DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and Thermal Comfort
The Seek Core utilizes Hot_Stuff 3.0 and Silk_Stuff 2.0 linings to provide an optimal blend of heat retention and elasticity. Hot_Stuff 3.0 maximizes thermal conservation, while Silk_Stuff 2.0 offers a soft touch on your arms and legs. This ensures comfort during long, cold-water sessions.
Flexibility for Free Movement
Made from Natural Rubber, the wetsuit offers excellent elasticity and a supportive fit. The design with minimized panels and shoulders without seam allows you to raise your arms and chain movements without discomfort, useful in Surf, Kite, or Wing.
Easy Donning and Adjustment
The ergonomic front zip, complete with a One Hand Zipper and replaceable cord, makes donning quick and simple. You'll appreciate the ability to adjust the flap with one hand, saving precious time between sessions.
Durability and Water Protection
The Glued Blind Stitch construction, combined with Maki_Tape 2.0 and Seam Reinforcements, fortifies high-wear areas and minimizes water infiltration. The Water Defender Leg prevents your legs from riding up during splashes. This helps maintain warmth.
Practical Details for Daily Use
This wetsuit includes a key pocket with a loop, reinforced drainage holes, and separate leg straps. These thoughtful details simplify your life at the spot and prevent any inconveniences during your session.
Excellent Value for Money
The Seek Core 5/4 is designed for riders who demand a warm, reliable wetsuit without unnecessary complexity. Its use of Natural Rubber and advanced technical linings strikes an excellent balance between performance and price.
