Progressive-stretch is a concept in full-stretch wetsuits only available in the VELOCITY series. It all starts with BARE-Fit, which is the foundation of every BARE suit. BARE-Fit uses ergonomic suit design involving complex shaped patterns with articulated legs and arms. From there, zones associated with performance within the suit are selected. Then, proven fabrics are chosen from various prototypes that have been tested for years. By placing the different fabrics in particular panels of the suit, the VELOCITY series delivers exceptional fit, feel and performance.
This wetsuit is a combination of three material types, each with their own stretch characteristics, which make it really strong and quite flexible. We call this unique combination of materials PROGRESSIVE STRETCH technology PROGRESSIVE STRETCH technology is the "intelligent use of stretch".
