Pyrostretch The most advanced stretch insulation available. It retains more heat, holds less water and feels softer on the skin than the competition. A perfect balance of thermal insulationand stretch fibers.

WITH INTERCHANGEABLE HOOD $1019.00 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
Yamamoto neoprene a limestone based neoprene of very high quality. Compared to traditional oil-based neoprene used by most other manufacturers, limestone neoprene has a closed-cell content of over 94%, which means there’s a lot more air bubbles inside the rubber than other brands (over 30% to be exact), and is less dense than oil-based neoprene, making them exceptionally warm, lightweight and very quick drying.
