Yes. Blueseventy has cut wetsuits specifically for female swimmers since 2014, when the Femme Fit system expanded to cover every women’s suit in the line. A women’s wetsuit is not a smaller men’s suit with a different colorway. The pattern shapes are different where it counts: bust, torso, hips, neckline, and zipper.
Why a women’s specific cut matters
A wetsuit that fights your body costs you energy. If a suit is too tight across the chest, breathing feels shallow. If it gaps at the lower back or rides up, cold water flushes through. If the neck sits too high, it chafes after a few hundred strokes. Women’s torsos are proportionally longer relative to leg length than men’s, and hip-to-waist ratios differ. A unisex suit averages those differences away. A women’s specific suit builds the shape into the panels from the start.
What Femme Fit actually changes
Every Blueseventy women’s wetsuit uses the Femme Fit pattern. The modifications are practical, not cosmetic:
- The bust and torso panels follow a woman’s shape, so the suit wraps without compressing the chest or pulling across the back.
- The neckline sits lower, which stops the collar from rubbing against the throat during the arm recovery phase of the stroke.
- The zipper is longer. That makes it easier to get the suit on and off, especially across the hips, and it shaves seconds in T1.
- The wrists and ankles are sized to reduce water entry without cutting off circulation.
These changes apply to the full women’s lineup, from the $325 Sprint to the $995 Helix. The neoprene and buoyancy technology are identical to the men’s counterparts. Only the cut is different, and the cut changes how the suit moves with you for the whole swim.
Finding the right model for your swim
The model you pick depends on your training rhythm, race distance, and water temperature.
First-timer or one sprint triathlon. The Sprint ($325) gives you the buoyancy and body position improvement without the complexity. It is built from durable Yamamoto neoprene that forgives a learning curve on donning and care. The Fusion ($420) is a step up, with a redesigned lower neckline from 2021 and a feel that rewards swimmers who train once a week.
Frequent open water swimmer. If you are in the water every weekend or logging long lake sets, the Reaction ($680) uses higher-grade neoprene that balances flexibility with durability. For water below roughly 58°F, the Thermal Reaction ($785) adds a zirconium jersey lining that holds body heat noticeably better than a standard suit.
Warm water or shoulder freedom. When water climbs past 70°F, a full suit can overheat you on longer outings. The Reaction Sleeveless ($395) removes the arm restriction entirely and remains a popular choice for established swimmers who want hip lift without shoulder fatigue.
Race day. The Helix ($995) is the flagship. Its arm and shoulder panels use the most flexible Yamamoto neoprene in the line, plus a permeable catch panel on the forearm that keeps your feel for the water intact. The brand will tell you directly that this suit is not built for heavy training; the thin neoprene needs mindful handling. Save it for the races where every second matters.
Every model ships with a sizing chart that maps height and weight to specific suit sizes. The range covers a spread of body shapes beyond a basic small-medium-large.
Try it in the water with confidence
A wetsuit should feel snug on dry land, almost uncomfortably tight in the shoulders when you first pull it on. That tightness eases the moment you enter the water. Blueseventy’s return policy reflects this: you can swim in your new suit, and if it is not right, you can exchange it or return it within 30 days. The suit needs to be clean, dry, and unaltered. Tags stay on. Swim your test swim. That policy takes the risk out of buying online.
For women who have put up with ill-fitting unisex suits, the difference is immediate. The neck does not claw at your throat. The chest expands fully when you breathe. The lower back seals without a gap. Those are the things that let you focus on your stroke instead of your gear.
