Equinox 5.0 Technology
FREEARMS™ 1.5mm
Ultra-flexible 1.5mm shoulder and arm panels provide unrestricted movement throughout every phase of the swim stroke. The flexible construction helps reduce shoulder fatigue and allows a natural feel in the water, even during longer swims.
FlexCore™ Chest Panel
A highly flexible chest construction designed to reduce restriction and allow natural breathing. FlexCore™ helps swimmers maintain a relaxed and efficient stroke while improving overall comfort throughout the swim.
HydroLift™ 5.0 Buoyancy System
Strategically positioned 5mm buoyancy panels through the torso and upper legs help elevate the hips and improve body position. By reducing drag and encouraging a more streamlined profile, HydroLift™ helps swimmers conserve energy and improve efficiency.
FlowAlign™ Side Panels
Contoured side panels help create a balanced and stable position in the water. FlowAlign™ works with the swimmer's natural body position rather than forcing an artificial swimming posture.
HydroBalance™ Lower Leg System
5mm buoyancy through the lower body assists leg position and helps reduce drag. This allows swimmers to maintain a more efficient body line and focus on forward momentum.
QuickRelease™ Transition Legs
Fast-exit ankle panels make removing the wetsuit quick and easy after the swim, helping save time during transitions while maintaining durability and comfort.
ComfortSeal™ Low Neck
A low-profile neckline designed to minimise neck pressure and reduce chafing while maintaining an effective seal against water entry. The result is greater comfort and unrestricted breathing throughout your swim.
The GLYDE Philosophy
The Equinox 5.0 wasn't created by marketers.
It was designed by swimmers, coaches and wetsuit specialists who have spent decades working directly with athletes, fitting thousands of wetsuits and learning what genuinely improves swimming performance.
Over the years we've seen countless technologies and marketing claims come and go. Some work. Many don't.
Our philosophy is simple.
If a feature doesn't improve comfort, flexibility, body position or efficiency in the water, it doesn't belong in the suit.
That's why the Equinox 5.0 focuses on the things that matter most: premium materials, excellent flexibility, balanced buoyancy and a comfortable fit that allows swimmers to move naturally.
The result is a wetsuit that delivers genuine performance benefits without unnecessary complexity.
Designed in New Zealand and built for real swimmers, the Equinox 5.0 helps you swim with confidence, conserve energy and enjoy every moment in the water.
Premium performance. Exceptional value. Pure GLYDE.
