Rocket Science Sports was founded in Austin, Texas in 2004 by Marcin Sochacki — an aerospace engineering graduate who happened to be a triathlete frustrated by the gear available to him. He started applying the principles he knew from aircraft design — aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, material science — to wetsuits, swim skins, and triathlon apparel.
Two decades later, the brand has dressed first-time open water swimmers, age-group athletes, and world-record holders. Every product still goes through the same engineering-led process: design, test, refine, repeat.
We brought Rocket Science Sports to South Africa because the gear belongs in our oceans. Open water swimming, triathlon, and surf culture are part of how we live here — and the technical demands of swimming a Robben Island crossing or racing the Cape Epic deserve gear built for performance, not compromise.
Triathlon wetsuits, tri-suits, and performance swim gear across five performance tiers. Our job is to help you understand which gear fits your body, your level, and your goals — then put the right one on you.
Every detail earns its place. Engineered to maximise human efficiency — aero, hydro, compression, and form.
Good design isn't enough. We've been refining the craft since 2004, hunting marginal gains stroke by stroke.
Tightly integrated with our production team — quality checked at every step so what you receive is what we designed.
Tell us your level, your goals, and where you swim. We'll point you to the gear that fits.
