Built in PaperLite, the lightest hydrodynamic fabric in Zone3's race swimwear, with a Nano coating that repels water at the surface for reduced drag. An open back leaves the shoulders unrestricted through the catch and the recovery. Highly structured fabric applies targeted compression, with flatlock low-profile seams and metallic gold thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHO IT'S FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanctioned pool racing, where approved swimwear is a condition of the start list. This is the suit for the races you have built a season around, and the only Zone3 kneeskin that will pass a kit check.

Performance Gold uses PaperLite, the lighter fabric, with a Nano coating, and this kneeskin is the approved one. Performance Speed uses Aquaflo and its kneeskin is not approved, so it suits racing and race-pace training where the rules do not require it. If your event checks kit, this is the one. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEY BENEFITS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. The one that passes kit check. \u003c\/strong\u003eWorld Aquatics approved under homologation number ZN220851, listed since 2018, and the only Zone3 kneeskin with that approval. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. The lightest race layer Zone3 makes. \u003c\/strong\u003ePaperLite is the lightest hydrodynamic fabric in the race swimwear range, cut to a second skin so there is very little of it and none of it loose. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Water runs off rather than in. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Nano coating repels water at the surface instead of letting the fabric absorb it, keeping resistance low and the suit light through a full race. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Shoulders free through the catch. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe open back gives unrestricted movement into the catch and through the recovery, with no fabric pulling across the shoulder blades at full reach. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Compression that stays honest. \u003c\/strong\u003eHighly structured fabric applies targeted compression through the body and thighs, aiding muscular activation over repeated maximal efforts and holding its shape across a season. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT YOU'LL FEEL\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight and open at the same time, which is an odd combination the first time. Getting into it takes patience and both hands, working from the ankles up. Once on, the pressure through the body and thighs is firm and even, while the back stays uncovered and cool. The difference shows at full reach, where the arms travel overhead with nothing catching across the shoulder blades and nothing pulling you back down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-template--25852196487549__zone3_text_cMzMjh\" class=\"shopify-section zone3__section-title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"zone3__section-text\" id=\"zone3-section-text-template--25852196487549__zone3_text_cMzMjh\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"zone3__section-text__inner px-4 md:px-8 grid grid-cols-6 md:grid-cols-12 gap-8 w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spacing-style text-block text-block--AdGlxc2M2K1BVL3UyZ__text_4BKn3F custom\n    text-block--align-left text-block--full-width  custom-typography  custom-font-size  custom-color\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"shopify-section-template--25852196487549__zone3_text_J9fTnx\" class=\"shopify-section zone3__section-title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"zone3__section-text\" id=\"zone3-section-text-template--25852196487549__zone3_text_J9fTnx\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"zone3__section-text__inner px-4 md:px-8 grid grid-cols-6 md:grid-cols-12 gap-8 w-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spacing-style text-block text-block--AUHpEMFdINW9zZHpYV__text_DqGhKT custom\n    text-block--align-left text-block--full-width  custom-typography  custom-font-size  custom-color\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"metafield-rich_text_field\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFABRIC AND COATING\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaperLite fabric: \u003c\/strong\u003ethe ultra-light hydrodynamic fabric of the Performance Gold line, named 'Performance Gold' fabric. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNano coating: \u003c\/strong\u003erepels water at the surface for reduced drag. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighly structured construction: \u003c\/strong\u003eholds shape, supports the body and aids body position through repeated racing. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition: \u003c\/strong\u003e75% polyamide, 25% elastane. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFIT AND CONSTRUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecond-skin fit: \u003c\/strong\u003emoulds close to the body with no loose fabric. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen back: \u003c\/strong\u003eleaves the shoulders unrestricted through the catch and the recovery. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTargeted compression: \u003c\/strong\u003eaids muscular activation through hard efforts. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlatlock low-profile seams: \u003c\/strong\u003esit flat against the skin for a clean surface and a snug fit. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetallic gold thread: \u003c\/strong\u003ethe visual signature of the Performance Gold line. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRACE COMPLIANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorld Aquatics approved: \u003c\/strong\u003eformerly FINA.
