How to use this chart:
Find your height and weight on the size chart. This will narrow you down to one or two different sizes.
Bibjohn: Find your waist and hip measurements in the chart for your gender. This is your Bibjohn size.
Pullover: Find your chest and waist measurements in the chart for your gender. This is your Pullover size.
OTHER FACTORS:That you may find yourself in a different size top than bottom; it very common with T1 Wetsuits. It is very simple, imagine if you tried on two different sized one-piece wetsuits. You like the way the legs and hips feel on one of them, and you prefer the way the chest arms and shoulder feel on another. Simply put, this is what we offer combined with the notion that since the two pieces are not attached, but rather they overlap, there is a telescoping range between the bottom of the Pullover and the midsection of the Bibjohn to account for a larger range of heights and torso lengths!

A Warning About Certain Lubricants and their Affect on Fabrics: Many athletic lubricants, especially non-liquid types, (like Body Glide, vaseline, and chamois creams) work well for wetsuits, but not well for clothing. They tend to make clothing, especially loose clothing, sticky, instead of slick and slippery, and usually results in chafing. They will also damage, stain and discolor all fabrics over time. We advise against using them, and their use will nullify our warranty.

The two-piece design of the T1 Wetsuits offer more comfort and less restriction. Because the top and bottom are not attached, 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 more 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.
The Speedtube and all individual T1 Wetsuit pieces are completely legal under the new rules set by ITU, USAT, and WTC. It can only be worn in races that permit wetsuits.

Carry Over Features:
Made for swimmers and triathletes who:
The Speedtube™ was invented by Emilio De Soto in 2004. While he loved the benefits of swimming faster in a full wetsuit, he felt too warm and claustrophobic. After careful research and testing on how to achieve wetsuit buoyancy without losing speed, the Speedtube was born. The Speedtube floats the hips without sacrificing torso rotation and the natural stroke motion, resulting in better swimming technique. Perfect for racing, training or a replacement for your swim buoy.
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!
PRODUCT CODE: ST2
Awesome. Easy in and out. If your a strong puller these are great and also great for acceleration kicks.
Previously purchased a Black Pearl Pullover and Black Pearl Bibjohn. Great combo. Fast. Unrestricted shoulder movement. Can mix sizes (I’m a 4 top and 5 bottom). Maybe a little too hot for not-so-cold water. Purchased the Speedtube and Speedvest for training in Lake Michigan when the water temp is 70-ish. Super easy to get in and out of, doesn’t take up a lot of room in my bag, and I’m not cold on the beach when I finish a long swim. (I’m a swimming wimp when it comes to cold water.) And it still has great leg-float. So, now I have a lot of wetsuit flexibility – Black Pearl for less than 65 degrees, Speed for 65 to 75. Anything above that, I’m probably not going to use a wetsuit (for training). But I still use the Black Pearl for all races simply because it’s fast.
This is the perfect bottom for warmth and buoyancy. De Soto has very personalized customer service which is helpful for us online shoppers.
The Speedtube Wetsuit pant is beyond excellent, and fits my needs to a T. The timely personal attention and advice I received to help me make the purchase exceeded expectations. I will ONLY be working with DeSoto from here on out!
