodynamics for athletes who demand the fastest swimskin on the planet to improve speed and reduce effort.

The Viper X.3 Ghost is engineered for pure speed, minimizing both surface and form drag. Built on our proven X.3 platform, this next-gen swimskin introduces a new era of hydrodynamic performance with advanced hydrophobic materials—in a color that's easy to spot and keeps you cooler in intense sun.

Patented IXI™ internal streamline support connects your core from shoulders to hips, locking you into a streamlined position. Our fastest material ever repels water on contact, maintaining ultra-low drag from start to finish. Seamless, laser-bonded construction delivers a second-skin feel that vanishes in motion.

WHAT'S A SWIMSKIN? AND WHEN TO HAVE ONE.

Swimskins are used in warm water races (above 76.1°F / 24.5°C) when wetsuits aren’t legal. They reduce drag by covering your tri kit with an ultra fast, hydrophobic layer—and will save you several minutes in the water.

Because race-day water temps can swing by a few degrees, it’s smart to pack a swimskin for any race where water is expected to be over 70°F / 21°C.

What you'll feel

What you'll feel

"Shaved and tapered" easy speed. Invisible to the water, with an ultra-slick skin that slides through the water, thanks to advanced hydrophobic textiles and laser-bonded seams.

Taut and straight through your core from IXI™ internal streamline support—and more propulsive than ever from a suit that connects hips to shoulders for sharper power transfer.

Who it's built for

Who it's built for

  1. Athletes looking for maximum speed in non-wetsuit races—to gap the competition or to hang in the pack using fewer heartbeats.
  2. Less experienced swimmers—will benefit from the extra core support in X.3 models to reduce "snaking" in the water.
  3. Athletes racing long course—will benefit from the extra body line support and comfort in X.3 models as core muscles fatigue deep into the swim.

FIT TIPS

  • Swimskins should fit snugly but comfortably without inhibiting your breathing or arm movement. Fit may feel different while swimming vs. on land, so make sure to try the suit in the water. They are meant to have a tight, compression fit, like a competition pool swimming suit.
  • Note that swimskins are meant to be worn on top of a race top/bottom or race suit only for the swim portion of the race. They are very specific, high performance garments not meant to be worn alone like traditional swimwear and the suits can be see-through under certain light or when wet. Undergarments such as a tri kit or swimsuit are strongly advised.
  • Your race kit will affect the fit slightly, so please be sure to try them on and swim in them with your race kit or another suit underneath.
