We have always taken pride in building the best product possible, carefully crafting gear that is truly fit-for-purpose and built to endure. Nowhere has this been more important than in our wetsuits. Way back in 2015, we ran our first wetsuit tester programme – sending our prototype cold-water wetsuits out into our community to gather feedback from the people we knew would test them best.
In redesigning our new Shearwater wetsuits, we knew we wanted to do it again.
Sending out 100 suits to our community, we gathered feedback from hours spent in the water, feeding it all into our redesign to create a wetsuit that has truly been shaped by every session...

.... Demonstrating speed, power, and flow.
