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.
