THE VITALIS THERMAL IS A THERMALLY COMFORTED WETSUIT 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, which prevents water from entering the zipper and neck area. The high-thickness panels give the swimmer excellent buoyancy which helps them conserve energy during cold weather sessions.

BONUS 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.

Features:

Thermal Comfort

The excellent thermal properties of this wetsuit were achieved with its construction of up to 5 mm-thick panels together with the Thermal X inner lining. In addition, its "Batwing" hood prevents the entry of cold water through the neck and zipper areas, for increased conservation of body heat.

Elasticity

39+ and 39FS technologies are incorporated in the shoulders and underarms to improve the elasticity of this wetsuit.

High and Neutral Buoyancy

The high-thickness panels located in the torso provide a high level of buoyancy, providing more safety in open water. In addition, thanks to its construction, it has a neutral buoyancy level.

Comfort

The Thermal X inner fabric is soft and comfortable, providing great comfort when swimming in cold waters.

Composition

Neoprene: 95 %, Polyamide (Nylon): 5 %

Care instructions for longer durability

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 use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.

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

STORAGE

Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being strained for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.

The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any tension on them.

For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders, (Apex Flex or Apex Flow) it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

1) Avoid contact between the velcro and the lining of your wetsuit as this will affect the material’s sensitive fibers. Keep the velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure the velcro is fastened, so that the rough part of the velcro won’t damage the inside of the wetsuit.

2) Be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your fingernails while putting on or taking off your wetsuit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.

3) Triathlon and open water wetsuits have been designed specifically for surface swimming. We can't guarantee correct performance of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from activities other than surface swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.

4) Avoid scraping your wetsuit against any surface (especially rough surfaces), never lean on any surface with your wetsuit on.
