Introducing Hurricane -

“Best In Show” At Interbike 2009

TYR felt it crucial to work with a renowned triathlete who is internationally recognized for his pack-leading swim - Andy Potts. Using his detailed, methodical feedback along with our expertise in swimsuit development, we introduce our first triathlon wetsuit series - the Hurricane. Featuring three suit options that cater to any level of competition, athletes can get what will fit best in the water, meet their competition level, and fall within their budget.

Seeing as how a top-of-the-line, quality wetsuits are ~$600, TYR's new trio of wetsuits are, by and by, affordable. Not to mention Uber-cool!!!

Speedo LZR Pro

NEW! TYR Tracer C-Series

Compressing large muscle groups aids in the reduction of muscle fatigue and strain. The consistent, even firmness supports muscles efficiently without reducing movement so no energy in motion is wasted.

The compression suit acts as a second, firmer skin, molding to the contours of the body, improving blood circulation. The subtle rise in muscle temperature allows the body to meet its optimal performance level and then maintain it the entire race. Reducing undulation increases efficient oxygen transfer throughout the circulatory system. A rise in oxygenation will keep muscles from fatiguing quickly and promotes muscle flexion and extension. The end result is faster swimming with lower energy depletion.

Power Mesh
The Power Mesh liner is made from .4mm Poly micro-mesh, increasing the specific strength of the suit by a dramatic factor without escalating the weight. A hydrophobic finisher is applied to the mesh liner to act as an ultimate barrier against water.

NEW! TYR Tracer B-Series

No sewing or threads means greater drag reduction and a smooth, flawless finish. Each connecting seam is fused using HB (high-bond) micro-tape to weld fabric together ultrasonically.

Following the natural contours of the human body, the Tracer B-Series design leads the industry with an exclusive muscle-mapping pattern. Creating the most form-fitting suit fused throughout with ultra-sonic bonds, there is no sewing of parts to make a single suit. Athletes now have a smooth, flawless and seemingly continuously technology that is comprised of five pieces. Minimized seams, ultra-light bonding, and no stitching allows for an incredibly light yet functionally fitting technology.
