deboer ventures into sleeveless wetsuits for the first time

Gran Canaria (January 16, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – deboer, a leading innovator in high-performance wetsuits, announces the launch of the FJORD 3.1, a sleeveless wetsuit engineered to redefine freedom and efficiency in the water. Building on the legacy of the acclaimed Fjord 3.0 and 4.0, the FJORD 3.1 incorporates the same cutting-edge technology and design to deliver an unparalleled swimming experience.

The suit comes as warmer water swims have been growing in popularity. Over the past few years deboer wetsuits are consistently out of the water first at events such at the Ultraman World Championships as demonstrated by 2023 Champion Simon Cochrane and 2024 swim leader Michelle Vesterby. Unique races like this can demand a sleeveless suit but deboer didnt want to enter into this market without testing to find additional improvements in speed and comfort over the competition. “The FJORD 3.1 is a testament to our commitment to providing athletes with the tools they need to excel,” says Alex deBoer, cofounder and lead designer at deboer”. “We’ve combined our most advanced materials and construction techniques to create a sleeveless suit that maximizes range of motion and thermal comfort without compromising speed or durability”

Engineered for Excellence:

• Unrestricted Movement: The sleeveless design allows for complete freedom of shoulder rotation, promoting a natural and efficient stroke. This is crucial for swimmers seeking to optimize performance and reduce fatigue, especially in long-distance events.
• Lightweight Warmth: deboer’s proprietary X-Skin neoprene provides exceptional thermal insulation in the core of the suit while remaining incredibly lightweight and flexible. This ensures optimal core temperature regulation without hindering mobility.
• Streamlined Efficiency: The FJORD 3.1 features a full-length zipper for easy entry and exit, minimizing transition times. Smoothskin paneling reduces drag and enhances hydrodynamics, allowing swimmers to glide effortlessly through the water.

Ideal for:

• Triathletes seeking a competitive edge in warm-water swims.
• Open water swimmers prioritizing comfort and range of motion.
• Swimmers and athletes who prefer the feel and flexibility of a sleeveless design.
