Black Pearl Pullover
Love it!!
How to use this chart:
Find your height and weight on the size chart. This will narrow you down to one or two different sizes.
Bibjohn: Find your waist and hip measurements in the chart for your gender. This is your Bibjohn size.
Pullover: Find your chest and waist measurements in the chart for your gender. This is your Pullover size.
OTHER FACTORS:That you may find yourself in a different size top than bottom; it very common with T1 Wetsuits. It is very simple, imagine if you tried on two different sized one-piece wetsuits. You like the way the legs and hips feel on one of them, and you prefer the way the chest arms and shoulder feel on another. Simply put, this is what we offer combined with the notion that since the two pieces are not attached, but rather they overlap, there is a telescoping range between the bottom of the Pullover and the midsection of the Bibjohn to account for a larger range of heights and torso lengths!
So remember:
If you have any doubts or concerns, or if you want more detailed help, email the following information (& a photo if you feel it may be helpful) to contact@desotosport.com or femme@desotsport.com (if you are female and would like to communicate with a woman).
A Warning About Certain Lubricants and their Affect on Fabrics: Many athletic lubricants, especially non-liquid types, (like Body Glide, vaseline, and chamois creams) work well for wetsuits, but not well for clothing. They tend to make clothing, especially loose clothing, sticky, instead of slick and slippery, and usually results in chafing. They will also damage, stain and discolor all fabrics over time. We advise against using them, and their use will nullify our warranty.

New Features:
Favorite Features Remain:
The two-piece design of the T1 Wetsuits offers more comfort and less restriction. The top and bottom are not attached. This means you have much more freedom of movement and there is no “torso-rubber stretch” or shoulder fatigue that occurs with one-piece wetsuits. All T1 models are sold as separates for a customized and personal fit. With up to seven sizes of tops and bottoms, you have 49 possible size combinations from which to choose. Other features we innovated many years ago include lower necklines and thicker rubber in the legs and hips to help float the largest bones and muscles in the body. More floatation here means more speed. T1 Wetsuits are not filled with gimmicks, just physics.
Proper swim stroke includes swimming with your head slightly tilted up. Imagine how your head would be if you were reaching for something in an upper shelf of a cabinet. That said, the snug part may require a certain "getting use to.” The other part to know is that it will also relax a little bit over time by wearing it. It is important that the neck be snug so that water does not freely flow in while swimming.
Whether you like to swim for exercise or are on the swim course of a Triathlon, T1 Wetsuits offer you speed, comfort and buoyancy that will make swimming pure pleasure!

Love it!!
The 2 piece suit is defiantly the way to go. Especially if you have a longer torso. This wetsuit is bouyant and fast, super stylish too! I absolutely love it. Fastest wetsuit on the market
This is the 4th I’ve purchased, as I can’t imagine wearing any other wetsuit! De Soto products are the best!
Worn in 50 degree water with no chilling. Great fit. Easy on/off. 👍👍 Excellent customer service
This top is great. I should have bought one sooner
This product is comfortable and high quality. I just wish they were all black without the graphics, like the old ones.
Terrific. The fit is great with very minimal amounts of water entering through the neck and goes right over the BibJohn bottom.
It's easy to put on and take off and works well in the water. Took maybe 2 swims to get used to the suit but now I don't think about it. I demo'd another one piece brand and De Soto beats it hands down.
A year round ocean swimmer and triathlete training in SOCAL - I've come to rely on the durability and versatility of De Soto's T1 Black Pearl. While other brands last my partners one season the T1 lasts 3-4 times as long- making it a bargain. And the option of pairing the Bibjohn with a vest is ideal for swimmers who like to feel the water. To top things off, this new model is the most supple, comfortable De Soto yet!
The item fits well. Unfortunately due to injury I have been unable to use it yet.
Third de sota wetsuit I have owned. Best fitting, most comfortable, easiest exist of all wetsuits on the market.
I just retired my first DeSoto T1 2-pc wetsuit after more than 10 years of service, and have purchased my second suit to get me through the 50’s. DeSoto makes the best gear that outlasts any other brand that I have worn. And whenever I snag or put a tear into my wetsuit, DeSoto has always repaired it free of charge. Quite simply, DeSoto makes the best triathlon gear available. Bravo!
reviewing both top and bottom, as they work as a unit - Used both pieces in the GR Triathlon last week - far more comfortable than the 1 piece suit - bought the top a size larger than the bottom and could breath comfortably in the approx. 1 mile swim, way better than with the 1 piece. it۪s easier to get on and off than a 1 piece - and I can do the zipper myself, which is nice.
