Ontario has got a pretty awesome water sport scene with some bad ass chicas doing their thing!
Bobbie, Carly, Bree and Heather are avid scuba divers who were excited to try on these prototype wetsuits and pose for the camera for you. Carly even used a Truli-Mi as a base layer underneath Truli-Ful the Beautiful on a cold water (70F/21C) dive in Tobermory and stayed warm!
The professional quality photos for a new website will be complete in October when the sample sizes arrive complete with final design tweaks. If anyone is interested in doing some modelling, let me know!
Truli-Ful the Beautiful is the 5.5mm fleece-lined full coverage wetsuit that many of you have been asking for! The sleek dark grey features a classic wetsuit look enhanced with a fun sprinkling of colourful polka-dots and rich turquoise trim. $549.00
Truli-Hapi is the 3.5mm fleece-lined long-sleeve shorty, which is for all the mermaids who were looking for a bit more coverage and warmth, but loved the ease of popping on a shorty. The newest colour is a beautiful Queen Angel Blue named after the Queen Angelfish. $299.00
Be the first to own these super warm and cozy Trulis!
~ shipments will be sent in February 2019 ~
A Wetsuit for Every BODY
If you have the time, I really encourage you to read my recent blog entry to fully understand how and why I decided to take this leap of faith and actually DO something about the dysfunctional sizing system in the wetsuit world.
Over the last year I learned that ALL women struggle to find a good quality wetsuit that actually fits properly. That's right! It's not just the curvy girls! I'm talking about the athletes with bulging muscles, petite women with round bellies, boobilicous babes with long torsos, slim ladies with a booty to boot...and/or any combination of the above and more! All of these factors inspired me to kick the traditional sizing system to the curb and try something new!
Starting with Truli-Ful the Beautiful and Truli-Hapi, I am making the following changes:
- In addition to my current 6 sizes, I am adding 15 more sizes for a total of 21 sizes
- Sizes will accommodate women who wear US clothing size 0-24 (UK 4-28) and who have long torsos
- Location of the size name will move to a more discreet location on the inside front chest
- Traditional size names will be removed and replaced with inspirational women's names to signify the 21 different sizes (ENTER THE NAMING CONTEST TO WIN A TRULI!)
- No distinction between standard and plus sizes will exist
Help Me Name The 21 New Size Categories!
After much consideration, in an effort to remove the stigmas attached to traditional size names, I've decided to re-name each size category after inspiring women. I want women to feel proud of their size category! These inspirational women should be a good representation from around the world, from history, present day, are famous, ordinary, young or old. I've already picked out some names that inspire me, but I want to hear from YOU.
If I choose your suggested name, I'll give you a brand new Truli Wetsuit of your choice!
Email your Truli-Size-Mi name submissions and reasons why to mia@TruliWetsuits.com. I am looking for names of women who have left a legacy, made a positive impact, paved the way for other women, is courageous, cool, bold...you get the picture.
