Silvertip Cold Water Wetsuit
€259,99
Silvertip Wetsuit – cold water comfort that goes the distance. Silvertip is our fleece-lined wetsuit for year-round wild swimming — from Scottish lochs to icy dips at dawn. Made from premium Yamamoto limestone neoprene, it’s warm, flexible and built to swim further, colder, longer. Don’t be fooled by the price — this suit punches far above it.
-
3mm fleece-lined neoprene keeps you warmer, longer
-
Buoyant and flexible for an efficient, natural stroke
-
Glideskin finish reduces drag and slows heat loss
Made for wild swims, not short dips
Silvertip is designed to help you stay comfortable in cold water without restricting your stroke. A soft fleece lining traps warmth and limits water movement inside the suit, helping you stay warm without needing extra thickness. Strategic use of thinner neoprene across the shoulders, chest and arms gives you full freedom to swim naturally — even on longer swims in 4°C water.
Glideskin neoprene on the outer reduces drag through the water while also slowing heat transfer away from your body. High-wear areas like the calves are reinforced with abrasion-resistant neoprene, and the long rear zip lanyard makes it easy to get in and out solo. A small internal pouch stashes your key securely.
Swimmer-tested, swimmer-trusted
Wild swimmers come back to Silvertip again and again — for the warmth, the freedom of movement, and the sheer comfort in cold water.
“Used it in 6 degree water and was super warm. Tight, but not restricting.” – Martin
“This wetsuit has changed my life... Now I’m dragging my girlfriend into the water.” – Matt
“After a dozen swims between 9 and 4°C up to an hour in length — faultless.” – Chris
Even Kate Rew, founder of the Outdoor Swimming Society, wore her Silvertip for 24km journey down the Oulanka, Finland – and still swears by it.
Lower impact: built to last and fully recyclable
The Silvertip is made entirely from Yamamoto limestone neoprene — a premium alternative to petroleum-based foams that’s more durable, more flexible and absorbs less water. It’s warm, long-lasting and a joy to wear.
And when it reaches the end of its swim life? We’ll take it back through our Circular Flow partnership to be fully recycled into new neoprene products — keeping materials in use and out of landfill.
