Description
- Stabilize The Core - Stability is a critical element of wetsuit design. Because not everyone is an Olympic swimmer, they can benefit from a little extra support in their suit. We use thicker and less stretchy neoprene in the core and legs to improve stability and keep your body aligned and connected. This translates into a more efficient, streamlined freestyle.
- Get The Fastest Body Position - The Maverick Elite is engineered with smart, area-specific buoyancy to encourage the fastest body position possible. We remove buoyancy from the chest (you've got lungs for that) and add it to the legs where you need it most. Most wetsuits get this backwards, adding buoyancy to the chest, where it offers little benefit but hinders shoulder movement, and offering less than 5mm buoyancy in the legs.
- Transition Faster - Getting in and out of your suit can be a HUGE frustration. No longer. To make that transition even faster, we have thoughtfully designed a super stretchy ankle panel that provides just enough give to step cleanly out of your suit at T1.
- Outstanding Fit & Flexibility - We use premium, super-thin 1.5mm Yamamoto #39 neoprene with a very high stretch textile liner for the arms, shoulders, chest and back of the suit - covering the dominant working muscles for the freestyle stroke. This combination means your shoulders won't burn like they do in your current suit. We use thicker, less stretchy neoprene in the core and legs, where support and stability is desired. We also use different textile liners on the inside of the suit, allowing stretch in some places and adding stability in others. The result is a feeling of comfort and speed you will love.
- More Power - Body rotation is the key to easy speed in the water. The majority of the suits on the market get this problem dead wrong. Many suits, even the most expensive, add buoyancy to the lateral or outside parts of a wetsuit, causing a damping effect that hinders your rotation - the equivalent of adding weights to your cycling shoes. This inhibits the power phase of your stroke, makes you expend more energy, and ultimately slows you down. The patent-pending design of the Maverick Elite adds buoyancy to the centerline, allowing you to rotate properly on your longitudinal axis.
The Roka Women's Maverick Elite boasts the same DNA as its Maverick Pro sister. Along with the exact same women's specific pattern, the design principles that make the Pro faster and more comfortable than every other suit on the market have been incorporated into the Elite to distance it from every competitor in its price range. Like our flagship suit, the Maverick Elite is an easy speed machine, and you simply can't find another suit this fast or this comfortable at this price.
