The special edition Fastskin LZR Racer X and Fastskin LZR Racer 2 swimsuits feature a new patriotic print design with stars, red and blue stripes and gold lines. Both suits are designed to increase core support and compression to enhance the abilities of the swimmers. The Fastskin LZR Racer X launched in 2015 as the first suit to make swimmers feel their fastest.
