Austin, Texas, September 17, 2008 Rocket Science Sports Advances Wetsuit Technology Rocket Science Sports has broken a barrier in triathlon wetsuit design by engineering a yield of up to 55% more buoyancy than standard neoprene. Marcin Sochacki, founder of Rocket Science Sports and aerospace engineer/designer explains: Neoprene can only be so buoyant, so what we have done is made an inner layer of material which weighs significantly less than neoprene yet is still compression resistant. These special BLT panels (Buoyancy Laminated Technology) are placed in the legs and through the front of the hips to position the legs higher in the water. This reduces the dreaded dragging legs, which is a major cause for loss of speed. The BLT panels are also coated with Yamamoto SCS which has 50 times less drag than human skin. This combination gives unrivalled performance to any swimmer. This new technology designed by Rocket Science Sports is a standard feature in their complete line of wetsuits, starting from their entry level Real Joe Real Jane all the way up to the most advanced wetsuit in the world, the Rocket SL.
