Construction

Neonseam

Panels are glued and blindstitched and finished with a 4mm razor thin coloured liquid silicon based urethane. The result being a strong yet flexible seam that is watertight and durable whilst reducing the abrasion to skin. 

Liquidseam

Panels are glued and blindstitched. The seam is then sealed using a coloured liquid silicon based urethane which reinforces the seam giving each suit a 100% water seal.

Blindstitch

Panels are double glued and then butted together followed by stitching that does not penetrate all the way through the neoprene. Inside the wetsuit, heat welded tape goes over the seams in high stress areas, this further strengthens the seams.

Flatlock

Neoprene is lapped together and then stitched, this creates a flat, flexible and comfortable seam. Flatlock stitching can be identified by a band of interlocked thread on both sides of the wetsuit, sometimes utilising a coloured thread for visual effect.

Neotape

NEOTAPE Thermo Seam Tape: 4-way stretch, lightweight, durable glideskin interior seam tape creates an even better seal that keeps warmth in and water out. The tape is either gold or black glideskin.

Aero-comb

Aero-Comb minimises weight while maximising its internal area, this space allows trapped air to heat up and insulate your core.

Snakeskin

Durable, water repellant and anti-abrasive membrane applied to outer nylon. This technology is guaranteed to be harder wearing, absorb less water and contain quick drying properties.

Mesh

Optimum core wind chill protection by absorbing solar heat and reducing evaporative cooling.

G-Tape

Inner waterproof X-Flex taping fuses seams together for additional reinforcement.

Glide Skin

Glide skin seals allows you to slip in and out of your wetsuit with ease and comfort.The flexible rubberised coating means you won’t get painful rubbing around your neck, allowing you to surf all day without irritation.

G-Tape

G-tape: fused seams offer additional reinforcement creating a longer lasting boot.

Recoil

Recoil: is a 3D print band positioned over the top of the foot.This acts in a similar way to the retinaculum that helps keep your tendons in place, preventing rolling of the foot.

Leash Guard

Leash Guard: has been added to the flexor to prevent annoying leash jams.

H10 Sole
