Details on thermal insulation

5.5 mm neoprene wetsuit jacket with front zipper.

With this 2-piece wetsuit, you can choose salopettes and jackets of different sizes.

Weight of the wetsuit (size L): 3.5 lbs.

GBS (glued and blind-stitched) assembly

The seams of the suit and hood are waterproof, with a glued and blind-stitched (GBS) assembly: the neoprene is glued first of all, then sewn for maximum resistance (the sewing needle does not go completely through the neoprene in order to prevent water infiltration).

Ease of movement / Putting on and taking off the wetsuit

1-piece wetsuit with an attached hood equipped with the Air Expulse system: a system to evacuate air bubbles trapped in the hood.

The crotch strap is fixed and the wetsuit easy to put on with the diagonal zipper on the front.

No underarm seams for easier arm movements.

What is a wet diving wetsuit?

This is the most common type of diving wetsuit on the market. It is not designed to keep the water out, but to trap it, so that your body then warms it up, creating a thermal buffer between you and the outside.

Made of neoprene - a rubber polymer filled with air bubbles - these wetsuits are available in thicknesses of 0.5 to 7 mm.

Thanks to their suppleness and modularity, they constitute excellent diving wetsuits.

Tips on how to get into a wetsuit

Put your foot in a plastic bag, then slip your leg into your wetsuit. You entire foot comes out without snagging!

To adjust, ask someone to blow into your sleeve from the wrist. The incoming air inflates the interior of the neoprene wetsuit, immediately separating it from your skin. You can then easily proceed with the final adjustments.

Tips on how to take care of your wetsuit

1) Soak the inside and the outside of the wetsuit in clean water after each session.

2) Clean with a bactericide solution.

3) Rinse thoroughly in clean water.

4) Dry on a wide hanger in a dark and well ventilated place.

Caution: the sun will cause the colors of the textile parts of the wetsuit to fade and speeds up the aging process of the neoprene.

Zipper fasteners can be cleaned with a toothbrush and lubricated with silicone grease
