The Rival is a leading age-group or master race suit,  technically designed using three main principles: compression, robust seam structure and fit. It is not as highly Technical as the FINIS HydroX race suit and was the edition previous to the FINIS Rival 2.0 

FINIS used these main principles of compression, robust seam structure and fit to bring an authentic tech suit to market and provide swimmers with a product that is backed up by research and innovation.

The Rival is constructed using two fabrics:

• the one-way stretch fabric increases compression,
• while the two-way stretch fabric allows optimal range of motion. 

The combination of the two fabrics supports muscles and enables muscle efficiency. Seams are strategically placed to strengthen the bond between fabrics and enhance compression in adjacent areas. Designed in California at the FINIS Stroke Lab.
