Description

The Men’s FU2 Racer is currently the top of the line FINA approved jammer from Rocket Science. This high end and pricey, but high performance jammer utilizes the proprietary Rocket-Tech composite technology and incorporates the latest in hydrodynamic swimming technology along with feedback and real life testing from world class elite swimmers and triathletes. Currently, Rocket Science sponsors several world class athletes from different countries in the fields of swimming and triathlon.

The FU2 Racer jammers feature advanced technologies such as superior compression technology that assists in providing more efficient muscle fiber binding, that leads to more efficient muscle movement as well as reduced fatigue and aids in recovery. The Rocket-Tech hydrophobic fabric consisting of 3 types of yarn provides an excellent combination of compression, flexibility, and hydrophobic properties, providing less surface area for the water to contact leading to superior water resistance that assists swimmers in obtaining an ideal and balanced streamlined position in the water for less drag, and more efficient swimming stroke by stroke without compromising comfort in any way. The Rocket Drag composite materials are used for the side panels, which help reduce turbulence on the boundary layer providing optimum hydrodynamics in the water, allowing the swimmer to cut through water quickly and efficiently. The FU2 jammer fabric is also laser cut and ultrasonic welded, which reduces or eliminates the seams to assure precise construction as well as reduced chaffing, optimum fit, and overall comfort.

These combinations of proprietary technologies, virtually cover most of the challenges that competitive swimmers experience, and provide that added boost of several seconds to minutes that may make or break an athletes performance for a particular event. Take note that the FU2 Racer jammer is not constructed with a chamois and cannot be used comfortably during the bike leg of triathlon events. This jammer is exclusively designed for swimming either as a racing or training apparel.

Although the Rocket Science Men’s FU2 Racer jammer is constructed with the best materials, technology, and real life testing, much of the technology is also limited by the individual swimmer’s technique, body composition, training, and genetic advantages in swimming. The FU2 Racer jammer is clothing that serves as a tool to assist swimmers in more efficient swimming. Cost is another limiting factor as the suggested website retail price is around $395. The Rocket Science Men’s FU2 Racer jammer are also best suited for actual competition and occasional training as all swimming fabrics tend to break down with time and frequency of use. Using a single $395 swimsuit both for training and competing is not advantageous in terms of your investment, as frequent use will increase the wear and tear of its fabrics. Prolonged chlorine exposure is also detrimental in the long run for all swimming fabrics.
