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.

Hood easy get off and Fit smoothly

I'm 5'3'' 115-120 lb and got a 4. It is snug fit like other reviews but I feel it fits. The taking it off required a little shimmy around the hips but it didn't take that long. I'm sure it will stretch too as it gets broken in.

Most comfortable 5mm suit ever

I love this suit. Previously I worn patagonia 5mm suit which was super heavy, uncomfortable and doesn't dry quick. This Matuse is light weight and paddle easily and dry pretty quick. Love it.

The search is over

Finally found the perfect 5/4 hooded winter suit that fits a petit like me (5ft tall). The back to front hood entry is so easy (hate those side zipped hoods) and doesn't make me feel like I'm going to die. The 4 is a snug and flattering fit

Love the fit

This is my first fulll wet suit by Matuce and I love the fit and look. It was initially very tight and a bit hard to put on especially in the arms but very comfortable once on.
I wore it in high 50s water temps and 40 degree air and I was a bit cold on a windy day. It’s not as thick or warm as my other 5mm by Billibong so I probably won’t wear on super cold windy days in NJ this winter. I’m 5’3’” and 108 lbs and ordered size 4.

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.
