More Stretch
We worked closely with Yulex and Sheico to make our wetsuit foam 20% stretchier than its preceding generation, offering more flex in the shoulders and full freedom of movement for the most dynamic performance.
Yulex® Wetsuits
Improved Fit
Optimizing stretch and flex without binding at the joints or limiting range of motion, our new suits fit better across a wider spectrum of body types and are a breeze to slip in and out of.
Lighter Weight
Our newly reformulated Yulex® material makes our new suits 5% lighter than previous models. They’re also softer and faster drying.
More Comfort
Now with a smoother feel against the skin, we’ve updated the weave of our high-stretch linings, loosening up the shoulders for those arm-noodling sessions; new internal tape has a lower profile to eliminate rashing.
Guaranteed Durability
Built to last, our new materials continue to match our standards for warmth, strength and durability — and as always, every suit we make is backed by our wetsuit warranty.
Yulex® Natural Rubber
Our renewable Yulex® natural rubber* is tapped from hevea trees that can produce rubber for up to 30 years; it replaces conventional, nonrenewable neoprene.
FSC® Certified
The raw rubber comes from sources that are Forest Stewardship Council certified by the Rainforest Alliance — meaning the trees aren’t grown on newly clear-cut rainforest land, like some of the world’s supply.
Solution-Dyed Linings
We’ve switched to black, solution-dyed interior linings and face fabric, saving 100 liters of water per suit; this is an 86% reduction in water use compared to conventional dyeing.
Less CO2
By replacing neoprene with natural rubber, we’re reducing CO2emissions by up to ~80% in the manufacturing process. Our new solution-dyed linings also reduce CO2by 96% compared to conventional dyeing.
AquaA™ Glue
Used for lamination of all fabrics in our Yulex® full suits, the water-based AquaA™ glue eliminates harmful VOCs and has the same durability as conventional, solvent-based wet-suit glues.
Recycled Polyester
Reducing the use of petroleum to make virgin polyester, the face fabric is high-stretch 85% recycled polyester/15% spandex; the thermal microgrid lining is stretchy, fast-drying 95% polyester (51% recycled)/5% spandex.
