Size
Plain English — your first wetsuit

why it feels tight: on dry land a right-size wetsuit feels firmly snug — like a handshake everywhere. In the water it eases and disappears. It’s only too small if you can’t breathe deeply or raise your arms overhead.

what buoyancy means: built-in float. This suit lifts your hips and legs so you stop dragging them — for most first-timers that’s worth more than months of training.

putting it on: dry skin, go slow, and use fingertip pads — never nails. Nail nicks are the #1 wetsuit injury.

Description

the Fjord 4.0 represents the next evolution in wetsuit innovation and performance development by deboer. building on the success of its predecessor, the Fjord 4.0 incorporates cutting-edge advancements to deliver unparalleled comfort, efficiency, and speed in the water. attention to detail was a paramount principle when developing the new suit.

featuring a revolutionary new entry and exit system with improved paneling, the Fjord 4.0 allows for more efficient donning and doffing. the new single seam shoulder panel feels like a second skin, providing unrestricted movement and enhanced flexibility. a new carbon-inspired patterned panel in the shoulder area further improves hydrodynamics, reducing drag and increasing speed through the water. the most flexible shoulder panel in the world is now even faster, better fitting, and more efficient in the water.

the Fjord 4.0's improved chest fit prioritizes oxygen uptake and open breathing, allowing athletes to perform at their peak for longer durations. this innovative design optimizes body position and buoyancy, resulting in reduced fatigue and improved overall performance. when combined with the new neck panel, the 4.0 will allow swimmers and triathletes to have a more durable and comfortable fit when pushing the limits of their swim performance.

developed through extensive research and testing with world-class athletes, coaches, and scientists, the Fjord 4.0 represents the pinnacle of wetsuit technology. its advanced features and materials work in harmony to provide a competitive edge for triathletes and open water swimmers alike.

          get the fit right.

          a wetsuit should feel snug on land and it eases the moment you're in the water. any looseness becomes a fold, and every fold scoops water and adds drag.
