DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and quick-drying
The Graphene Plush 2.0 lining covers the body, delivering an increased feeling of warmth while speeding up drying. You'll quickly notice the difference between sessions: less initial chill and more consistent thermal comfort, even as the water cools.
Freedom of movement
Recycled Max_Flex on the torso and Hot Stuff 3.0 on the sleeves minimize neoprene resistance during exertion. Whether you're doing a waterstart or executing maneuvers, your arms remain free, and muscle fatigue is significantly reduced.
Watertightness and durability
Featuring 90% stitchless seams and Maki_Tape 2.0, this wetsuit effectively prevents water entry. The glued/welded assembly and external reinforcements ensure long-lasting durability, even with intensive use.
Lighter, more responsible materials
Ultralight_Foam neoprene incorporates oyster shell powder, reducing the wetsuit's weight without compromising insulation. Every material choice aims to deliver peak performance with a reduced environmental impact.
Practical finishes
The front zip cut combines ergonomic design with reduced water flushing. You'll also find practical details like a key pocket, drainage holes, and a replaceable drawstring for a customizable closure.
When to use it
Engineered for water temperatures around 10-15 °C, this 4/3 wetsuit is your go-to for sessions where warmth and flexibility are paramount. It's ideal for extending your cold-water outings without feeling weighed down.
