    Lotic Wetsuit – freedom, buoyancy, warmth. Built with Yamamoto limestone neoprene and insight from industry legend Dean Jackson, Lotic gives you the comfort, lift and movement you need for confident open water swims.

    • Balanced insulation and flexibility for efficient outdoor swimming

    • Strategically placed buoyancy lifts your legs and saves energy

    • Made from premium Yamamoto neoprene, fully recyclable at end of life

    Built to swim, not just to wear

    Lotic’s panel design gives you lift where you need it — thicker 4mm neoprene through the bum and thighs keeps your legs afloat, reducing fatigue and drag on longer swims. Meanwhile, the chest, shoulders and arms use thinner, more flexible neoprene for unrestricted strokes and a natural feel through the water.

    Glideskin neoprene across most of the suit sheds water and reduces drag, helping you swim more efficiently. It also limits heat loss better than standard neoprene, keeping you warmer for longer. Durable, nylon-faced neoprene on the calves withstands wear from rocky shores and regular use.

    Thoughtful details — like a long rear zip puller and a valuables pouch — make transitions and open water swims easier. Bright flashes on the shoulders, cuffs and neck add a bit of visibility too, without going full high-viz.

    Swimmer tested, swimmer trusted

    Cold loch. Windy beach. First dip. Lotic has helped swimmers push boundaries and find new rituals in open water.

    "Fits like a second skin... great for wild swimming, paddleboarding, sailing – tried and tested!" – Katie
    "Used in sea and loch... definitely helps with buoyancy and keeps me warmer." – Viv
    "Doesn’t break the bank and fits really comfortably." – Georgina

    Whether you’re training, dipping or just starting your journey into the wild blue, Lotic is designed to make you feel at home in cold water.

    Lower impact: built to last and fully recyclable

    Lotic is made from 100% Yamamoto limestone neoprene — a high-performance alternative to petroleum-based rubber. At the end of its life, we’ll take it back and recycle it into new neoprene products through our partnership with Circular Flow.

    And like everything we make, it’s covered by our 3 Year Alpine Bond.
