What is SCS swim fabric?
- This technology is most commonly found on high-end wetsuit models, but only now has become available for use on swimwear which is required to reach FINA and WTC approval.
- High-density knitted structure with 100% water repellent SCS coating.
- SCS (Super Composite Skin) technology allows only the surface of the suit to have hydrophilic property therefore meeting FINA approval.
- A surface frictional resistance of 0.025cdf compared to industry-standard 1.8cdf making it the fastest swimskin in the world.
