TYR Tracer Light
Tracer Light was developed by the world's top swimmers, coaches and human performance experts to be a fine balance between human physiology, science and art. By examining muscular and anatomical structure, we designed Tracer Light to fit with precision over the world's most elegant form ñ the human body.
Tracer Light does exactly what the name implies. Engineered compression in each panel traces along the muscular contours of the body optimizing athletic performance benefits. By targeting each individual panel, TYR has developed the first performance swimwear technology that addresses muscle oxygenation, cadenced muscle responsiveness, and muscle core and energy return systems.
Tracing the muscles that are the power source for all swimmers with extra compression panels, flat-lock stitching and a lightweight, hydrophobic and quick-drying fabric, Tracer Light is proof of TYR's commitment and promise to the athlete and their drive for achievement. The benefits of drag reduction and body mass containment, while maximizing athletic performance and muscular torque and flexion, have never been greater.

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.

Tracer Light: Lightweight
Tracer Light is constructed from the strongest microfiber available and distinguishes a significant progression in chlorine resistant racing fabric. This includes enhanced stretch properties and memory retention. Specifically developed to eliminate water absorption, drag, weight and, of course, doubt.
Tracer Light: Quick Dry
Faster than you are. It's what every swimmer tries to do. To swim faster than their competition. To swim faster than their last race. When developing Tracer Light we wanted a suit that dried faster than anything we've ever made; faster than anyone had ever made. And we did. We have created a suit that is hydrophobic down to the molecular level so it stays lighter, moves faster through the water and goes from completely saturated to dry, faster than any suit before it.
Tracer Light: Compression
Training doesn't push your body to the limit, it changes the limits of your body. As you train, your heart and muscles adapt for more efficient athletic performance. Heart rate and stroke volume increase to pump more oxygen to your muscles more rapidly. Conversely, your muscles adjust to extract more oxygen. Tracer Light technology maximizes these essential athletic training and performance benefits with the right compression in the right places, to let your muscles breathe.
