TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Durability
Knee reinforcements for superior durability.
Outer reinforcement patches positioned over sensitive areas.
For a stronger construction, they are bound in areas subject to wear.
Melcro-taped: inner reinforcement of seams in delicate areas
Taped seams with a GBS glued and blind-stitched assembly.
The seams of the suit and hood are waterproof, with a glued and blind-stitched (GBS) assembly: the neoprene is glued first, then stitched for maximum strength (the needle does not completely pass through the neoprene to prevent water infiltration).
Thermal insulation details.
LongJohn-style wetsuit with 5 mm neoprene on the chest.
4 mm on the upper part of the legs.
Once the film of water is trapped between your body and the jacket, no more water is able to circulate and so the water is not replenished.
The interior of each leg features a skirt (inner stop water) to prevent water being exchanged and warm water being transferred away from the body.
Multi-thickness
The wetsuit features 5 mm neoprene on the chest.
4 mm on the upper leg, with 3 mm and 2.5 mm Supratex through the rest of the leg.
This multi-thickness construction provides the necessary comfort and ergonomics for canyoning
Tips for looking after your canyoning suit?
1/ After each session, soak the wetsuit in clean water, on the outside and the inside
2/ Use a bactericide solution to sanitise
3/ Rinse thoroughly in clean water
4/ Dry on a wide hanger in a well-ventilated place away from direct light. Keep away from direct sunlight as it can fade the fabric parts of the suit.
What is a wetsuit?
This is the most common type of wetsuit on the market. It is not designed to keep the water out but to trap it, so that your body then warms it up, creating a thermal buffer between you and the outside.
Made of neoprene - a rubber polymer filled with air bubbles - these wetsuits are available in thicknesses of 0.5 mm to 7 mm.
Thanks to their flexibility and modularity, they constitute excellent wetsuits.
Choose your size carefully
To make the most of the features of your wetsuit, it is necessary to choose the correct size. A canyoning wetsuit should be a very tight fit and there should be no visible folds. When dry, it is perfectly normal to feel like it is too tight, this discomfort disappears as soon as the wetsuit gets wet. If you choose a wetsuit that is too big, folds will appear, you will experience irritation and thermal insulation will be reduced (letting in water).
Keep warm
When we are in the water, we lose more than half of our body heat through our extremities (feet, hands, head).
In view of this, here are the recommended accessories:
- in warm water and temperate water (>17°C) => 3 mm neoprene low booties.
- in cold water (12°C - 17°C): 3 mm Gloves
- in very cold water (7°C - 12°C): Neoprene jacket, gloves and hood.

Limitation of water ingress
