Description

The Vitalis Thermal is a wetsuit with a high level of thermal insulation designed for open water swimmers. It combines specific technologies for heat retention such as Thermal X technology and sealing technologies such as a second layer of “Batwing” neoprene, an extra layer of neoprene in the back that acts as a thermal barrier, reducing contact between the cold water and your skin. The high-thickness panels give the swimmer excellent buoyancy which helps them to conserve energy during open water swimming sessions in cold weather. Enjoy the convenience of the Fabric Gloves, included with the purchase of the Vitalis Thermal, which allow you to put on your neoprene without damaging the material.

  • Care guide
    Cleaning
    Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.

    Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.

FAQ's

What is the temperature range the wetsuit is suitable for?
The upper temperature for the wetsuit is 24 degrees Celsius, but the lowest temperature is based on personal comfort.

Can I wear items from the triathlon apparel range for the full triathlon?
All triathlon apparel garments are designed to be worn under the wetsuit for the swim, and to be quick drying during transition onto the bike and run.For a non-wetsuit event a swimskin can be worn over the tri suit, or a tri suit can be worn on its own throughout the triathlon, but it needs to be chosen with the distance of the race in mind.

I have had a look at your wetsuit size chart but only fit the chest and weight measurements in my chosen size. I am too tall for this size, what should I do?
The most important thing to consider when fitting a wetsuit is that the suit fits correctly on your torso (shoulder to crotch). So, if you are too tall to fit into the corresponding height measurements for your weight and chest size, but you either know that you have a long or short legs or arms, then don’t worry, your core will be warm and the suit will fit you. It may be worth try some swim booties when the temperature starts to drop.

I have had a look at your wetsuit size chart but only fit in the height and weight measurement’s, but my chest is too broad/big, what should I do?
When it comes to being too broad for our size chart (but only a little bit), the best thing to do is to go for a more flexible wetsuit which accommodates your chest or shoulders better. Unfortunately, this does tend to mean spending a bit more, but a correct fitting wetsuit makes a world of difference.
