Armor Series bikini suit 1.5mm

Armor Series Design Language

The Armor Series bikini suit 1.5 mm starts from a design idea rather than a print: we treat armor as a grammar of sharp cuts, geometric panel lines and restrained open space. On land the suit reads clean and almost architectural; in the dim light of the water those lines outline the body and make the silhouette legible at a glance. That recognizability is deliberate. The front zip runs a clean vertical line, while the open back and high-cut leg keep the shape from feeling heavy. Panels are kept close through the waist and hip so the suit follows the body instead of standing away from it, and the leg line is proportioned to make the most of the wearer's shape. It is a piece for people who buy designer wetsuit styling because they want the suit to look considered in photographs and still make sense in the water. The same design language is carried through the range, so the Armor look stays consistent across the fit options.

Specifications at a Glance

Front Zip and Open-Back Entry

The front zip is the control point of the suit: it opens the chest panel wide enough to step in and closes with a clean, close fit once you are ready. Because the back is left open rather than stitched into a full panel, the shoulder blades and spine stay free when you reach, paddle or pull through a stroke. That is the practical reason this front zipper bikini wetsuit feels different from a pull-on spring suit: the entry is easier, but the shape still holds because the front panels and waist keep the suit anchored. The open back also lets water move away instead of pooling across the lower back, which matters on a long session in warm water. On the surface it reads as a swimsuit; in the water the 1.5 mm body and long sleeves do the job of a light wetsuit. Check that the zip sits flat against your chest when closed; if it pulls or the shoulders lift, move up a size rather than forcing the fit.

Fit and Size Range

• Start with your bust, waist and hip measurements rather than your usual clothing size; the suit has to close over the torso without flattening the chest.
• The size menu includes standard, short and tall options, so torso length and leg length can be matched more closely than a single letter size allows.
• This backless women wetsuit cut leaves the back open, so the shoulder and band fit matter more than back coverage; if the front zip pulls at the bust, size up.
• The waist should sit close without digging in, and the high-cut leg should lie flat rather than roll; check both before you remove the tags.
• If you are between sizes, choose the larger one for diving and long sessions, where a little extra room at the shoulder helps movement.
• Short and tall variants are there for proportion, not for a different body type; use the size selector to match your torso and inseam first.
• If your bust and hip measurements fall in different size bands, match the larger measurement and adjust with the zip rather than choosing a smaller suit.

Warm-Water Performance

The Armor Series wet dress is built for warm water rather than cold-water coverage: think sessions around 22 °C and above, where a 1.5 mm layer adds protection from sun, spray and minor abrasion without cooking you on the boat. It suits divers, snorkellers and swimmers who cover distance and want the suit to stay quiet through the stroke. When you fully extend your arms, the open back and close front panels let the shoulder travel without the drag of a full back panel; the result is more fluid swimming, less wasted effort and lower CO2 consumption over a long dynamic session. The core is kept close and covered for efficient warmth retention, and the long-leg style carries that coverage through the hip and upper leg rather than stopping at the waist. Advanced warm-water swimmers will notice the stability over distance; first-time wearers trying a lighter cut will notice how much easier it is to move than in a full spring suit. For first-time wearers, the sleeveless style in the Armor family is the usual entry point; this long-sleeve version adds sun and abrasion coverage for the same warm-water work. It is not a cold-water suit, so match it to the temperature and the length of your session.

Materials, Seams and Care

• Adhesive sealing bonds the panels without a stitched ridge, so the inside sits smooth against the skin and is less likely to rub along the bikini line.
• The thin panels pack flat and dry faster than a thicker suit, but they still need rinsing after saltwater and chlorine.
• The outer face has a smooth matte look with a slight sheen; rinse sunscreen and salt off before storage so the finish stays even.
• Thumb-loop cuffs hold the sleeve in place while you pull the suit on; do not use the loop alone to haul the sleeve up over your arm.
• After each session, rinse in cool fresh water, wash with a mild wetsuit shampoo if needed, and dry flat in shade.
• Avoid hot sun, radiators and sharp creases across the zip; store the suit loosely or on a wide hanger.
• Sunscreen, oils and pool water can dull the surface over time, so rinse sooner after sessions where these are present.

You May Like

If you like the Armor silhouette, the next question is usually how much warmth and back coverage you want. The Siren Front Zip Warmth Bikini/Bodysuit 3 mm is the warmer front-zip option when the water drops below the Armor's warm-water range. The TRUDIVE Open Back glide skin wetsuit Cut Bikini gives you a 2 mm glide-skin feel with a similar open-back attitude. The TRUDIVE Zipper glide skin spring wetsuit Cut Bikini is the technical spring cut, using 2 mm Yamamoto limestone neoprene with titanium coating and a front zip glide entry. For men's freediving, the Men's Glide Skin Classic Freediving Wetsuit is the glide-skin cut in the men's line. If you buy designer wetsuit pieces as a set for a trip, these four sit around the Armor Series without repeating its exact brief.

Customer Reviews

• Customer reviews on this cut are the most reliable place to check shoulder and hip fit, because the open back changes how the suit sits compared with a full-back spring suit.
• For this backless women wetsuit, pay attention to comments about whether the front zip stays flat when the wearer breathes deeply or reaches overhead.
• Look for notes on the water temperature people used it in; a thin warm-water suit feels very different on a long boat day than in a short pool session.
• Photos from buyers are useful for judging the real finish of the black and silver panels in daylight, where the geometric lines are easiest to see.
• If you see a comment about the suit lifting at the hip or pulling at the shoulder, compare it with your own measurements rather than treating it as a general fault.
• Reviews left in our online wetsuit shop stay attached to the style, so you can read feedback for the Armor Series without mixing it with other TRUDIVE cuts.
• There is no substitute for your own measurements, but a pattern of comments about sizing up for a longer torso is worth taking seriously.

Ordering & Delivery
