Choosing the right size
To get the most out of your wetsuit, you need to choose the right size. A wetsuit should fit snugly and there should be no visible creases. When dry, it's normal to feel too tight, but this discomfort disappears as soon as the wetsuit gets wet. If you choose a wetsuit that's too big, creases will form, chafing will occur and thermal comfort will be reduced (water ingress).
Materials
Neoprene is lined with synthetic textile for greater abrasion resistance. Neoprene thickness is 5 mm on the body and 4 mm on the limbs (arms and legs). The flexibility of the 900 range is provided by the hyper-stretchability of the foam and textile.
Hood collar
The collar finish has been designed to limit irritation. Depending on individual sensitivity, a UV top can be worn under the suit to limit the risk of irritation. We also recommend applying a greasy cream (e.g. Vaseline) to rubbing areas (neck, armpits, knees) during long periods of use.
Freedom of movement
The 900 wetsuit line features a cut and materials specifically chosen to facilitate rowing and free up maximum movement. The entire wetsuit is made of ultra-stretch neoprene. All seams are stretchable. The chest zip frees up the back during practice.
Closure / Integrated hood
The 900 5/4 wetsuit mm benefits from our integrated hood. This design keeps water ingress to a minimum during long sessions in very cold water.
The chest zip closure frees up movement while ensuring a better seal than a conventional back closure. The slider is made of stainless steel to resist the aggression of salt.
Key pocket
A key pocket is located in the front panel under the zip.
Sealed assembly
The seams are sewn and glued to guarantee watertightness and strength.
The seam is "blind", i.e. the thread does not pass completely through the neoprene, which prevents water from passing through.
To further reinforce the watertightness of the seams on our 900 ranges, they are fully braided on the inside.
The absence of threads on the inside also helps to prevent chafing.
Comfort and reinforcement patches are placed on the inside at sensitive points.
Water inlet restrictions
The ends of the ankles and wrists have sleeves to limit water ingress.
They also provide better support when using gloves and booties.
Quick-drying
The 900 5/4 wetsuit mm benefits from a new inner lining. This ensures minimal water absorption and ultra-fast drying. It can therefore be used several times a day, while still maintaining a dry feel when donned.
Multi-sport wetsuits
Our wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports.
