So...What is Graphene X?
Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the building-block of graphite , but graphene is a remarkable substance onits own - with a multi-tude of astonishing properties which repeatedly earn it the title “wonder material” with graphene-x infused yarns in your wetsuit core liner, you’ll be:
> Warmer
> Dryer
> For Longer
Don’t Surf Cold!
TWIN CINCH
Our quick release Twin cinch keeps you completely sealed and locked away from the elements.
GLUED AND BLIND STITCHED (GBS)
BALANCING OUT FLEXIBILITY AND DURABILITY
All panels are triple glued before being blind stitched together and G-TAPE on the
inner. The needle doesn't fully penetrate the neoprene, keeping it waterproof.
G-TAPE inner waterproof taping fuses seams together for additional reinforement.
GBS (glued and blind stitched) balances out flexibility and durability.
LAVA TAPE
Lava flow tape is as fluid as lava, that stretches with your body and provides extra waterproofing to the seam and adds additional reinforcement.
MESH BACK/KIDNEY PANEL
KEEPS YOUR CORE WARM WITHOUT LOSING FLEXIBILITY
Your sessions will last longer with insulation where you need it most, keeping you protected from wind chill.
BEND EMBOSSED
Our Flexible Knee Hinge Embossed System is engineered for ultimate mobility. By reducing bulk behind the knee and eliminating fabric bunching, this innovative design delivers a smooth, ergonomic fit that moves with you.
