GLYDE Amphibian SwimRun Wetsuit

Designed specifically for the unique demands of SwimRun racing, the GLYDE Amphibian delivers the flexibility, comfort and practicality needed to perform across both the swim and the run.

Designed in New Zealand and developed from real-world experience in ocean swimming, endurance racing and SwimRun events, the Amphibian focuses on the features that matter most. No gimmicks, no unnecessary extras — just a wetsuit designed to help you move efficiently and comfortably for hours on end.

Built using highly flexible premium neoprene, the Amphibian offers the freedom of movement normally found in high-end performance wetsuits while remaining available at a more accessible mid-range price point.

The suit features a carefully balanced construction with a 2mm body and 2mm legs for comfort, buoyancy and natural movement, combined with ultra-flexible 1.5mm super-stretch arms that minimise restriction and reduce fatigue during long swims and runs.

The front zip design allows quick ventilation and temperature control during run sections, making it easier to manage body heat as conditions change throughout the event.

Storage is a critical part of any SwimRun race, and the Amphibian is built to carry what you need. A large rear storage pocket provides room for mandatory gear, nutrition or safety equipment, while two internal side pockets are ideal for gels, nutrition, trackers or other essential race items.
