I ordered the Philo jacket for a trip to Fiji and it worked out perfect just like the full suits just like the spring suit just like all of their products are so functional and made with quality they last forever they dry quickly and they enable you to paddle with full performance without a lot of resistance, I will always be a customer of Matuse for as long as they continue the quality in their products thank you and thank you again, Matuse

Aloha, first philo 1mm was the best, most flexible and durable long sleeve in thirty five years of trying to surf. Replaced after ten years of regular use. Unfortunately, the new one is not up to par with its predecessor. Stiff.Talked with Matuse about it and thought it may be a “breaking it in issue”. Nope. Even the logos (who gives a shit) are not placed as accurately as the O.G. A bit of sloppy at production. Will buy another. Worth it.
Excelente,
I have the 2103 and the Philo is a great piece to circulate in between. Feels to me, 1mm geoprene is warmer than a 2mm yulex.
Exactly the quality I anticipated with Matuse. Great purchase. I’m sure it will last many years.
