Compressing large muscle groups aids in the reduction of muscle fatigue and strain. The consistent, even firmness supports muscles efficiently without reducing movement so no energy in motion is wasted.
The compression suit acts as a second, firmer skin, molding to the contours of the body, improving blood circulation. The subtle rise in muscle temperature allows the body to meet its optimal performance level and then maintain it the entire race. Reducing undulation increases efficient oxygen transfer throughout the circulatory system. A rise in oxygenation will keep muscles from fatiguing quickly and promotes muscle flexion and extension. The end result is faster swimming with lower energy depletion.

| Features Comparison (hover over title for detail) | Tracer Light | Tracer B-Series | Tracer C-Series |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Mesh The Power Mesh liner is made from .4mm Poly micro-mesh, increasing the specific strength of the suit by a dramatic factor without escalating the weight. A hydrophobic finisher is applied to the mesh liner to act as an ultimate barrier against water. |
|||
| Power Compression Panels Incorporating power mesh, these panels will lock the core in with up to a 75% increase in zoned compression vs. a typical Lycra® suit. Decrease body circumference by up to 10%. |
|||
| Fabric The Tracer Light shell and lining features a lightweight, hydrophobic and quick-drying fabrication. Woven with a powerful micro-filament, it has enhanced stretch properties and memory retention to promote longevity and form-fit. |
|||
| Four-Way Lock Seams Contour the body and provide the strongest control available. TYR’s industry leading 18 stitch-per-inch seams are incredibly durable, low-profile, and offer superior range of motion (ROM). |
|||
| Compression Panels Used in conjunction with the Four-Way Lock Seams, and intricately designed around the human musculature, these muscle-mapped panels will lock the core in with up to a 25% increase in zoned compression vs. a typical Lycra® suit. Panels decrease body circumference by up to 5%. Compression generated by the suit decreases muscle undulation and helps improve blood flow and re-oxygenation of the muscle core. |
|||
| Range of Motion (ROM) Straps Stitched and firmly reinforced eight times for a sturdy hold that won’t split. Never compromising movement in the design process, allowing for fluidity and explosiveness. |
|||
| Bonding Smooth, flat-bonded seams outline the suit to create a stitchless design that provides a fluid, drag-reducing fit. The inside of the seam are bonded then encased with HB (high-bond) micro-taping to provide ultimate hold that won’t burst. The HB tape provides a consistently smooth stretch that leaves leg, arm, and neck openings a seamless transition from skin to fabric. |
|||
| Pattern With industry exclusive muscle-mapping seams, the Tracer B-Series’ five-piece pattern design fits along the contours of the body to provide superior fit and reduce drag. |
|||
| Stress-Point Enforcement All stress points along the suit are reinforced with micro-stitch tacking to ensure suit integrity even under extreme strains. |
