sun safe swimwear on beach





















    In this section we give you a few clothing tips and ideas to keep you safe and comfortable. Clothing layers should be used to avoid Hypothermia. Find the right buoyancy aid or Lifejacket for your sport. Above all, enjoy your time in or on the water.

Our Amphibian Quest

    For many watersports you should be able to swim in clothes. Be it adventure sports, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, you probably won't do it just in swimwear. The right clothing will make all the difference.

    For years we've searched for the optimal amphibian outfit which allows you to jump in and out of the water all day and yet be comfortable. You basically become like an amphibian, existing in a world that sways between dry air and a good soaking. The preferred approach is to be able to go from dry land into water and back to dry land wearing the same clothes.

    Breathable splash suits come close to this ideal and provide a comfy outer layer. They can be worn all day long, in and out of the water. Wear quick drying clothes underneath on cooler days.

    Aquatic Activewear should:

  1. dry quickly
  2. provide sun protection
  3. feel good both wet and dry
  4. be windproof and breathable
  5. be comfortable in hot climates
  6. keep you warm in cold climates
  7. be practical for travelling and swimming
  8. look good everywhere

    No outfit can do all of that, but you can easily adjust it by layering several amphibian clothes, which can make the difference. Choosing the right clothes enhances your comfort, allows you to stay in or on the water for longer and keeps you ready for more fun. Try your kit before you venture out for any aquatic activity.
