GLYDE Aligned 4.0 Men's

Premium Performance Open Water Wetsuit

Built for Swimmers. Designed for Confidence.

The GLYDE Aligned 4.0 Men's has been purpose-built to help swimmers achieve a naturally efficient position in the water through the perfect balance of flexibility, buoyancy and comfort.

Constructed entirely from premium Japanese Yamamoto 39 Cell limestone neoprene, the Aligned 4.0 combines exceptional flexibility through the upper body with strategically positioned buoyancy through the core and legs. The result is a wetsuit that works with the swimmer, not against them.

Unlike many wetsuits that rely on excessive buoyancy throughout the entire suit, the Aligned 4.0 has been engineered around a simple philosophy: balance creates speed.

By combining 4mm buoyancy through the waist and legs with an ultra-flexible 1.5mm chest panel, the suit naturally aligns the body in the water without creating the over-inflated "balloon" feeling found in many high-buoyancy wetsuits. This allows swimmers to maintain a more natural body position, reduce drag and move through the water with greater efficiency and comfort.

Whether you're preparing for your first ocean swim, tackling a triathlon or chasing a personal best, the Aligned 4.0 is designed to help you swim further, faster and with greater confidence.

Technology Breakdown

FREEARMS™ 1.5mm Shoulder System

Constructed from ultra-flexible 1.5mm Yamamoto 39 Cell neoprene, FREEARMS™ allows unrestricted shoulder rotation and natural arm movement throughout every phase of the swim stroke.

The result is reduced fatigue, improved efficiency and greater comfort over longer distances.

FlexChest™ 1.5mm Breathing Panel

The highly flexible 1.5mm chest panel allows unrestricted chest expansion and natural breathing throughout the swim.

By reducing compression across the upper body, swimmers can maintain a more relaxed stroke, improve oxygen intake and conserve energy throughout longer swims.

CoreLift™ 4mm Balanced Buoyancy System

CoreLift™ combines strategically positioned 4mm buoyancy through the waist and core with a highly flexible 1.5mm chest panel to create a naturally aligned swimming position.

Rather than forcing the swimmer into an artificial position, CoreLift™ helps elevate the hips and legs while allowing the upper body to sit naturally in the water. The result is improved balance, reduced drag and a more connected feel with the water.

This balanced buoyancy approach eliminates the over-buoyant, over-inflated feeling common in many wetsuits while still delivering the body position benefits swimmers need.

HydroBalance™ 4mm Leg Lift System

Strategically positioned 4mm buoyancy through the upper and lower legs helps maintain a streamlined position from head to toe.

HydroBalance™ promotes stability and alignment while reducing resistance and improving efficiency through every stroke.

QuickRelease™ 2mm Exit Calf Panels

Purpose-built 2mm calf release panels allow the wetsuit to be removed quickly and easily during transitions.

The thinner neoprene reduces resistance during removal while improving comfort around the lower leg.

GlideGuard™ Single-Layer Neck System

An innovative single-layer neck construction engineered to minimise rubbing and irritation around the neck.

Unlike thicker multi-layer neck systems, GlideGuard™ moves naturally with the swimmer, dramatically reducing the likelihood of chafing during training and racing.

ComfortSeal™ Low Profile Neck

The low-profile ComfortSeal™ collar creates an effective water seal without excessive pressure around the throat.

This allows swimmers to breathe naturally while maintaining comfort throughout the swim.

The GLYDE Philosophy

The Aligned 4.0 wasn't designed by a marketing department.

It was designed by swimmers, coaches and wetsuit specialists who have spent decades fitting thousands of wetsuits and helping swimmers perform at their best.

Every panel, thickness and technology has been selected for a specific reason. If it doesn't improve comfort, efficiency, body position or confidence in the water, it doesn't belong in the suit.

No gimmicks.

No unnecessary features.

Just premium materials, proven technology and a wetsuit designed to help swimmers enjoy the water, swim stronger and GLYDE through every stroke.
