First Rocket Skin Photos

I have obtained the following images from a top secret source within Rocket Science Sports, well, okay, it was me. But I'm excited to share these with my peeps. And yes I consider all those out there who subscribe to my post as "my peeps", thanks for your support! These are the first pictures we have of the world's first full length, full sleeve swim skin. I do apologize for the quality of these photos as they were taken with a cheap camera in poor lighting. Plus, I thought it was cool to present it in a slightly covert style. Tell me if it works for you. BTW, we'll have real pictures sooner or later on our website and an ad for this suit in September's Triathlete Magazine.

Men's and women's cuts

Approved by USAT to use in kicking everyone's butt in any non-wetsuit legal race!

Special drain design keeps water buildup from happening inside the suit on longer swims.

This suit even has to come with it's own warning. It says "WARNING: This skin suit was designed for serious athletes who want to be first. If you are one of the brave, put this on and let them see you win. RACE WITH ATTITUDE!"

Because this swim skin is full length and full sleeve, it will reduce drag by an additional 40% over sleeveless, short leg swim skins! As a comparison, our vortex generators on our Rocket XP Wetsuit reduces drag by 6% which trims 1sec./100 meters for a pro. So with the Rocket Skin we are looking at a 6.6sec./100 meter advantage! HOLY SHINTO! Did you hear that?

Now let me say this, we have a VERY limited quantity of these for this summer leading up to Kona and almost half of that is already pre-sold to dealers. So please, if you want one just to say you have one and aren't planning on attending the highest profile events remaining this year to kick everyone's butt, then please, please refrain from buying one until next spring when we will have a full production run.

If you have the killer instinct, are not timid of heart and going to some high profile races this year then get one ASAP! HURRY! Send an email today to sales@rocketsciencesports.com and let us know what size you need. They are priced at $399.99. Sizing information is the same as wetsuit sizing in men's and women's but S,M,L,XL only.

Cheers!
