100% Ultrastretch Neoprene – Comfortable, lightweight neoprene with softer foam and a tighter weave textile for less water absorption and better durability.
Quick Dry Lining – More lightweight inner lining with faster drying time; made from recycled polyester fibers.
Quick Dry Fiber – Fast drying, hydrophobic outer lining promotes maximum warmth.
V Foam – The most lightweight, premium foam available; significantly lighter, stretchier, and softer than standard foams.
Airprene – Core layer of air-chambered, insulating neoprene that traps body heat for optimal heat retention; ideal for chest panels and hoods where the greatest warmth is required/generated.
Texture Skin – Texture embossed rubber that provides excellent wind resistance - ideal for outer chest panels, hoods, and other areas that would otherwise lose warmth quickly.
Crossover Neck Entry – Overlapping inner front and back neck panels (underneath the zipper flap) stretch to allow extra wide, step-in-through-the-neck entry.
Drylock Wrist Seals – Exclusive "donut seal" construction keeps water out and forms a snug, comfortable seal.
Nexskin Ankle Seals – A thin band of liquid neoprene ("NexSkin") in the inner wrists and/or ankles forms an excellent seal, and helps minimize flushing.
DuraFlex Knee Panels – Contoured, durable panels that stretch with you.
47˚ - 49˚ F (8˚ - 9˚ C)
Waterproof Drylock Zips – Front entry with a short slanted 100% waterproof zipper angled along the upper chest and attached at the right shoulder to keep more water out, with a SmoothSkin hem seal on the left shoulder flap. The 3/2mm and 4/3mm (non-hooded) Drylock models feature a magnetic zip closure. 4/3mm hooded and 5/4mm hooded Drylock models feature a snap lock zip closure and pull cord/barrel lock combo along the left shoulder flap.
Fusion Seam Technology – Inner waterproof stretch Fusion taping fuses seams together - used primarily in the upper body where maximum flexibility is required.
Pressure Bonded Seams – A glued & blindstitched seam using pressure to bond panels together for a highly durable yet still flexible seam - finished with inner taping for comfort - used primarily in the lower body
