Tarka is an active shorty wetsuit for open water swimmers, swim-runners and paddleboarders who want unrestricted movement both in and out of the water without feeling the chill. Made with 2.5mm Yulex natural rubber foam with a shorty cut for a swimsuit-like feel that deepens your connection with the water while boosting core warmth on longer swims and year-round SUP adventures. • Streamlined cut for activity in and out of the water • Lightweight, flexible and fast drying. Seam placement designed specifically for unrestricted movement • Rear zip for easy changing and reduced drag More thrill. Less chill. When the sun starts warming the air but the lakes are still freezing, swimmers and paddlers find ourselves in a weird middle ground. Swimsuit's not quite enough. Full length wetsuit feels like overkill. So we built the Tarka - short arms and legs for freedom and that feeling of cool water on your skin, with just enough rubber to warm your core. A combination of stretchy Yulex rubber and a soft nylon face fabric feels great against the skin both on dry land and in the water; with a long rear zip for easy changing at the shoreline and reduced drag when swimming front crawl. Swim, run, paddle - no change needed Lightweight, flexible, fast-drying and ultra-packable; Tarka is a great choice for those amphibious days when the air's warm but the water bites back.
Store your wetsuit flat or hang over the trouser section of a clothes hanger to avoid stretching the shoulders. Avoid folding. To maximise the lifespan of your wetsuit we strongly recommend rinsing it out with fresh cold water after every use (especially if used in the sea). If you need to give it a more throrough clean, hand wash in cold water and leave to air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash, bleach, tumble dry, iron or dry clean.
