The Vortex Fullsuit redefines XTERRA WETSUITS' most popular wetsuit with sleeves. It's the #1 best-selling fullsuit wetsuit in North America for over ten years and has been a Go-To for swimmers of all levels.
Ideal for athletes who want an all-around wetsuit to use while training and racing, the new Vortex Fullsuit continues to offer the perfect combination of performance, buoyancy, comfort and flexibility. The interior is lined with X-FLEX LINER 2.0, for maximum flexibility and smoother transitions, and its upgraded neoprene provides greater overall buoyancy.
The fullsuit design provides natural range of motion while racing and training, providing athletes the best output per stroke. The multi-panel sleeves are an ultra-thin 1.5 mm which provides for added flexibility and minimizes shoulder restriction.
The front of the Vortex Fullsuit is 5 mm, which is the maximum legal thickness and provides the maximum buoyancy during your swim. The back is 3 mm, for flexibility throughout each stroke. The Vortex Fullsuit continues to be updated, with over 20 different panels in the body, arms and shoulders to get you in an optimal body position.
If you are looking for speed and durability, the all-new Vortex Fullsuit is the right wetsuit for you.

United StatesI'm new to swimming in a wetsuit. I'm a 74 yr old who is by no means an expert swimmer; for the last couple of years I've been cold water plunging in the winter ,,, but have been frustrated that I haven't been able to stay in the water for more than ten minutes (live in New England) and have not been able to swim --- just bob around. I bought this suit to remedy that. The temps here have not yet reached winter chill. But I took a dip in this suit last week when the water was 55F. Came out of it without any chill at all. I will say though, that swimming in a wetsuit is going to take some getting used to. I stopped in my swim to tread water and found my legs floating to the surface. Weird sensation. However, the flexibility in the arms was great and I did not feel constrained at all during my brief swim. There was one other strange thing that I noticed: As I was walking out into the water, my butt started to fill up with ocean --- not a lot, just enough to be noticeable. I couldn't understand that because I hadn't yet gotten my neck in in the water. Only thing I could figure was that there might be a leak at the zipper. I haven't found any yet but will keep looking. Some say that swimming in a wetsuit is easier, but I found it harder. I think, as I said before, that I need to get used to the buoyancy --- how it's distributed around my body. I did find it hard to get in and out of the suit. It's really tight around the wrists and ankles. I'm going to try some lube for my next swim --- see how that works. All in all though, I love the suit. It was a good price (seems to be even less now... maybe I should have waited) and seems to be really strong at the seams. Looking forward to some real swims this winter
United StatesI swapped my small in for a medium and the fit was perfect without bunching. I tried it in 64° water and it was warm and the buoyancy was great. I have never swam in a wetsuit so this was a cool experience. When I get back from Baja, I will give it another try in the lake where I swim. I am predicting that this suit will be great once the water temps drop. Looking forward!
United StatesI have been swimming in the Vortex Sleeved wetsuit for many years now and it has been great. When my long-time QR sleeveless suit finally experienced a "fatal" rip, I needed to replace it. Because of my good fortune with my sleeved suit, I ordered the Vortex sleeveless suit. My long sleeved Vortex is a SLO (small long)...I am roughly 6' tall and weigh around 145 lbs. This size has served me well. A couple of years ago I ordered the Vortex sleeveless (SLO), in anticipation of my QR wetsuit coming to an end. I found the size to be a little small and returned it. This time I ordered the "medium" and so far so good. It's tough to be between sizes, but I think I made the right choice. *Disclaimer: So...I have not done a workout in my new wetsuit yet, but I did go in our lake and swim around a bit and it felt good. Because of the success of my other Vortex suit, I feel confident that it will be a worthy purchase. I hope you find what you are looking for. I know Xterra is a good way to go, so if you are on the fence, give it a try.
