GLYDE Aligned 4.0 Women's
Premium Performance Open Water Wetsuit
Designed Specifically For Female Swimmers
The GLYDE Aligned 4.0 Women's has been purpose-built around the biomechanics, buoyancy requirements and comfort needs of female swimmers.
Constructed entirely from premium Japanese Yamamoto 39 Cell limestone neoprene, the Aligned 4.0 Women's combines exceptional flexibility through the upper body with strategically positioned buoyancy through the core and legs to create a wetsuit that feels natural, comfortable and efficient in the water.
Unlike many wetsuits that simply resize a men's pattern, the Aligned 4.0 Women's has been designed specifically around female body shapes and swimming dynamics. The result is a wetsuit that supports the swimmer without overpowering them.
By combining 4mm buoyancy through the waist and legs with an ultra-flexible 1.5mm chest panel, the Aligned 4.0 creates a naturally balanced position in the water without producing the over-inflated "balloon" feeling common in many high-buoyancy wetsuits.
The suit helps elevate the hips and legs while allowing the upper body to sit naturally in the water, creating a smoother, more efficient swimming experience that feels connected rather than forced.
Whether you're preparing for your first ocean swim, training for a triathlon or chasing a personal best, the Aligned 4.0 Women's 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.
Female-Specific Fit
The Aligned 4.0 Women's has been designed specifically around female swimmers rather than simply scaling down a men's wetsuit.
The suit features:
-
Female-specific torso shaping
-
Enhanced chest contouring
-
Women's hip and waist profiling
-
Reduced lower back pressure
-
Balanced buoyancy distribution
-
Improved long-distance comfort
The result is a wetsuit that feels natural both in and out of the water while supporting efficient swimming mechanics.

The GLYDE Philosophy
The Aligned 4.0 Women's wasn't designed by a marketing department.
It was designed by swimmers, coaches and wetsuit specialists who have spent decades fitting thousands of swimmers into wetsuits and understanding what female swimmers actually need in the water.
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 specifically to help women enjoy the water, swim stronger and GLYDE through every stroke.
