Watery wetsuit for men - Salmon Swimrun - Black/orange

The Ultimate Hybrid for Where Water Meets Land

The Watery Salmon Swimrun isn't just an ordinary wetsuit; it's a technical hybrid specially developed for the SwimRun discipline. Unlike triathlons, where you change clothes between swimming and running, SwimRun is a continuous movement where you swim in your running shoes and run in your wetsuit.

The Salmon Swimrun is designed precisely for this purpose: to provide maximum buoyancy in the water and full mobility on land.

Why Choose a Specific SwimRun Suit?

What sets the Salmon Swimrun apart from a classic fullsuit is its strategic cut with long sleeves and short legs. The short legs are crucial for two reasons:

1. Running Comfort: You avoid restrictions around the knees and overheating when running on trails or terrain.
2. Quick Draining: Water exits the suit faster when you transition from water to running.

The long sleeves ensure your upper body stays warm during open-water swims, while the orange panels on the shoulders make you visible to support boats and your partner.

Technical Construction and "Smooth Skin"

The suit is made from premium Smooth Skin neoprene, significantly reducing water resistance. To optimize your body position in the water, the suit features varying neoprene thicknesses (1.5 mm to 3.5 mm). The thickest neoprene is placed where you need the most buoyancy, while thinner panels ensure free arm movement with every stroke and step.

Designed for Quick Transitions

A robust YKK zipper is located on the front. This chest placement is essential for SwimRun athletes, allowing you to unzip and pull the top down to your waist during long running stretches to shed heat—without needing a partner to unzip the back.

Product Specifications:

• Type: SwimRun-specific wetsuit (Short legs / Long sleeves).
• Material: Smooth Skin neoprene for minimal friction.
• Variable Thickness: Strategic zone division (1.5 / 2.0 / 3.0 / 3.5 mm) for optimal balance between warmth, flexibility, and buoyancy.
• Zipper: Front-mounted YKK zipper for easy temperature regulation and quick transitions.
• Visibility: High-viz orange panels for increased safety in open water.

Care for Long-lasting Durability

To maintain the neoprene's elasticity and "smooth skin" surface, it's important to rinse the suit in cold fresh water after use, especially if you've been swimming in saltwater or chlorine. Dry it in the shade (never direct sunlight) and store it either flat or on a wide hanger to avoid permanent creases.

Size Guide and Fit:

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

General Fit Tips

When trying on a dry wetsuit, 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 pants one size too small; they fit you, but you’d feel they might tear if you sat down quickly. You should have full mobility and be able to zip it up easily. It should never restrict your breathing—if it does, it's too small.

Note on Our Size Guides: Measurements are taken with the suit laid flat and unstretched. The wetsuit will give both in use and in water, adapting to your body during swimming. Choose your size based on the measurements closest to yours.

How to Put It On:

1. Fully open the front zipper.
2. Pull on the legs first, ensuring the crotch is fully up.
3. Gently pull the suit over your hips.
4. Thread your arms through and adjust the sleeves.
5. Close the front zipper and feel the snug but flexible fit.
