Thermal insulation details
5.5 neoprene wet overalls mm
5 mm neoprene foam, covered on both sides with nylon fabric. Watertight seams thanks to GBS (GBS Glued & Blind Stitched) glued/sewn seams.
This 2-piece combination lets you choose dungarees and jackets in different sizes.
The dungarees feature printed reinforcements to limit wear on the knees.
Glued and sewn joints - GBS
The dungarees' seams are waterproof, assembled using GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched): the neoprene is first glued, then sewn for added strength (the needle doesn't go all the way through the neoprene to prevent water infiltration).
Thermal performance class

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 suits come in thicknesses from 0.5 to 7 mm .
As such, they make excellent wetsuits, as they are flexible and modular.
Tips for putting on your wetsuit
Slip your foot into a plastic bag, then tuck your leg into your suit. Your foot will come out completely and snag-free!
To adjust it, ask someone else to blow into your sleeve from the wrist.
The air intake inflates the inside of the neoprene wetsuit and instantly lifts it off your skin. You can then easily make final adjustments.
Tips for maintaining your wetsuit
1) Soak wetsuit inside and out in clear water after each session.
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.
