High flexibility and fantastic heat capacity are the hallmarks of the Watery Gecko 3 mm wetsuit for men. A wetsuit for both open water swimmers and SUP athletes. With this wetsuit, you are therefore equipped with a wetsuit where, due to its thickness, you can use it all year round, regardless of whether it is winter or summer. We have focused on it being able to be used for both regular stays in water, swimming and for paddleboarding. The wetsuit is also a further development of our very popular Hedgehog wetsuit, where solid neoprene has been added on the belly and back, which warms more. Just as colours have now been added, here in the black/dust blue colour.
When you are going into the sea or staying by the water, the wetsuit is an essential part of the experience, where flexibility, heat capacity and buoyancy in particular are paramount. This also applies to the SUP practitioner, where you especially need a suit that allows great freedom of movement and can keep you warm on the board and also if you fall into the water.
That's why the suit is exactly 3 mm thick, which means you get an optimal combination of flexibility and warmth. The wetsuit is made of thermal neoprene, which has a high stretchability. The fact that it is thermal guarantees that you will experience increased heat capacity compared to other suits of the same thickness. Therefore, you will be able to keep warm, even in winter.
The performance in relation to swimming in open water has been one of our focus areas, which is why the suit has a fit that many triathletes and open water swimmers can nod in recognition of. This, combined with increased flexibility around the arms, increases your freedom of movement.
We have also focused on making the neck opening comfortable, so that you do not experience severe abrasions. This is done by using Korean neoprene, which provides a tight and soft connection. In addition, you can easily adjust the neck opening so that you achieve an optimal fit just for you.
Last but not least, it is equipped with a zip at the back, which makes it easy for you to open and close the suit. It is also equipped with flexible double-layer ankle and hand panels, which is especially advantageous for the triathlete as you often have to take the suit off as quickly as possible and avoid too much water getting in. So that you can close the wetsuit yourself, we have also added a string at the back, with which you can pull up the zip.

It is recommended that the wetsuit be hand-washed in cold water and then drip-dried. Therefore, do not use a washing machine or tumble dryer. Do not wash with washing powder containing bleaching agents.
To complete the look and be completely ready for open water swimming, we recommend using neoprene equipment, which covers places where the wetsuit does not and thus increases the heat in the cold water. Therefore, have a look at our Watery neoprene set, where you get gloves, socks, and hoods at a great price. You can view the entire set by clicking here.
