Women freediving 1.5mm neoprene long-sleeve top shorty FRD500 glide skin metal

Textile lining

Unlike spearfishing wear which is made with raw neoprene interiors (also called smooth, split or backed neoprene), the lining provides robustness, and helping you get in and out of your wetsuit.

Glide skin neoprene

We chose glide skin neoprene to minimise water resistance. This enables you to move underwater with minimal effort.

On the other hand, glide skin neoprene is a fragile material. You'll find advice for repairs should it be damaged, at the bottom of the page or on this link:
