• 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 100% recycled 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. Hike or bike up to mountain tarns and hidden plunge pools and make the most of time spent in the water – ideal for swimmers, swim-runners and paddleboarders alike. A brighter contrast sleeve colour aids visibility on longer open water adventures.

Super natural performance

We’ve designed the Tarka using 2.5mm Yulex – a natural rubber foam from internationally certified deforestation-free sources. It’s a plant-based alternative to traditional neoprene for swimmers who refuse to compromise between comfort, performance and the planet.

Whether it’s a dip in the Atlantic, a swim-run loop or a paddle round a Scottish loch; rediscover the freedom that first drew you to the water.

Designer’s notes:

“Introducing our new Yulex range is something we’re incredibly proud of. The latest Yulex 2.0 materials are more flexible than ever allowing us to develop an open water swim collection using the technology without compromising performance. As a brand, we’re always looking for innovative materials which are less impactful to the planet. We’ve already used recycled nylon fishing nets in our other swimwear, so Yulex is a natural step forward in our sustainable, versatile swim range.”
