Joan of Arc aka d’Arc was a warrior heroine who at the age of 18 became a general for the French army. In this spirit, your d’Arc will conquer any surf session without all the swords and armor.

The d’Arc with Geoflex follows the Matuse mantra of making products Ichiban (the best) by looking forward at developing materials and construction that are built in the most sustainable ways.

Matuse’s Geoflex Limestone Rubber is made with Eco Carbon Black additive that is recycled from post-consumer scrap tires, in combination with water-based adhesives for fabric lamination, instead of conventional solvent-base glues. This helps eliminate Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) while maintaining bonding strength aka the durability you expect from Matuse. Additionally, we use a dope-dying yarn to add color before yarn extrusion, skipping traditional dying processes to save on energy and water. Also, all of our trimmed edges when cutting wetsuit patterns are reused to produce more Geoflex sheets to make more Matuse products and minimizes waste.

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

You kindly traded it out for something else, and it’s not as warm as my Sisstr 4/3–bummer. I should’ve stuck to my 5/4 search.

Perfect fit!

I’d been recommended Matuse for my next wetsuit for some time and finally purchased this one — I was a bit nervous about fit and sizing, but it was perfect. I ordered the 6S and I’m 5’3” and 115-120 lbs.

Super Warm

I can’t rave enough about this wetsuit. The fit is perfect for me—I’m 5’2, 115lbs and bought a 6S. It’s extremely toasty in frigid water but surprisingly flexible for a 5/4. Matuse quality can’t be beat!

Never been so excited for winter

Bought this suit in the midst of summer, tried it on and felt it’s buttery, silky hug…can’t say I’ve ever been this stoked for winter to come 😄 I’d suggest buying a size up, I bought a size up and it fits snuggly, size 4, female 5’3” 100lbs.

Panic Free!

I have tried on other winter-weight wetsuits which quickly resulted in a rate of increased breathing, sweats, claustrophobia and near-panic the moment I tried to peel them off. This suit is different. The inside is buttery smooth and robust so that you slide in. The overlapping neck entry guarantees that you can bring up your shoulder and pull out an elbow to free yourself. AND it's a great fit. I highly recommend this beauty!
