A SUPERIOR WETSUIT REQUIRES SUPERIOR NEOPRENE

Great wetsuit performance requires superior design and superior neoprene. Yamamoto neoprene is widely recognized as the thinnest, lightest warmest and best performing neoprene available in the world. It is the biggest innovation in neoprene in the last 20 years.

It is the material for the performance surfer who demands a suit that is thin, light weight, flexible and super warm. Compared to traditional neoprene, the closed-cell structure of the neoprene is super durable.

YAMAMOTO’S MICRO CLOSED CELL STRUCTURE ADVANTAGE

Unlike traditional neoprene each closed-cell in the neoprene is backed up by other cells. This structure gives it super stretch and recovery for flexibility, thermal warmth, and durability.

LIGHT WEIGHT

Yamamoto neoprene is 98% impermeable to H₂O. ISURUS wetsuits are extraordinarily lightweight when wet. The manufacturing process Yamamoto utilizes to make the closed cell neoprene is what provides Yamamoto with its superior hydrophobic properties. Traditional neoprene weighs up to two times more than Yamamoto when wet. Wool-lined neoprene weighs even more when wet. Water logged neoprene fatigues muscles faster as more muscle energy is required for athletic movements.

SUPER THIN AND FLEXIBLE

ISURUS wetsuits made from 100% Yamamoto neoprene are super thin, yet warm. The material molds to your body over time providing a fit conforms to your anatomical structure like a second skin providing the surfer with incredible performance capability. No more the “Michelin Tire” effect with thick restrictive wetsuits.

SUPERIOR WARMTH

ISURUS wetsuits made from 100% Yamamoto Neoprene provide the surfer with twice the warmth at half the thickness. ISURUS wetsuits using the closed-cell Yamamoto neoprene that is 98% impermeable to water take less of your body heat to warm you because there is less water to warm than in a traditional wetsuit. Takes a lot of body heat to warm lots of water.

EXCELLENT DURABILITY

Yamamoto neoprene’s closed-cell manufacturing process produces a neoprene that is highly durable while remaining extremely stretchy with optimum cell memory recovery. ISURUS Yamamoto surfing wetsuits don’t get loose over time like ordinary neoprene which rapidly looses it ability to recover. 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, molds to your anatomical structure without getting loose over time.

QUICK DRYING

The 98% hydrophobic Yamamoto neoprene is extremely quick drying. It is perfect for the two-a-day surfer who dreads putting on a cold, clammy suit particularly in the winter months.

HYDROPHOBIC LINER

The hydrophobic liner in ISURUS wetsuits made from Yamamoto neoprene has elongation properties of 450% of its original size with excellent modulus of stretch and recovery. It means it fits and acts like a second skin providing you with unrestricted range of motion you have not experienced before. To quote surfers, “it just feels better.”
