About ROKA Men's SIM Pro II Neoprene Buoyancy Shorts For

TRAIN LIKE YOU RACE WITH THE SIM PRO II SHORTS The SIM is the first practical triathlon and swim training tool to mimic the body position and experience of a wetsuit swim by lifting you up – without overheating from wearing a wetsuit in an 80° pool. This patented suit is a game changer. It’s better than a pull-buoy, because it lets you kick and turn naturally. It also gives just a touch of warmth for those cold morning workouts. The SIM makes every swim a race-specific training workout. Once you try it, you won’t ever want to go back. Note, these shorts are designed for the pool and should have excellent durability if you rinse them after use with fresh water and dry them thoroughly. GET THE FASTEST BODY POSITION The SIM Pro II lifts up your hips just like a wetsuit, putting you in the fastest position possible and helping your body develop the muscle memory needed on race day. Most top wetsuit manufacturers focus on buoyancy alone. Sure, wetsuits help lift you up, but that’s not enough – and in some cases it can really get in the way of fast swimming. If you want to swim faster with less effort, then rotation matters a LOT. A fast freestyle requires effective rotation along your centerline to generate power and speed in the most propulsive phase of your stroke. The Maverick Pro leverages basic laws of physics. We call our application of those laws “RS2” – the ROKA Speed Stripe. We also use Yamamoto’s SCS coating to further reduce form drag. We’re confident you’ll feel the ROKA difference as soon as you jump in the water. The SIM is considered by USAT rules to be the same as a wetsuit. Therefore, you may wear the SIM in a race where wetsuits are permitted, but you may not wear it in a non-wetsuit race.
