Roka Maverick ProMax 3 Wetsuit

The ARMS-UP design places the shoulder panels in a relaxed, overhead position rather than at your sides. This significantly reduces the resistance you feel when reaching forward during your stroke, making the suit feel less restrictive and more like a second skin.

This ratio indicates the distribution of buoyancy: 1mm in the chest, 3mm in the torso, and 5mm in the legs. By placing the most buoyancy in the lower body, the suit lifts your legs to the surface, correcting a 'sinking leg' position and helping you maintain a more efficient, horizontal posture.

Yes, the panels are constructed with durable, reinforced materials designed to withstand the stress of rapid removal in T1. While they are built for speed, they are robust enough to handle the rigors of a full triathlon season.

The independent neck suspension panel is designed to float separately from the rest of the suit, which allows it to move with your body rather than pulling against your skin. It is highly effective at reducing friction, though using a dedicated anti-chafe balm is still recommended for long-distance swims.

The taping acts as a structural support system for your core, helping to maintain body alignment and stability in the water. It essentially prevents the suit from twisting or sagging, which ensures that the power you generate with your arms is efficiently transferred through your body.

While the Maverick ProMax 3 is engineered for performance, its buoyancy profile is actually very helpful for swimmers of all levels who struggle with body position. However, because it is designed for maximum range of motion, it lacks some of the thicker, more forgiving neoprene found in entry-level suits, so it is best suited for those comfortable in a performance-fit garment.
