Lotic Swimming Wetsuit

Open water swimming requires buoyancy, freedom of movement and insulation - a combination you just don't get in a standard wetsuit. Designed in collaboration with industry guru Dean Jackson, Lotic was made to meet these demands.

The right level of buoyancy helps you to move swiftly and efficiently through the water. We’ve used slightly thicker neoprene at the back, upper legs and glutes to lift your lower body. This reduces drag at the front of the wetsuit and stops your legs from getting so tired, promoting a more efficient swimming position.

Exclusively made from Yamamoto limestone neoprene throughout, Lotic uses thinner neoprene around the shoulders, chest and underarms, leaving your upper body unrestricted so you can really reach forward for long, powerful strokes. The collar and cuffs are thinner still to reduce wetsuit chafing.

Glideskin neoprene makes up most of Lotic. This gives it excellent dirt and water repellence and reduces drag through water so that you move more efficiently. Glideskin also reduces heat conduction from the body, making it warmer than standard neoprene. The lower leg is a high abrasion area, so we’ve used nylon-faced neoprene around the calf and shin for added durability.

The wrists, ankles, shoulders and neck feature flashes of red for better visibility. A long lanyard zip-puller up the back means you can get into your wetsuit without relying on a passer-by to help you!

Lotic is fully recyclable at end-of-life to be made into new neoprene products through our partnership with Circular Flow.

Whether you’re an experience open water swimmer or transitioning over from the pool, Lotic offers the best balance between flexibility, buoyancy and warmth.
