Watery wetsuit for men - Salmon Glide - Black/orange

The Watery Salmon Glide for men is a sleek, high-performance wetsuit with long sleeves and legs, made for you if you want a snug fit designed for open water and triathlon swimming. This men's style features a classic black base with bold orange panels for a sporty, highly visible look on the water. What sets the Salmon Glide apart is its premium Yamamoto #39 Smooth Skin neoprene paired with a reliable YKK zipper—making it the perfect suit for serious swimmers.

With its fullsuit design, Salmon Glide fully covers your upper body, arms, and legs. It's the ideal pick if you’re after maximum coverage and a professional feel for open water swims.

Advanced Yamamoto neoprene for top performance
The Salmon Glide uses only Yamamoto #39 neoprene, globally respected for its super-smooth ‘Smooth Skin’ finish that significantly reduces drag. This not only gives the wetsuit a premium look but also helps you glide more easily through the water.

The wetsuit is expertly engineered with different neoprene thicknesses to give you the perfect balance between buoyancy and freedom of movement:

• 2.0 mm: At the neck and shoulders for max flexibility in your stroke.
• 2.5 mm: On the sleeves, underarms, chest, back, waist, and legs for top-notch insulation.
• 3.0 mm: At the hips, seat, and thighs to give you essential lift and better water position.

There's a classic YKK zipper at the back for easy on and off, leaving the front smooth and streamlined for less resistance.

The small but essential details that make a difference

• Quick access: The back YKK zipper makes it easy to get in and out—which is crucial during transitions or at the beach.
• Fullsuit fit: The all-over coverage keeps you warm and supported, just what you want for long open water swims.
• High visibility: The black and orange colorway isn't just stylish—it also makes you much easier to spot in the water.

Size guide & fit

Your wetsuit should fit tight to work at its best—but your choice depends on how you plan to use it. Here’s our advice to help you pick the right size:

General fit tips

When you try on a wetsuit on dry land, it'll always feel tighter than in the water. Neoprene relaxes and becomes more flexible when wet.

A handy rule: your wetsuit should feel like pants that are exactly one size too small—they fit, but you’d worry about tearing them if you sat down quickly. You should have full freedom of movement and be able to zip up the suit easily, but if it restricts your breathing it’s definitely too small.

About our size guides: The measurements are taken with the suit laid flat and unstretched. The wetsuit will stretch out with use and in the water, so it'll mold to your body as you swim. Choose the size that’s closest to your measurements.

How to care for your Salmon Glide wetsuit

Taking care of the Yamamoto neoprene is the key to keeping it working at its best. Saltwater and chlorine can dry out the material if you don’t rinse it off after use.

1. Rinse your wetsuit in cold fresh water after every swim. Use a bit of pH-neutral soap if needed.
2. Dry the wetsuit thoroughly—inside and out. Always dry it in the shade or in a well-ventilated space indoors. Avoid direct sunlight, as it’ll damage the neoprene.
3. Storage: Don’t crumple the suit. Hang it from a wide hanger or lay it flat to prevent permanent creases in the soft Smooth Skin material.

How to put on your Salmon Glide wetsuit

1. Fully open the back zipper.
2. Gently pull in one leg, then the other.
3. Carefully pull the suit up over your hips so it fits snugly at the crotch and waist.
4. Slide each arm through one at a time and line up the shoulder panels.
5. Zip it up and make sure the protective flap lies smoothly across your back.
6. Smooth out any small wrinkles so the wetsuit fits like a “second skin”.
