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.

The Speedtube and all individual T1 Wetsuit pieces are completely legal under the rules set by ITU, WTC, USAT and all other governing bodies. It can only be worn in races that permit wetsuits.
The two-piece design of the T1 Wetsuits offers 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.

United StatesGreat Product
I hate the restriction of a full suit on my swimming so I gave the speedtube a shot. It fit and worked great. I would recommend to any ocean swimmer who wants to add a little warmth and buoyancy to his/her swim.
United StatesThey work.
They work well.
United StatesExcellent Product
Works fantastic!
United StatesT1 Speedtube
This is my second T1 Speedtube. I had one for years that I just eventually wore out, probably by letting the ocean water eat it away. There was no question that I was going to replace it with the same thing. I get plenty of lower body buoyancy, and plenty of warmth. I've worn this without anything on top through several winters in La Jolla, and it does the trick.
United StatesPerfect
I get extremely claustrophobic in a wetsuit and usually end up unable to breathe or wheezing. I’ve been wearing swim skins instead. I decided to give these a try to give myself the wetsuit edge most other triathletes have, and I couldn’t be happier. These provide the perfect leg flotation and balance with non of the concern for upper body constriction—and are MUCH faster to strip than a full suit. I’m so happy DeSoto provide a two piece option.
