The First Wave provides ultimate comfort and eliminates restrictions often found in one-piece wetsuits. This is why the T1 First Wave is a triathlete's First Choice!

The two-piece design of the T1 Wetsuits offers more comfort and less restriction. The top and bottom are not attached. This means you have much more freedom of movement and there is no “torso-rubber stretch” or shoulder fatigue that occurs with one-piece wetsuits. All T1 models are sold as separates for a customized and personal fit. With up to seven sizes of tops and bottoms, you have 49 possible size combinations from which to choose. Other features we innovated many years ago include lower necklines and thicker rubber in the legs and hips to help float the largest bones and muscles in the body. More floatation here means more speed. T1 Wetsuits are not filled with gimmicks, just physics.

Sizing : Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance based on gender. If in doubt, email questions to contact@desotosport.com.

  • Zipper is lighter weight and corrosion resistant

Proper swim stroke includes swimming with your head slightly tilted up. Imagine how your head would be if you were reaching for something in an upper shelf of a cabinet.  That said, the snug part may require a certain "getting use to.”  The other part to know is that it will also relax a little bit over time by wearing it.  It is important that the neck be snug so that water does not freely flow in while swimming.

Whether you like to swim for exercise or are on the swim course of a Triathlon, T1 Wetsuits offer you speed, comfort and buoyancy that will make swimming pure pleasure!

    A little big in the chest and arm outs, but my size 2 is really tight in those area.

    Excellent customer service

    I had a problem with sizing of a wet suit. I contacted De Soto and the quickly exchanged it for the correct size. The whole process was so well done. I am now a committed customer! Thank you.

    Swimming warm and swimming well

    I swim year round without a wet suit ithe SanFrancisco Bay. When the temperature drops to the mid and low 50’s it gets tough. The T1 pullover keeps me warm and comfortable. It is not at all restrictive .. The support staff is very helpful iand ensuring you get the best fit. Emilio Dsoto personally helped me with any questions I had. Other members of the swim club I belong to also give the T1 pullover high marks.

    Love it

    The wetsuit fit well, and I was surprised how little water flowed thru it. The local water is still warm enough for a smaller suit, but I look forward to wearing the De Soto this winter.

    T1 Pullover and Speed Vest

    As always, the right product was shipped in very little time, and it fits perfectly. Getting ready to head to world championships in Pontevedra, Spain, where the water is cold and I’ll be swimming fast!

    My only wetsuit for many years

    I recently replaced my T1 pullover wetsuit top for the second time in about 12 years. It has fully met my needs throughout that time. It’s easy to swim in, without the pull on the shoulders of a one-piece suit, and is off lightning fast in the transitions. I’ll keep using it as long as they keep making it.

  • Perfect addition to my tri kit

    Perfect addition to my tri kit

    This makes all the difference in transition. I have a bad shoulder and removing this is a breeze.
