    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.

    Sustainability and Product Care
    When you are pulling on your suit take care not to use your finger nails. Check your suit for fit and range of motion. Your suit will feel different when wet. Rinse your suit out with fresh water after each use. Hang the wetsuit inside out and allow to dry away from direct sunlight or heat source. Store your suit in a cool room on a wide plastic coat hanger. Roll your suit when transporting rather than fold. Don’t use petroleum products with your suit as this will damage the neoprene. Small tears can be repaired with neoprene cement/glue.
