DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and comfort are at the core of this design.
The Hot Stuff 3.0 lining provides effective insulation by trapping air within its large loops. It maintains impressive stretch. Complementing this, Silk Stuff 2.0 offers a soft, smooth feel against your skin on the legs and sleeves. Together, these linings deliver lasting warmth and comfort for all your cold-water sessions.
Optimized Mobility for All Disciplines
The seamless Sweep_Cut at the shoulders and a minimized panel design give you excellent range of motion. Whether you're paddling out in the surf or maneuvering your kite or wing, this wetsuit moves with you. It never holds you back.
Construction for Durability
Glued Blind Stitch seams, combined with strategic reinforcements like Maki_Tape 2.0 and additional Seam Reinforcements, effectively limit water entry. They protect high-tension points. The result is a robust wetsuit that maintains its performance season after season.
Practical Everyday Details
Thoughtful elements like the Water Defender Leg prevent the lower legs from riding up with waves. Integrated drain holes efficiently evacuate water. A convenient key pocket and separate leg straps add a touch of practicality to your outings.
