Natural Performance

The ocean is a natural performer. Frank Solomon has the gift, too. South Africa.

Sacha Specker

Neoprene-free natural rubber wetsuits by the first company to make them. Developed in 2012. Refined for today.

We removed seams from high-stress areas to dramatically increase stretch, durability and performance.

Re-engineered Gerry Lopez camo thermal lining facilitates warmth and flex while remaining quick to dry.

Tapped from hevea trees that can produce rubber for up to 30 years, it replaces conventional, nonrenewable neoprene. 85% Yulex natural rubber, 15% synthetic rubber by polymer content.

The raw rubber comes from sources that are Forest Stewardship Council® certified by Preferred by Nature™. Meaning the trees aren’t grown on newly clear-cut rainforest land, like some of the world’s supply.

Apparel workers are among the lowest-paid employees in the world. Partnering with Fair Trade USA means the people who make our wetsuits earn a premium for their labor.

Our wetsuits are also built using ingredients from old, retired Yulex suits, a first for the wetsuit industry.
