The 'Worlds Warmest Wetsuit' - made from 100% Yamamoto in 5/4/3mm neoprene. Built-in hood with a hidden back zip within the back panel for easy entry especially for those with wider shoulders. The most serious wetsuit we have ever made and has taken 5 years to design and develop using Smooth-Skin.
The W3 is beautifully produced, and does not absorb or carry water, it's a shield, body armour for a surfer in frigid waters. It is lined in zirconium throughout body and hood (the best heat retaining, water resistant, thermal insulating material on the market, period) The organ shield (front body panel) is 6mm. The hidden back zip has a quick release pull cord for easy opening of the zip after surfing (when tired). The neck opening has a triple water barrier system secured by a mini front zip. By having a mini zip it also enables the suit to have a smaller neck opening so that it prevents any water flush. Japanese leg panelling as standard to help with flexibility both surfing and going from laying down to the sitting position. Made to enable surfing in water from 3 degrees (37F) to 9C (48F) – a substantial wetsuit.

Yamamoto neoprene is not derived from petrochemicals in anyway, it is from limestone taken from the mountains within Japan in the same way concrete is made.
There is estimated to be enough reserves to last another 3000 years so it is not a limited supply resource.
Our neoprene is as environmentally friendly as possible. Not just in its makeup but mostly in the production technique which is the most damaging aspect of neoprene production.
