DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and Comfort Inside
We appreciate the feel of the Hot Stuff 3.0 and Silk Stuff 2.0 linings. The large-loop structure of Hot Stuff 3.0 is excellent for trapping heat, while Silk Stuff 2.0 feels smooth against the skin and enhances the suit's flexibility. Together, they provide effective insulation for temperate waters without restricting your movement.
Flexibility and Freedom of Movement
The Seek Core 4/3 Overknee LS is built with Natural Rubber for maximum stretch. Its design features seamless shoulders and minimal paneling to reduce snag points, allowing you to move freely during maneuvers and transitions.
Easy Front Entry and Adjustment
The ergonomic front zip, paired with the One Hand Zipper system, FZ Cordlock, and a replaceable drawcord, lets you adjust the fit with one hand. We find this feature especially practical at the spot when the wind picks up and it gets colder.
Durability and Water Seal
The Glued Blind Stitch seams, Maki_Tape 2.0, and extra Seam Reinforcements significantly improve durability and minimize water entry. The Water Defender Leg cuffs and reinforced drains prevent water from flushing up your legs, keeping you warmer for longer.
Practical Details
The suit includes a key pocket with a secure loop, detachable leg straps, and reinforced drain holes on the chest and legs. These details make daily use simpler and more secure.
Sustainable Materials
This wetsuit swaps traditional neoprene for Natural Rubber, made from oyster shell powder, soybean oil, and eco-carbon black. The linings use recycled fibers, reducing the suit's environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
