Thermal insulation details
Wet shorty 3 mm with back closure. Watertight seams thanks to GBS (GBS Glued & Blind Stitched) bonding. Once the thin film of water (drawn in through the ZIP) is trapped between your body and the wetsuit, there is no water circulation and therefore no water renewal.
Smooth neoprene on the ends of the arms and thighs to increase skin contact and prevent water circulation.
Glued and sewn joints - GBS
The shorty's seams are watertight, 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).
Freedom of movement / Threading
Shorty with side panels and ends in stretch neoprene (highly flexible, elastic neoprene) to facilitate morphological adaptability and maximum fit for different body shapes.
No seams under the armpits to facilitate arm mobility.
Wear resistance
Prints on the friction zones associated with the stabilizer vest (shoulders and lower back). This also helps keep the vest on the body and prevents it from sliding down the sides.
Adapted to women's morphology!
Neoprene wetsuits must be worn close to the body to be effective, which is why SUBEA has developed specific sizes for the female body.
These products are designed, prototyped and tested by women, for women!
Why use a shorty when diving?
Even in warm waters, the body will eventually cool down (25 times faster than in air).
Using a thin 3 mm wetsuit will enable you to limit this drop in temperature and enjoy your activity for longer. Beware, however, of unprotected areas of your body (shins, calves and arms) that are no longer protected from the environment (corals, jellyfish, etc.). Keep your distance!
Thermal performance class
This scuba diving suit offers thermal protection tested by the independent institute INPP (Marseille-France) to validate its compliance with the current standard NF EN 14225-1:2017
This suit is approved for water temperatures above 25°C.
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 maintaining your wetsuit
1) After each session, soak the suit inside and out in clear water.
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.
Beware of the sun, as it discolors the textile parts of the suit. Zippers can be cleaned with a toothbrush and oiled with a suitable lubricant, such as silicone grease.
