We did our research much more thoroughly than any of our competitors. What we know, and what you need to know is, according to USAT regulations, there is no limitation as to the thickness of wetsuit rubber. That’s right, there is no limit. This has been the case for more than 20 years. This means the common misperception that the limit is 5mm does not apply to almost all races in the USA and to many races worldwide. De Soto is the first company in the world to offer what is now indisputably the fastest and most buoyant wetsuit in the world!

We have developed a wetsuit that contains Yamamoto #39 –SCS rubber with panels of 2mm, 5mm, 8mm, and 10mm thickness in specific locations to maximize speed, flexibility, and ease of removal, while keeping you warm without overheating.

Water Rover Pullover

• 2mm: Our most flexible rubber is found on the entire torso, neck and shoulders. As with all T1 Wetsuits, maximum reach, shoulder flexibility and arm rotation are reached.
• 8mm: Found only on the arms from the triceps to the wrists. This thickness creates a larger surface area with which to push water. The thick arms also create an additional level of surface buoyancy during the reach and glide phase of the swim stroke. We are the first to offer this..
• 5mm: These special panels on the forearms simplify the donning and removal of the Water Rover. On the forearms, the 5mm to 8mm seam creates a step that becomes a bigger “paddle” with which to push water.
