The Competition 5/4 hooded zipperless wetsuit is crafted for very cold water and chilly windy days. Made in ultra-light and extreme flexible LP neoprene, it offers unique comfort, excellent water resistance and heat retention thanks to the Limestone formula, also resulting in a more environmentally friendly fabric. Glued and blind stitched seams are reinforced on the outside with Liquid Seal and on the inside by ultra-flexible seam tapes. The hood is covered inside with soft thermo lining and the outshell is made in super soft and comfortable glide skin. The inside of the suit is equipped in the torso area with the new Deeply Graphene FastDry lining. Graphene is a material that was rediscovered and isolated by scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov in 2004, after being first discovered in 1962. Graphene wrapped yarns allow to maintain the warmth for longer times than normal lining made in hollow fibers. It also reproduces heat through the body movements, being always comfortable for long and cold surf sessions. Its drying properties are excellent, ensuring also that the suit dries quickly so that it can be used several times throughout the day. The suit’s outer coating is ultra-soft and stretchy. High density kneepads and seamless areas under the arms ensure effective protection and paddling without restrictions.
The neoprene foam memory recovery is improved making the wetsuit durability longer. The wetsuit first try will result in a tight feeling and it will need 2-3 surf session to perfectly adapt to the body. Always remember that the wetsuit must be really fit to the body to perform correctly.
