Proudly Presenting Waterproof's 25th Anniversary Suit, the W1 5mm/ 7mm Wetsuit

The challenge: to create a Front Zip, Fully Functional, Innovative suit with enough Technical Features to set it apart from all competitors. Also could a better suit than our award winning 20th Anniversary Waterproof collection be created?

Waterproof relished the chance to create the impossible. The faces hardened, the doors were locked and when finally opened an incredible new suit was born, the W1.

With its first appearance on the international stage, this technically advanced suit was awarded one of the most prestigious design awards in the world, the Red Dot Design Award. It seems the W1 with unsurpassed quality, unique functionality and ergonomic design, left no hesitation in the minds of the judges it deserved the "Best of the Best 2009" in the Product Design category.

So, paired with earlier winners like Nike, Apple, Adidas and Lamborghini we at Waterproof kind of feel.... well we did it again, created yet another winner!
