Super-low modulus, max-flex Geoprene that keeps the body’s thermostatic line balanced (i.e. you don’t get hot and tired from fighting your suit or cold and bitter from that oil-based neoprene).
The mini back-zip maximizes your ease-of-entry while minimizing water-entry.
Provides board traction and makes you bulletproof—at least against the wind and cold.

Technology in this Ichiban Product
- Geoprene is derived from 99.7% pure limestone. It’s warmer (98% water impermeable compared to the standard 69%), lighter and lasts longer than oil-based neoprene. It’s also kinder to Mother Nature since it wastes less biomass and comes from a sustainable resource—not petroleum. Geoprene is exclusive to Yamamoto Corporation and Matuse, Inc.
