All-year round eco-friendly wetsuit made for every watersport: Lightweight | Max Warmth | Ultra Flex

Story

*Every 15 days we will send a post-purchase survey to choose your preferred color, size and shipping info.

 

 

 

Thanks to our world-class wetsuit expertise, we have crafted a product of the finest quality with an amazing design, and have produced it with the best low-polluting materials. We are delighted to say that TURTL PROJECT produces the most versatile wetsuit you will ever find at an accessible price.

 

 

Galapagos Wetsuit has been designed and tested for, but is not exclusive to, high-performance Surfing, Kitesurfing, Sailing, Windsurfing, Paddle Surfing, and Wakeboarding.

 

 

Wetsuit ranges reinvented. Why having a shorty wetsuit, a long-arm springsuit, a long john, a 5/4/3mm and a 3/2mm wetsuit if you can have a fullsuit for all year long.

 

 

 

Unlike traditional wetsuits, our eco-friendly alternative avoids harmful petroleum-made neoprene as well as it reduces significantly the carbon footprint in the production process.

 

 

 

Amid a monopolized wetsuit market by large brand names, high margins at quality’s cost, and no environmental commitment, Turtl Project’s effort is to deliver high-quality products with the lowest possible CO2 emissions at reasonable prices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Within a 90% monopolized wetsuit industry, with full control over pricing, high margins at quality’s cost, and taking advantage of sustainability to increase prices, Turtl Project wants to offer better-quality and sustainable-only products at a honest accessible price. 

 

 

 

 We have successfully crafted a watersports’ wide-ranging wetsuit and appropriately tested it to fulfill all needs of current water men & women:

 

 

Thanks to our successful configuration, based on the right blend of fabrics and the perfect equilibrium of thicknesses, we have been able to create the most versatile Wetsuit. This way you can avoid having a wetsuit for each season without compromising any feature.

 

 

There is not a 4/3mm Wetsuit standard in the market, with diverse and inefficient distributions of thicknesses which limits its target weather conditions ranges.

Our formula is simple: full 4mm (+ thermal lining) torso and 3mm limbs of the best and stretchier limestone neoprene which allows us to encompass the widest range of conditions.

 

 

 

 To efficiently reduce our production carbon footprint, we decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign as this is a more sustainable approach, optimally producing according to actual demand, and hence, avoiding overproduction.

 

 

 

 We selected suppliers that have been Bluesign certified and/or comply with the Standard 100 OEKO-TEX label, which makes our world-class wetsuits respectful for the environment. They have successfully undergone harmful chemicals laboratory tests, besides they comply with ethical and child-labor-free production procedures, not to mention the high quality of the fabrics which makes it a wetsuit of superior durability.

 

 

Our premium wetsuits are exclusively produced in a greater sustainable alternative neoprene which not only avoids harmful refined petroleum in the production process but also gives revolutionary flexibility, lighter overall weight, and incomparable heat insulation.

 

 

 

 

 

 Turtl Project cares about our endangered marine ecosystems, and as you may guess, we care about Sea Turtles. In order to better validate our commitment with our Oceans, we will be giving a % of all pledges to the conservation of Sea Turtles through CRAM: a Foundation for Conservation and Restoration of Marine Species.

 

 

 

 We have also created an essential and innovative travel bag to easily bring your fresh Galapagos Wetsuit back home after your session without pouring a single drop of salty water in your backpack.

 

Introducing our brand-new water-resistant bag to pack your wet wetsuit. No more travel hassle assured!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Through this campaign, all our backers will exclusively receive a Mesh Bag made of GOTS Organic Cotton.

 

Get it with an Early Bird discount for a limited time only. Get your Galapagos Wetsuit before anyone else, and at the lowest price.

 

 

 As part of our commitment to climate positivity, all shipping will be sent by carbon neutral options when available, or by postal services, which use existing routes (as opposed to express shippers) and are the most environmentally friendly way to get a package to your door.

 

 

All Shipping fees will be collected separately in the post-purchase survey.

 

 

To all Backers: We will ship your Galapagos wetsuit worldwide via trackable post.

 

Please note that no duties & taxes policy only applies to the EU in all packs and US/Australia/New Zealand in some pledges. Other region backers may be charged import duties upon arrival, dependent on your country’s import policies. 

 

*Shipping charges above are estimates, final shipping charges will appear on the post-campaign survey and may vary slightly from these estimates.

 

Disclaimer: in case unexpected duties arises, the client will be fully responsible.

 On average, 26% of a garment’s environmental impact happens after-purchase, and has a lot to do with how we take care of our clothes as well as the resources used for washing them.

 

 

Here you have our reccons to look after your wetsuit and make it last!

 

 

Once your wetsuit is done, don’t get rid of it. At Turtl Project we introduced a downcycling program to give a second life to those old or broken wetsuits you no longer use. Learn more at:

 

 

 

 

Please consider Product Delivery as an estimate that may be delayed due to the current challenging times in the logistics sector.

 

 

 We are a team of Business & Engineering graduates, Former Professional Sailors and World Champions. Together we have a lifetime experience in the watersports industry and a true love for the Ocean. It doesn’t matter how, you can find us on the water either surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing or sailing.

 

 

 Our idea came from a very simple statement: to disrupt the market by creating a high performance wetsuit minimizing its environmental impact. For this reason, we have come together and have spent more than a year designing and testing to get the best all-round wetsuit you will ever find at an accessible price.

 

 

Turtl Project is on a mission: to keep our playground safe while we enjoy the ocean!
