Watery wetsuit for women - Pelican - Purple

The Pelican Wetsuit for women has immediately become our absolute bestseller for beginners and slightly more experienced open water swimmers. Here in our stylish women's model with black colours on the body and purple on the shoulders and arms for higher visibility in the water. Its great popularity comes from several unique features that have not been seen before at this low price. Flex-compound in the shoulders for maximum flexibility and effect in the arm grabs. A special difference in the neoprene thicknesses, which lifts the lower body up to the surface of the water. Equipped with speed-cuffs on the inside of the wrist. Smooth-skin surface treatment for a smooth surface that gives less water resistance, and none the least made from premium Jako neoprene, which is particularly flexible and durable against wear and fingernails.

With the typical needs of beginners and more experienced open water swimmers for great flexibility during arm grabs, a necessary buoyancy at the legs and hips as well as durability for numerous years in mind. The Pelican Wetsuit from the ground up to meet exactly these demands. With the lower price, the Pelican wetsuit is our most fitting popular choice for beginners / slightly experienced swimmers who require a comfortable and performance-oriented wetsuit for both training, competition, triathlon or simply exploring the open sea.

In a combination of thinner 2.5 mm neoprene on the shoulders, upper arms and back as well as special stretchable Jersey material in the armpit. You get the necessary flexibility to swim both crawl, breaststroke and butterfly without feeling slowed down by the wetsuit.

In the same way, Pelican is equipped with thicker 4 mm Premium Jako Neoprene on the hips, thighs, and waist, which automatically lifts the lower body up to the surface of the water. This ensures that you lie straight in the water and thus minimize water resistance and conserve energy.

Also, the entire wetsuit has a smooth-skin surface treatment, which prevents water from penetrating the neoprene and thus prevents you from getting wet on the inside and the suit becoming heavy to swim in. The water rather bounces off, which also minimizes the time needed for drying the wetsuit after swimming. The Smooth skin also lays down a protective layer that makes it resistant to nails or quick-removal of the wetsuit, which typically leaves annoying holes.

In addition to its longevity, this Premium Jako Neoprene is also particularly known for its high heat retention, which keeps the body warm in colder water, and enables you to swim longer in the water with high performance.

Therefore, the Watery Pelican wetsuit can also be used in water that is between 10 and 26 degrees. In Ireland, this is typically from mid-April to the end of September.

The small, but crucial, details for a great experience in the water

The openings at the neck, wrists, and ankles are made with special no-leak panels with a built-in lighter elastic, so that the wetsuit does not fill up with cold water inside. To still avoid discomfort in these areas, the panels are only 2 mm thick. The neckline is also lowered so that it aligns more naturally around the neck and closes perfectly with the curved Velcro closure at the back, so you avoid unpleasant chafing wounds on the neck.

To ensure high visibility towards large vessels in the water and those on shore, the Pelican wetsuit has a stylish print across the upper arm and full colour on the back of the legs. On this women's model in purple, which is one of the most visible colours under and in water.

On the forearms, the neoprene is made of speed-cuff panels that attach the water to the arms for a better feel with the water. The panels also make the arm roof more powerful when the water is pushed backwards, so you come forward.

At the back, the Pelican is made traditionally for the fastest possible removal and donning, where the particularly durable stainless steel YKK zip is pulled up from the bottom with the attached nylon cord to zip it. The wetsuit can therefore be easily put on and taken off by yourself without the need for help. In addition, the leg cut-out at the ankle is made anatomically in super-stretch neoprene, so that the wetsuit can be easily pulled off completely. To prevent the nylon cords from interfering during the actual swimming, this can be attached to the bottom at the start of the zip with Velcro.

How to take the best care of your Pelican wetsuit when cleaning and storing

The correct treatment of the wetsuit after each trip in the water is extremely important for the suit's longevity. The neoprene in the wetsuit is damaged over time by too much salt (in the sea) or too much chlorine (in a swimming pool).

You should wash the wetsuit in cold water after each use and if it has become particularly dirty add a bit of pH-neutral soap to maintain the neoprene optimally.

Afterwards, it should be hung to dry until the moisture both inside and outside is gone before it is folded up / put away. This can either be done indoors (with proper ventilation) or outdoors (but not in direct sunlight)

When the wetsuit is to be stored, it is significant that you do not just crumple it up. Instead, it should be hung on a hanger across the middle so that it does not fold on the most sensitive areas (shoulders, arms, legs) and the construction of the wetsuit is maintained.

This is the best way to put on and take off the Pelican wetsuit

1. Roll the zip all the way down the back and fold the top of the wetsuit down
2. Insert one leg and get it all the way through and then the other leg
3. With either gloves or without the use of nails, the wetsuit is pulled up in small pieces over the hips so that it sits at the waist
4. Then it is pulled up further so that one arm can go all the way through and then the other arm so that it sits completely on the body
5. At the back, you grab the long nylon cord and pull the zip up quietly all the way.
6. Closes the Velcro flap at the top and fastens the nylon cord down at the start of the zip with the attached Velcro.
