HUUB Pinnacle Men’s Wetsuit

RRP $999 A wetsuit that claims to cure all sorts of swim faults

HUUB’s Pinnacle wetsuit hits the sweet spot between high performance and all those swim challenges many weekend warriors will relate to. Sinky legs, snaking, overreach issues or core strength that is more supple than six pack? The Pinnacle wetsuit, HUUB claim, has innovation “designed to deliver benefits to most swimmers. It’s a suit that corrects more failings than any other - maybe just don’t tell your swim coach!”

Flexibility

Manufactured from the “ultimate combination” of Japan-made Yamamoto type 39 and 40 neoprene, the Pinnacle’s key panels are designed to maximise stroke reach and effectiveness, augmented by combining HUUB’s patent pending Arms Neutral™ stroke fatigue-reducing tech. A focus on lining materials, warp & weft, directional alignment and moisture absorption rates contribute to HUUB’s Rotational Freedom™ and No Suit™ feel.

It’s a Core Issue

The Pinnacle wetsuit’s Core Control™ system helps get you in a strong swim position, reducing fatigue due to vibration as a result. “Our technology and design takes advantage of every stroke to help you propel forward and transfer energy from core stabilisation to forward movement. It all adds up to a more effective catch, keeps you in a straight and tight swimming position and ultimately makes you faster while using less energy.” Sounds good to us.

Buoyancy Profile

HUUB research found 85 percent of triathletes came from non-swim backgrounds which led the company to develop its proprietary Measurement of Active Drag (M.A.D) system to understand what really goes on in the water. The Pinnacle suit’s 3:5 buoyancy profile is a result, designed to assist swimmers without a natural high leg position.

+43 Foam™

Pinnacle wetsuits use a composite material that is 43 percent more buoyant than traditional neoprene. The aptly named +43 Foam™ ensures higher hips and thighs for a more efficient and faster swim.
