BUILD: GLUED + DURASOFT NYLON TAPE
MATERIAL: OCENA (90% water impermeable, typically lasts 2-3 years, 1-year warranty and dries in about 3 hours.)
• Hydrasilk: Minimizes water adsorption and maintains your suit’s overall shape memory, adding to its longevity. Hydrasilk is buttery-soft and located inside and outside of your suit, aka you won't want to take it off.

• Durasoft Nylon Taping: Applied to the inside seams and is soft to the skin, for extra comfort, durability, and warmth.
• YKK Vislon Zipper: Large #10V size zipper for ease of closure and prevention of salt corrosion.
• 360 Degree Hydrasilk Neckline: Velcro plush is set back from the top edge of the neckline and creates a 360-degree seal against water entry and adds Hydrasilk comfort against the skin.
• Easy access external key pouch: With elastic cord on side of hip / you don't have to take your suit off to access a key or other items stored while surfing.
Fair-Trade Certified Construction -
• Water based adhesives: Used for laminating our Hydrasilk Nylon instead of conventional solvent-based glues and minimizes Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s).
• Eco Carbon Black: A recycled additive from post-consumer scrap tires that improves suit durability.
• Dope-dyeing yarn process: We add color to our Nylon before yarn extrusion, skipping traditional dying processes to save on energy and water.
• Recycled Trims: All trim from cutting patterns is reused to create more Ocena sheets, to build more Matuse suits aka we make no waste.
