Thermal insulation details
5.5 neoprene wet jacket mm with ventral zip.
Neoprene foam 5 mm, covered on both sides with nylon fabric. Watertight seams thanks to GBS (GBS Glued & Blind Stitched) glued/sewn assembly.
With this 2-piece wetsuit, you can choose overalls and jacket in different sizes.
Wetsuit weight (size L): 1.580 kg.
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).
Freedom of movement / Putting on and taking off the suit
One-piece suit with adjoining hood featuring the Air Expulse system: a system for evacuating air bubbles trapped in the hood.
The undergarment is fixed, and donning is facilitated by the front zipper positioned diagonally across the suit.
No seams under the armpits to facilitate arm mobility.
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 14225-1:2005).
The suit is approved CLASS 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 putting on your wetsuit
Slip your foot into a plastic bag, then tuck your leg into your suit. Your foot will come out in its entirety and without snagging!
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) 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.
