The 8C - 3mm

The number 8 represents wealth, prosperity and fortune in the Chinese culture. The "C" -- and the single yellow stripe -- are an homage to a very well-known diver from France that rolled cigarettes, made interesting films and was once personified (sort of) by Bill Murray in a Wes Anderson flick. Any guesses?

Solution Specific Features

  1. Average Water Temperature Range
  2. 56°-64° Fahrenheit. 13°-18° Celcius. (This is an average. Adding a hood and booties will increase the range of water temps you can be comfortable in. Some people may find they can go colder or need thicker rubber for the same water temps depending on personal preferences.)

  3. 3mm Thickness
  4. The 8 is an all 3mm wetsuit that is the perfect combination of warmth vs flexibility.

  5. GEOPRENE STRATEGIC PANELING
  6. Super-low modulus, max-flex Geoprene that balances the body's thermostatic line (i.e. you don't get hot & tired from fighting your suit or cold and bitter from that oil-based neoprene).

  7. HYDRASUEDE NYLON
  8. HydraSuede, cousin of HydraSilk, is a similarly durable and hydrophobic (i.e., it doesn’t like to absorb water) 4-way stretch nylon. The key difference between HydraSuede and HydraSilk is the “hand” or silky touch.

  9. WINGED SHOULDERS
  10. Human engineered seams enable paddling harmony yet provide a static neck to minimize torque that causes chaffing and flushing.

  11. Oversized Kneepads
  12. Kneepads that wrap around more allowing for better coverage and increased comfort and durability.

  13. SADDLE SEAT
  14. Inspired by Jet-ski suits, this panel is designed to withstand many-a-swell spent straddling. Better yet, the Saddle Seat's form-active design keeps your undercarriage happy because it won't ride-up.

  15. LATENT MINI-ZIP
  16. Provides lateral movement and lowers resistance (& time spent getting in & out of your ichiban game).

  17. 100% GLUED AND BLIND STITCHED SEAMS WITH SATIN SEAL TAPING.
  18. A powerful trio that provides durability, flexibility and cushy softness for your skin.

  19. 360 DEGREE NECKLINE
  20. No more roughness around your collar. So say goodbye to irritating neck chafing.

  21. EXTERNAL KEY POCKET
  22. Located just above the outer left knee. Includes elastic loop cord, mini-pocket and zipper closure. This allows you to get into your car without having to remove the top half of your suit.
