“The 2025 Thermal is like the cap, with the orange fluff lining on the entire inside. It’s thicker than I expected and needed a couple of swims to have a better fit/feel. The first swim had the back neck ride up and run even with lots of silicone spray. By the fourth swim it was a non-issue. First swim I didn’t pull the arms up to give a lot of ripples/gathered material and thus felt constricting, but I did this on each consecutive swim and now there’s greater shoulder mobility & comfort. The lining is really soft, the water that does get trapped stays in place. I’m using this in 60deg F and my swims are so much more enjoyable not thinking about the cold. The leg length could be a little longer as I’m 5’4 and I’d rather have the length go to my ankles and need to trim if needed. The suit is beautifully made, is super cozy and I’m so happy I invested my warmth to keep swimming through the mild NorCal winter. The thermal is like being hugged by a cozy teddy bear on the inside.”
