What is Yamamoto Limestone Neoprene?

What makes Yamamoto Limestone Neoprene so great for Swimwear?

If you love wild swimming, you know how important it is to have swimwear which is comfortable, flexible, provides warmth and comes in an extended size range.

That’s why we’ve made the LongSleeve swimsuit with Yamamoto neoprene—one of the world’s most premium and sustainable neoprene materials. This swimsuit has been a labour of love, made in collaboration between us The Wild Swim Store and Yonda.

Here’s why it makes a difference in The LongSleeve:

1. Superior Warmth Without Bulk

Yamamoto neoprene has a higher closed-cell ratio than standard neoprene, meaning it traps more air inside, providing better insulation. This keeps you warmer in cold water without adding extra thickness or weight.

2. Unmatched Flexibility & Comfort

Unlike regular neoprene, which can feel stiff and restrictive, Yamamoto neoprene is ultra-stretchy, allowing for a full range of motion. Whether you’re swimming front crawl or breaststroke, or simply enjoying the water, this suit moves with you, not against you.

3. More Sustainable & Longer Lasting

Yamamoto neoprene is made from limestone, not petroleum, making it a more eco-friendly choice.

It also absorbs less water, so it stays lighter while swimming and dries faster after.

Plus, its durability means fewer replacements, reducing waste over time.

4. Enhanced Buoyancy & Performance

With its naturally high buoyancy, Yamamoto neoprene helps you stay higher in the water, making swimming feel more effortless. 

The Best Choice for Wild Swimming

If you’re looking for a swimsuit that keeps you warm, moves with you, and lasts longer, then a Yamamoto neoprene long sleeve swimsuit is worth the investment.

Less bulk, more warmth, better performance.
