Nessie
Nessie is a women's long sleeved one-piece swimsuit for the wild swimmers who don’t fancy a wetsuit. For those who want to take the edge off the chill but still feel the water on their skin. With a boy-short style cut that gives you coverage where you want it, freedom where you need it, and the confidence to just get in. No fuss. No faff. Just zip up and swim.
Why Nessie makes sense
-
More coverage, less bulk - Long sleeves and boy-short legs give coverage without feeling restricted
-
Support where it counts - Lined front panel and muscle-supporting stretch fabric that moves with you
-
Built for the water - UV protective, chlorine resistant, and quick-drying with no bagginess in sight
-
Easy to change - Front zip with a camlock slider that stays put once done up
Made to move in water
The Nessie is cut for cold dips, short swims, and long, slow paddles. Made with a flattering panelled fit and four-way stretch, it hugs close like a second skin without holding you back. Flatlock seams keep things smooth, and the zip’s easy to manage even with cold fingers. It's not about speed or records. It's about the feel of it.
Throw it on when a wetsuit’s too much. When the water’s just cool enough to sting. When you want a swim to feel like a swim.
Low impact, high comfort
Made from ECONYL® recycled nylon, Nessie gives old ocean plastics a new life in the water. The high-quality Italian fabric was chosen for both its environmental credentials and lasting performance. It holds its shape. Resists chlorine, sun cream and salt. And it feels soft against skin, even on your third swim of the week.
Pair with a Haven changing robe and a warm brew after your dip.
