It's not much (no pricing yet, and only small pictures), but in case anybody didn't see it B70 has a page with some additional about the new suits: www.blueseventy.com/nerotx I wonder how much slower these suits will be, if at all, for women? It sounds like the new suits will still offer compression and significantly reduced drag.
I suppose no one knows for sure but the new suits should be slower than existing B70s, even for women because:
- permeable fabric should prevent trapping of air against skin, eliminating flotation
- "textile" fabric may have higher drag than rubber-coated fabric
- less coverage of skin due to knee length maximum
- elimination of zipper could reduce coverage to allow the suit to be put on without a zipper
