Yamamoto Neoprene
At Nineplus we only use the top & bottom surface areas which naturally are smooth from the rubber moulds. This is resistant to both the wind, water and when used with blind-stitching forms an impenetrable barrier against the elements. This is the main reason Nineplus uses smooth-skin. The neoprene sheets are then around 30cms thick with the inside being known as ‘foam’. The ‘foam’ is sliced into various mm thicknesses (5mm, 4mm, 3mm etc) and then sandwiched within stretch nylon (what regular wetsuits are made from). The softer the inside cell and the more elastic the nylon the more stretch in the neoprene.
The Classics
The iconic Nineplus Ladies catsuit in 3/2mm. We started making this model of wetsuit in 2002 and were probably the first brand to put the zip in the front of the wetsuit which had not been done since the men's suits of the 1970's. We did this when other companies thought we were crazy and it would never work. The reason we did was we wanted to differentiate the ladies and men's wetsuits and felt that the aesthetic created and extenuated the ladies figure. In 2015 we changed the torso and not only increased the zipper length but also made the bodice using 8 separate pieces of neoprene copying a ladies 1920's corset. This created not only a very great fit but also a very flattering effect and accentuated towards more feminine style. There is a small panel behind the zipper of 2mm neoprene so its still comfortable to lay on. Also features small ankle zippers to help with getting the wetsuit on and off after a surf and an increased neck pull to create a tight closure if required.
