Speedo Fastskin LZR Racer Elite Bodysuit / Olympic Speedsuit Swimskin Skinsuit

Description: Amazing technological suit used by the Olympic team in 2008. This suit was Co-developed with NASA (Technical) and Comme des Garcons (fashion designer). Size: GB/US: 24 DE: 28 FR: 28 IT: 34 AUS: 24 Do note that these Olympic swimsuits are very tight These Olympic swimsuits are very tight, meant for svelte swimmers builds. There is little to no give. I will also note that, while this suit is new with the tags attached, it is 16 years old. The material has been in storage and shown creases and other storage marks. Because of this I am selling this suit as a collectible and I cannot guarantee the longevity of the suit if you decide to wear it or swim in it. Original MSRP in 2008 $595. The LZR Elite were developed by Mectex, an Italian company, in association with the Australian Institute of Sport, with the help of Speedo's sponsored athletes. NASA's wind tunnel testing facilities and fluid flow analysis software supported the design. The design result, called the LZR Racer, reduced skin friction drag 24% more than the previous Speedo swimsuit. In March 2008, athletes wearing the LZR Racer broke 13 swimming world records. Much like other suits used for high competition racing, LZR Racers allow for better oxygen flow to the muscles, and hold the body in a more hydrodynamic position, while repelling water and increasing flexibility. The LZR Elite is ultrasonically welded to further reduce drag. The suits are manufactured at Petratex, a textile factory in Paços de Ferreira, Portugal; the technology is patented in that country. The LZR Elite includes patented Core Stabilizer and Internal Compression Panels. Speedo also partnered with ANSYS, one of the world's leading engineering simulation software providers, in creating this suit. Endorsed for competitive use by FINA prior to the Beijing Olympics, early case studies suggested that the LZR Elite was effective in reducing the racing times of competitive swimmers by 1.9 to 2.2 percent. These Fastskin body-length swimwear has since been banned from FINA competitions. Don’t miss this chance to own an amazing piece of history! Check out the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking!
