neoprene

Seventhwave Wetsuits are made to fit, made to perform, made to last and made in New Zealand from the world’s most technically advanced neoprene — Japanese Yamamoto neoprene — a limestone based neoprene of very high quality. Compared to traditional petro-chemical neoprene used by most other manufacturers, limestone neoprene has a closed-cell content of over 94%. What this means, in simple terms, is that limestone neoprene has a lot more air bubbles inside the rubber than other brands (over 30% to be exact), and is less dense than oilbased neoprene. These thermal and water repellent properties make our wetsuits exceptionally warm, lightweight and very quick drying.
