SummaryA good multipurpose swim jammer that is strong enough and priced low enough for a swimmer to use in training and competition without breaking the bank.
Description
Sporti has become a popular entry-level swimwear brand, marketed by Swim Outlet. The Light Wave Piped suits are black with a designed print on both legs. The print is available in several colors, including yellow, green, purple, blue and red.
The primary selling point of Sporti suit is the durability. The suit uses a type of Lyrca made especially for swimwear manufacturers, called Xtra Life Lyrca. Regular Spandex suits can, over time, start to sag and become misshaped, adding drag to the swimmer. Xtra Life Lyrca, according in Invista, the manufacturer of Lycra, will last 5-10 times longer than regular Spandex. This makes the suit appropriate for both training and racing.
While the suit is made with Xtra Life Lycra, the front lining is made with regular Spandex, which helps make sure that the suit has a comfortable fit and doesn’t chafe the skin.
The suit is manufactured using flat-locked seams. In addition to providing a comfortable fit, this stitching technique makes sure that the seems are low-profile, which helps reduce the swimmer’s drag coefficient.
The suit is economically-priced at around $26. This makes it a good all-purpose suit, useful for training and racing. For those preferring a solid suit, instead of a print, Sporti make a solid version.
