High flexibility and fantastic heat capacity are the hallmarks of the Watery Gecko 3 mm wetsuit for women. A wetsuit for both open water swimmers and SUP enthusiasts. 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 to be 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 retains more heat. Colours have now been added, here in the black/dust pink 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.
This is why the suit is precisely 3 mm thick, meaning you get an optimal combination of flexibility and warmth. The wetsuit is made from thermal neoprene, which is very stretchy. The fact that it is thermal, guarantees that you will experience increased heat capacity compared to other suits in the same thickness. As such, 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 collar itself comfortable to wear, so that you do not experience severe chafing. This is achieved by using Korean neoprene, which provides a tight and soft closure. In addition, you can easily adjust the collar so that you achieve an optimal fit just for you.
Last but not least, it also has 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 particularly advantageous for the triathlete as you often have to take the suit off as quickly as possible, and avoid getting too much water inside the suit. To make it easy for you to 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 is hand-washed in cold water and then drip-dried. Thus, 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. So, have a look at our watery neoprene set, where you get gloves, socks, and hoods at a great price. You can see the entire set by clicking here.
