Thermal insulation details
One-piece wet suit 5 mm with ventral closure. Neoprene foam 5 mm, covered on both sides with nylon fabric. Watertight seams thanks to GBS (GBS Glued & Blind Stitched) glued/sewn assembly.
The suit features printed knee reinforcements to limit wear.
Glued and sewn joints - GBS
The seams of the wetsuit and balaclava are watertight, assembled using GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched): the neoprene is first glued, then stitched for added strength (the needle doesn't go all the way through the neoprene to prevent water infiltration).
Double zipper system (Banana) for easy removal of the suit!
Exclusive Banana front and back double-zip system SUBEA (PCT/FR2017/050790). A zip is added along the top of the spine to the head to facilitate unzipping of the suit when open. This frees up the shoulder line, making it easier to remove the arms. The system has been universally acclaimed for its simplicity and effectiveness!
Freedom of movement and suit donning
One-piece suit with attached hood featuring the Air Expulse system: a system for evacuating air bubbles trapped in the hood. Easy donning thanks to a diagonal front zip. Two zips at the ankles facilitate foot passage. No seams under the armpits to facilitate arm mobility.

What is a wet suit?
This type of wetsuit is the most common on the market. Its purpose is not to act as a barrier to the water, but rather to trap it and allow your body to warm it up, creating a thermal buffer between you and the outside world. Made from neoprene - a rubber polymer filled with air bubbles - these wetsuits come in thicknesses from 0.5 to 7 mm . As such, they make excellent diving suits because they are flexible and modular.
Tips for putting on your wetsuit
Slip your foot into a plastic bag, then tuck your leg into your wetsuit. Your foot will pop out fully and snugly! To adjust it, ask a third party to blow into your sleeve from the wrist. The air intake inflates the inside of the neoprene suit and instantly lifts it off your skin. You can then easily make final adjustments.
Tips for maintaining your wetsuit
1) After each session, soak the suit in clear water on both the inside and outside.
2) Use a bactericidal solution to sanitize.
3) Rinse well in clear water.
4) Dry on a wide hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Caution: the sun discolors the textile parts of the suit and accelerates the aging of the neoprene. Zippers can be cleaned with a toothbrush, and lubricated with silicone grease.
