My (and your) next wetsuit

Seventhwave Wetsuits are made exclusively from Japanese Yamamoto neoprene simply because they consistently produce the best neoprene in the world. Yamamoto neoprene is:

— Made from limestone (calcaire !!!)
— Super light-weight
— Exceptionally thermal insulated
— Super stretchy
— Structured with uniquely high density cells

For over 40 years Yamamoto has set the standard for quality and innovation in the neoprene industry. Their advanced manufacturing techniques involving the use of special polymers made from limestone (as opposed to petroleum based) have led to the creation of a rubber that has a completely independent cell structure and multi-directional stretch capacity.

The closed cells are packed together at an extremely high density and each individual cell is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent water penetration and increase heat retention (!!!). The nitrogen closed cell content is over 92% — 23% higher than most competing materials — and with virtually no water absorption means the weight of this rubber remains nearly identical in wet or dry conditions, giving you more warmth than thicker wetsuits without the weight.

Because of these special qualities, Yamamoto is super durable while remaining extremely stretchy. Super low modulus stretch with optimum cell recovery ensures a lightweight material with great strength and cell memory — in short, a durable, stretchy suit, that because of its special memory, moulds to your body shape without getting loose over time.

Did we mention superstrecth? Yamamoto's highest elongation is 480-580%. Compare that to the elongation of the human skin under the arm, which is 60-70%. Just one of many reasons why Yamamoto is one of the top neoprene developers in the world.

MR7000 superstretch, SCS (Super Composite Skin) and #38 Yamamoto are just some of the many Yamamoto materials we specialise in — all designed to maximise performance, ensure you stay in the water longer, and to produce the warmest, thinnest, lightest, best fitting wetsuit.
