    Terrapin Wetsuit - A natural swim, unrestricted.  Terrapin is our most flexible, free-feeling wetsuit — designed for a natural position in the water. It gives thermal protection without pushing you out of shape, so you can swim longer, stronger, and more comfortably in lakes, lochs, rivers or the sea.

    Why we love it

    • Low-buoyancy for a balanced, more natural swim position

    • High-stretch neoprene around shoulders and hips for freedom of movement

    • Premium Yamamoto neoprene throughout — fully recyclable at end of life

    Performance without compromise

    Terrapin is designed for adventure swimmers who want warmth, flexibility and ease — not excess lift. The thinner neoprene helps reduce the ‘floaty legs’ feeling and keeps you connected to your stroke. It's especially suited for breaststroke or freestyle swimmers who prefer a neutral body position.

    We've used 3mm Glideskin neoprene across the core for warmth, with thinner 2–2.5mm panels around the shoulders, hips and underarms to let you reach and rotate freely. Bright flashes on the wrists, shoulders and neck add visibility in open water. And with a long lanyard zip, it’s easy to get on and off without help.

    Swimmer tested. Swimmer trusted.

    “FINALLY a wetsuit with room for hips and legs without sacrificing height.” – Kate
    “Fits like a second skin and feels cosy for winter dips.” – Viv
    “Great value, superb fit and fantastic for swimming.” – Di
    “Not a faff to get on and flexible in all the right spots.” – Sarah

    Recyclable by design

    The Terrapin is made exclusively from premium Yamamoto limestone neoprene — a durable alternative to petroleum-based suits. At end of life, it’s fully recyclable through our Circular Flow partnership to be made into new neoprene products. Built to last and backed by our 3 Year Alpine Bond.

    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. 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.
