Advanced Yamamoto neoprene for ultimate speed
The Salmon Glide stands out with its construction using Yamamoto #39 neoprene, which with its Smooth Skin finish ensures minimal water resistance and a clean look. This technical material gives the suit a smooth appearance preferred by many, significantly enhancing your glide through the water.

For optimal freedom of movement and buoyancy, the suit features strategically placed neoprene thicknesses:

• 2.0 mm: Positioned at the neck and shoulders for maximum flexibility with each swim stroke.
• 2.5 mm: Used on sleeves, underarms, chest, back, waist, and legs for optimal balance and insulation.
• 3.0 mm: Strategically placed at hips, seats, and thighs to lift the lower body and ensure the most efficient swimming posture.

The Watery Salmon Glide is equipped with a classic YKK zipper at the back for easy entry and exit while keeping the front completely streamlined.

Size Guide and Fit:

A wetsuit should fit snugly to function correctly, but the choice depends greatly on its intended use. Here’s our guide to choosing the right size:

General fit advice

When trying on a wetsuit "dry" on land, it will always feel tighter than in the water. Neoprene expands slightly and becomes more flexible once wet.

A good rule of thumb is that the suit should feel like a pair of trousers just one size too small; they fit, but you feel they might tear if you sat down quickly. You need full mobility and should be able to zip it up without trouble, and the suit should never restrict your breathing—if it does, it's too small.

Note about our size guides: Measurements are taken with the suit lying flat and unstretched. The wetsuit will give slightly with use and in water, adapting to your body while swimming. Choose a size based on the measurements closest to your own.

How to best care for your Salmon Glide wetsuit

To maintain the flexibility and durability of the Yamamoto neoprene, proper care is crucial. Salt and chlorine can damage the material if not properly maintained.

1. Always rinse the wetsuit in cold fresh water after each swim. If needed, use a small amount of pH-neutral soap.
2. Dry in a well-ventilated area until completely dry on both sides. Avoid direct sunlight as it can damage the neoprene structure.
3. Storage: Do not fold the suit tightly. Hang it up or store it flat to prevent permanent creases in the sensitive Smooth Skin material.

How to best put on and take off your Salmon Glide wetsuit

1. Fully unzip the back.
2. Insert one leg, then the other.
3. Gently pull the suit over your hips, ensuring it fits correctly and snugly at the waist.
4. Slide your arms through one at a time, making sure sleeves and shoulders fit perfectly.
5. Zip up the back.
6. Ensure the suit lies smoothly against your body without folds to prevent water intake.
