“We spent over 3 years on the development of the HydroX™. We set out to develop an entirely new fabric unlike anything used in the construction of tech suits today. With the help of biomechanics and anatomy professor, Redha Taiar Ph.D, two fabric specialists in Europe, a materials specialist from Asia, and our internal staff and athletes, we’ve created a fabric that is backed by science and fueled for performance. Now it’s time to see it in action!”
-John Mix, FINIS Co-Founder
The HydroX™ is constructed with an entirely new fabric called, MemoryFlex™. MemoryFlex™ fabric is a smart material that was designed to enhance the natural expansion and contraction of the muscles while improving flexibility and contention. The term smart material essentially means the fabric will return to its original position during and after each race providing the athlete with stability and balance throughout the swim.
