MATUSE D'arc is a premium neoprene on which no expense was spared. In San Diego, where Matuse comes from, he knows it and is especially popular there among longboarders and fans of twin fin and fish surfs. It is well thought out, the seams are designed to fit everyone and not restrict movement. The chosen materials are expensive, but in a meaningful combination that maintains warmth and is pleasant to the skin.

Properties:

The construction of neoprene in geoflex (core) with hydrasilk (back and face) is essential. Geoflex is a limestone-based rubber that is designed to provide maximum flexibility for unparalleled comfort and to be kinder to Mother Nature. Hydrasilk is a new generation Nylon, a silky smooth material that creates a hydrophobic barrier. This barrier minimizes the amount of water absorbed into the rubber core and protects against wind, keeping you warm and dry while making the suit lighter and more durable.
There are innovative Wabi-Sabi seams around the Velcro fasteners to prevent the threads from pulling out. Seams are glued with SCS-Satin Seal Taping technology, which does not allow water to flow through. In addition, the rubber layer at the pull-down points helps to minimize water flushing. The thin layer of water in the neoprene, heated by body temperature, is maximally closed and prevents the circulation of cold water, thereby guaranteeing thermal comfort.
An easily accessible outer pocket with a key lanyard is practical. The selected materials are durable and resistant. In the knee area there are protectors with a higher foam density.

Sustainability: Every Geoflex neoprene is Fair Trade certified and contains reclaimed rubber tires, recycled neoprene and a water-based (solvent-free) adhesive. For more information on sustainability, see the brand information.
