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.
New Features:
- Zipper is lighter weight and corrosion resistant
- Less-toxic bonding agent for people with skin sensitivities
- Interior 4-way stretch nylon-spandex has a higher thread count than any other brand for more stretch and durability, faster drying, and to minimize chafing
Favorite Features Remain:

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.
This model is an affordable option that is perfect for sprints, warm water races, and pool 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!

Rachel1 year agoa starting point
I am a uniquely shaped woman and finding any wetsuit that fit has been a challenge. I tried on and swam with De Soto 2 piece and they are great quality pieces. They are the closest thing to perfect I have found. So I got to work... I trimmed the torso on the long john piece 5 inches, reattached, secured, and waterproofed that connection. I then trimmed another 3 inches off the legs. The top I choose is the speedvest sleeveless option. I trimmed the neck down. I trimmed the top up 5 inches, created a new zipper stop, and secured every stitching line. I used this wetsuit for the Steelhead IM 70.3 2023 and it worked quite well. But I did note that my shoulders need to be taken in a bit closer to my neck- too much material on top of my shoulders while swimming. I also need to add a dart to the chest and back to create a smaller arm hole. I am an accomplished seamstress and did research before undertaking this task. Thanks for the basic outline and great material to work with.
