Durability
Knee reinforcements for superior durability.
Outer reinforcement patches positioned over sensitive areas. To reinforce the joints, they are braided at sensitive points.
Melcro-taped: inner reinforcement of seams in delicate areas
Taped seams with a GBS glued and blind-stitched assembly.
The seams of the suit and hood are waterproof, with a glued and blind-stitched (GBS) assembly: the neoprene is glued first, then stitched for maximum strength (the needle does not completely pass through the neoprene to prevent water infiltration).
Multi-thickness
The wetsuit features 5 mm neoprene on the chest.
4 mm on the upper leg, with 3 mm and 2.5 mm Supratex through the rest of the leg.
This multi-thickness construction provides the necessary comfort and ergonomics for canyoning
Limitation of water ingress
The ends of the ankles have silicone stoppers that limit water ingress.
They also provide better support when using socks
Thermal insulation details.
LongJohn-style wetsuit with 5 mm neoprene on the chest.
4 mm on the upper part of the legs.
Once the film of water is trapped between your body and the jacket, no more water is able to circulate and so the water is not replenished.
The interior of each leg features a skirt (inner stop water) to prevent water being exchanged and warm water being transferred away from the body.
Tips for looking after your canyoning suit?
1/ After each session, soak the wetsuit in clean water, on the outside and the inside
2/ Use a bactericide solution to sanitise
3/ Rinse thoroughly in clean water
4/ Dry on a wide hanger in a well-ventilated place away from direct light. Keep away from direct sunlight as it can fade the fabric parts of the suit.
Choose your size carefully
To make the most of the features of your wetsuit, it is necessary to choose the correct size. A canyoning wetsuit should be a very tight fit and there should be no visible folds. When dry, it is perfectly normal to feel like it is too tight, this discomfort disappears as soon as the wetsuit gets wet. If you choose a wetsuit that is too big, folds will appear, you will experience irritation and thermal insulation will be reduced (letting in water).
