Our most flexible open water wetsuit with a natural, low-buoyancy feel that lets you swim your way - ideal for swimmers who switch between breaststroke and front crawl.
Designers notes: why choose the Terrapin
"Terrapin is built for wild waters, from cold tarn dips to longer lake swims. Carefully placed zones of 3mm and 2.5mm Smoothskin help you glide through the water and give valuable warmth without excess buoyancy, allowing your body to stay balanced.
That balance makes a real difference if you swim breaststroke as well as front crawl. Where many wetsuits are designed to lift your legs for freestyle, we've designed the Terrapin to keep you level, letting you move naturally through each stroke."
Explore Terrapin for comfort, warmth and a natural-feel connection with the water.
From quick dips after a paddle to longer swims in open water, these pieces are designed to keep you comfortable when the water temperature hasn't quite caught up with the season.

"Great wetsuit. Just right for paddle boarding and messing about in the sea with the kids. Not too thick and a good fit. "
"Keeps me warm on my morning river swims, easy to put on / off, good storage pockets and really good value compared to bigger brand equivalents- would recommend!"
"I bought this bag to use as a daysack when through hiking. It's light and folds up small, plus being waterproof, it's great to carry your kit when paddling. I took it on a 7 mile SUP paddle, it fitted nicely on the front of my board and everything stayed dry. Plus it has a built in sit mat - what's not to like?" - Catherine
