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. 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.
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. The neoprene collar and cuffs can be trimmed with scissors if they extend too far. 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.
