Terrapin Natural Swimming Wetsuit
€169,99
Terrapin Wetsuit – A natural feel for open water adventures
Terrapin is our thinnest and most flexible wetsuit — designed for swimmers who want thermal protection without being pushed into an unnatural floating position. It's all about freedom, balance, and feeling connected to the water.
Why we love it
-
Low-buoyancy design supports your natural swimming position
-
High flexibility around shoulders and underarms for unrestricted strokes
-
Premium Yamamoto neoprene throughout — fully recyclable at end of life
Performance in motion
Terrapin is built for adventure swimming and open water exploration — from river dips to long summer crossings. The thinner neoprene gives you warmth without excess lift, allowing your body to stay flat and balanced in the water. It’s ideal for those who prefer to feel the rhythm of their stroke without bobbing unnaturally high on the surface.
We’ve used 3mm Glideskin neoprene across the chest and back for insulation, while keeping things super flexible with 1.5–2.5mm panels under the arms, around the shoulders and down the legs. The result is a suit that moves with you and responds to every reach, pull and kick.
Swimmer tested. Swimmer trusted.

Recyclable by design
