TYR Sport has redesigned its TYR Hurricane line to ‘further enhance its own performance standards.’ The company has added advanced features to its Category 5, 3 and 1 wetsuits, and has created a brand new Category 2 suit.
Set to hit shelves in early November, the updated Hurricane wetsuit collection is looking to take the triathlon world by storm.
The Category 5 remains the ‘most elite wetsuit in its class’. Engineered with advanced 100% Yamamoto 39 Cell Nano SCS Super Stretch Rubber, this suit aims to give the feeling of a second skin. TYR has advanced the Cat 5 with the addition of flotation panels on the abs, chest, obliques and legs.
According to TYR, targeting these key muscle groups allows for’ optimal body positioning in the water, maximum buoyancy and speed, as well as core stabilization and long-term preservation of core strength.’ This elite wetsuit has also been updated with a full antimicrobial lining for long lasting freshness. Additionally, The Cat 5 now features alpha catch panels for a maximized catch-and-release stroke, while an insulated, thinner layer underneath allows a feel for the water.
Aesthetically speaking, this wetsuit has received a makeover, featuring new graphics, styling and male/female colorways.
Additions were also applied to the Category 3. It is engineered with 100% Yamamoto 38 Cell Nano SCS Rubber for ‘super sleek and flexible performance in the water.’ It has also received additional flotation panels, specifically in the chest, abs and obliques. Like the Cat 5, the Cat 3 now features a full antimicrobial lining and alpha catch panels, as well as new graphics, styling and male/female colorways.
The Category 1 wetsuit is structurally remaining the same, but now features more competitive pricing, which TYR feels is sure to appeal to beginner triathletes. This suit is constructed with slick-skin neoprene for minimal drag and maximum speed.
In addition to remodelling its existing suits, TYR has also added an entirely new category suit: the Hurricane Category 2. Engineered for the beginner to intermediate competitor, this brand new wetsuit is ‘full of advanced features to maximize performance while adhering to an affordable price point.’
It is constructed with Slick Skin Neoprene, which provides minimal drag and maximum speed and durability. Features include elevation panels in the chest and abs, alpha catch panels, speed wrap panelling, ROM zones, partial anti-microbial lining and quick-release ankle and wrist cuffs.
