T1 First Wave Pullover*
FWP3
The First Wave provides ultimate comfort and eliminates restrictions often found in one-piece wetsuits. This is why the T1 First Wave is a triathlete's First Choice!
The two-piece design of the T1 Wetsuits offers more comfort and less restriction. The top and bottom are not attached. This means 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 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.

Proper swim stroke includes swimming with your head slightly tilted up. Imagine how your head would be if you were reaching for something in an upper shelf of a cabinet. That said, the snug part may require a certain "getting use to.” The other part to know is that it will also relax a little bit over time by wearing it. It is important that the neck be snug so that water does not freely flow in while swimming.
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!

The quality and comfort are superb, I've purchased 10 or so of them. They started out with the sleeves being all black, then blue circles and now blue wavy stripes. I wish they were all black again. I'm not a fan of the loud sleeves. wish they were all black again. Been using a permanent black marker to cover sleeves.

This is my 2nd time getting this wetsuit. The first saw frequent use and many miles of swimming. Flexibility in the arms/shoulders makes this a fantastic wetsuit. This winter in San Diego I've been using it, along with a hood, to be able to comfortably swim in sub-59°f. open water. I NEVER thought I'd do that!

I just received my new T1 First Wave wetsuit. This is probably the 4th or 5th DeSoto T1 I have owned over the past 20 plus years. I have loved my T1 suits, but was amazed with how great it is to swim in a new one. The fit, the feel of the Green Goma and just the overall quality are outstanding. My ocean swimming buddies who have bought a DeSoto wetsuit this season on my recommendation are now true believers.. Thx DeSoto for a great product and for making it better and better over the years.

Love it‼️I’ve been swimming with the T-1Furstwave pullover for many years!Great for sun protection,warmth,compression,and even a bit of floatation‼️☀️

As with the matching bib, you’ve probably seen all of the gimmicks and “technology” going into other high-end suits. You don’t need it, I sure didn’t. First of all, my big sticking points were that I thought water could get in a 2 piece and T1 would be slow. Desoto wouldn’t have kept this for a single season if that was an issue. On the windy, chilly Oregon coast the only worry I had was sharks. If anything,it allows a bit of excess body heat to find a way out. The BEST one piece suits just can’t vent. Coming from a Roka maverick pro and X, both of which I liked, nothing but upsides. I’ve been a big fan of this company through a long weight loss and health transformation (I train in nothing else at this point) and the T1 line is no exception. Just plain WORKS. No big marketing campaign, no high profile paid endorsements, just a well designed suit that gets minor tweaks every now and then based on real feedback.
