Blue Seventy Helix neoprene wetsuit

The Helix is our professional level, premium racing wetsuit. Designed first and foremost for speed this suit is engineered to maximize your efforts for the fastest race swim possible. Due to the nature of the extremely flexible materials used in the arms and shoulders we strongly recommend the Helix is used for racing and not rigorous training.

The latest iteration of the most iconic wetsuit in triathlon features a bold new look and improved performance. New for 2024, the Helix features our incredibly flexible seamless shoulder design with an improved neckline to maximize freedom of movement throughout your entire stroke and further minimize chafing. In addition, a repositioning of the Lift Panels further increases the wetsuit’s buoyancy and body positioning aid. The world renowned paneling and materials of the Helix stay the same to ensure maximum flexibility and enhance your stroke mechanics. Each generation of the Helix sets the bar a little higher and this one is no exception.


Features:

Quick Exit Legs:
- 1.5mm thin and flexible lower leg panels begin at the knee and flare out at the ankle making it easy to remove the suit in T1.

Body Fit Panels:
- Gender specific contours and thinner, more flexible 3mm side panels have less buoyancy, allowing natural hip rotation and easier suit removal.

Premium Materials:
- The highest quality Yamamoto smooth skin neoprene is paired with 100% nylon, ultra-stretch jersey lining to create a suit that is lighter and stretchier than the competition.

Layered Insulation Foam Technology:
- Lift technology uses ultra buoyant foam sandwiched between the outer and inner layers on the front of the legs to boost buoyancy and improve body positioning.

Maximum Allowed Buoyancy:
- A 5mm Yamamoto Aerodome panel flows from the central chest down to the hips and quads to provide the maximum buoyancy where its most needed. In addition, 4mm neoprene in the lower legs keeps you in a streamlined swimming position.

The Insides Count:
- Extremely flexible, 100% nylon ultra-stretch jersey is lighter and stretchier compared to other suits.

Reverse Zipper:
- Eliminates chafing at the neck due to the position of the zipper head and allows for a lower more comfortable collar.

Aqua-Feel Catch Panels:
- Hydrophobic, permeable textile catch panels return the feel for the water.

Ultra Thin Arms:
- Premium, ultra-thin, 1.5mm Yamamoto 40 cell neoprene in the arms provides flexibility, comfort, and speed.

Distance Per Stroke:
- Improved paneling across the back enhances your natural rotation to increase reach and maximize distance per stroke.

Seamless Shoulder Design:
- The distinct blue shoulders and back are now seamless which maximizes flexibility throughout your full range of motion.

Increased Neck Comfort:
- A lowered and widened neck opening increases comfort and reduces chafing.
