Like Dante’s journey, the path to making the most sustainable wetsuit is no easy feat, but if you don’t commit to the path, you can never arrive at your destination. The Dante with Geoflex follows Matuse’s mantra of making products Ichiban (the best) by looking forward, developing materials and construction in the most sustainable ways.

Matuse’s Geoflex Limestone Rubber is made with Eco Carbon Black additive recycled from post-consumer scrap tires in combination with water-based adhesives for fabric lamination, instead of conventional solvent-based glues. This eliminates Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) and maintains bonding strength aka the durability you expect from Matuse.

We skip traditional dyeing processes, opting for dope-dyeing yarn to add color before yarn extrusion to save energy and water. To minimize waste, all of our trimmed edges from cutting wetsuit patterns are reused to produce more Geoflex sheets that make our Matuse products.

The Dante with Geoflex is fair-trade certified and is the next generation of responsible building that doesn’t sacrifice on the performance you expect.

Tough entry

I should have read reviews first. My MT 4/3 hoodless Tumo is awesome once I have it on, but getting into it is a lot of work. I'm around 168 and 5'10. The materials, the craftsmanship and fit make me feel like I'm not even wearing a suit. There's no flushing or pooling, chafing or binding. Plenty warm here in the land of 50 degree water. But I'm afraid that I'm gonna eventually damage the suit getting it over my shoulders. I've started using a silicone lube product on my left shoulder, upper arm and upper torso and that's helping. Don't laugh, but the teabag sized packets of silicone lube intended for bedroom use work perfect!

Buttery and Warm

I have the Dante without hood for the cold waters of Cape Town South Africa and it is epic. Buttery and warm with loads of flex. I'm in the water 5 days plus a week and it has lasted well over a year.
For the price tag you cannot go wrong.

A bit short...

The fit was a bit shorter than that of my other MT Matuse wetsuits. Im hopeful there is a little stretch to come, but tight in the shoulders isnt good for a 5M... My other MT fit perfect...

Buttery neoprene

I’ve had this suit for the past two winter and keep wanting it to be just right but if you’re a taller fella watch out for the xxl cause it’ll make you feel like your torso is being compressed. Also the legs are a little short and sometimes ride up above your boots. Solid wetsuit and super high quality materials but if you’re over 6 feet a little uncomfortable. The smoothest wetsuit I’ve ever slid on my limbs.
