Rival 2.0 Closed Back Kneeskin | Elite Technical Racing Suit (Black) FINIS®

Designed for competitive athletes with a balance between compression, support, and flexibility to lock and lift the hips into perfect body alignment. The Rival 2.0 is the next-generation elite-level tech suit.

We worked with our Olympic athletes Anthony Ervin, Olivia Smoliga, and James Guy, to perfect the fit, enhance performance, and develop a new, proprietary fabric. What’s different about this suit?

• It is TOUGH and features a unique weave method. That’s right – a suit with fabric just as tough as you are.
• It is optimized for gliding through the water. The Shield-Tech™ fabric’s surface retains a very small amount of water, creating a shield-like effect and reducing friction. 
• In the female suit, we added a vertical chest seam to prevent air pockets and reinforce oblique and lower abdomen compression.
• In the male suit, we focused on intensifying the compression on the back of the legs to lift the legs to the surface.
• Lastly, both suits feature single-layered panels on the inner thighs to increase comfort and range of motion in all four swim strokes.
