FINIS Women's HydroX Openback Kneeskin Tech Suit Swimsuit

Amplify your confidence in the FINIS Women's HydroX Openback Kneeskin Tech Suit Swimsuit, the latest innovation in competition swimwear from FINIS. They have perfected the most essential details of the race suit, starting with the fabric and the way it interacts with muscle. The threads of our proprietary MemoryFlex™ fabric are positioned to optimize the natural expansion and contraction of the muscle, providing consistent compression for the highest performance. MemoryFlex™ is a smart material that will return to its original shape throughout the stroke cycle, enhancing flexibility and compression.

“I’d recommend the HydroX to longer-distance swimmers who don’t need a ton of compression.” - Marina Spadoni, El Salvador’s Record Holder in the 50m butterfly. Read more about the FINIS HydroX in the SwimOutlet Tech Suit Review.

Features

• Backed by Science: FINIS worked with world-renowned scientist Redha Taiar whose concentration in biomechanics and anatomy enabled them to develop the HydroX™

Fit Tips

1. Size Down for Optimal Fit: Choose a size 2-3 sizes smaller than your best-fitting training suit or one size smaller than your standard tech suit size. If you're between sizes, go with the smaller size for the best fit.

2. The Right Fit May Feel Surprising: The HydroX is designed to go on more easily than other tech suits. For female swimmers especially, it may feel "too easy" to put on. If it fits comfortably, that’s a good sign – you don't need to size down further.

3. Comfortable Compression and Support: The suit should feel like a second skin without overly tight compression. You should be able to move freely without feeling restricted, especially when bending down into a start position.
