Lotic Wetsuit in Swim The Eden

Lotic Wetsuit in Swim The Eden

By David Hanney

The Lotic wetsuit offers unparalleled buoyancy and flexibility, allowing you to glide through the water with ease while keeping warm in the crisp currents of the Eden.

Very comfy, nice and flexible around the shoulders and knees and a really great fit. Now this is the point where any wetsuit earns its stripes, halfway through the swim, 2.4 miles and over 1.15 hour of swimming and the thickness and warmth are key. This is where the Lotic stood out for me, I didn't feel the cold at all and this really helped my muscles stay warm and my breathing measured. I powered through and really began to enjoy the beautiful scenery, taking in the rising sun as we swam across the lake. I couldn't recommend the Alpkit Lotic highly enough, super warm and thick without sacrificing on comfort and flexibility
