Mens Gold Wetsuit

Technology

FlexRise Pro

A combination of premium Ultra Flex Neoprene (UFN) and precision mapped panelling allows for maximum shoulder mobility.
A thickness gradient executed through further precision mapped panelling allows for maximum body uplift to reduce drag and promote optimum streamline swimming position.
Multi-layered Hip Wrap system surrounds the hips and lower core to deliver targeted hip lift. This reduces leg sink and stabilising the core as fatigue sets in.
The result of FlexRise Pro: unrestricted mobility, improved body alignment, reduced lateral sway, and more efficient energy transfer, resulting in a faster and more controlled swim.

Easy Off

Engineered with our ultra-smooth Durafit jersey, Easy Off Lining is built for fast transitions. Its low-friction surface reduces drag against the skin, allowing the wetsuit to peel off easily.
The 2 mm calf neoprene panel and angled cut ankles add extra stretch, to allow for quick removal over your lower leg and ankle.

DPS Catch Zone

Our enhanced-feedback forearm panel improves your feel for the water and encourages an efficient high-elbow catch. This allows for earlier engagement in the stroke, increasing Distance Per Stroke and driving more propulsion with less effort.
Internal silicon beading at the wrist minimises water ingress for a cleaner, more controlled stroke.

Materials

Smooth skin Nano SCS (Super Composite Skin) hydrophobic coating for reduced water friction
Yamamoto 39 Cell 5.0mm neoprene throughout the core, hips, and thighs for optimal buoyancy and durability
Yamamoto Aerodome in the core, hips, and legs for increased buoyancy and core stability.
Yamamoto 40 cell 1.5mm Ultra Flex Neoprene arms, underarms, and shoulders for advanced flexibility.
2mm nylon jersey high sensitivity forearm DPS catch zone
Durafit lining for increased flexibility, thermoregulation, form fit and a fast transition
Bottom-up stainless steel YKK zipper for a quick and faultless release

Care Instructions

Rinse the wetsuit in fresh water after each use to remove any debris or contaminants (in the shower after a swim also works).
To clean any lubricants from the neck area, utilise a pH-neutral soap or antibacterial wipes.
To safeguard both the neoprene and the nylon jersey, make sure to fasten the rough and soft sides of the neck Velcro together. Alternatively, attach the provided piece of neoprene to the rough side of the Velcro after each use.
For drying, turn the wetsuit inside-out and hang in a location away from direct sunlight.
To minimise creasing the neoprene while storing the wetsuit, ensure the wetsuit is dry before carefully folding as shown in our instructional video.

Getting the right size

If your measurements align with multiple sizes, or you’re on the upper boundary of a given size, we advise selecting the larger size or ‘sizing up’.
Our wetsuits are designed to offer a tight fit for optimal performance and to reduce water ingress. The material will stretch slightly and provide greater comfort once submerged in water and worn a few times.
To ensure the best fit, having someone assist you in zipping up the wetsuit can be beneficial. If the neoprene needs to be pulled together at the back before zipping up, it indicates an appropriately snug fit.
A brand-new wetsuit will be marginally tighter the very first time it is tried on. Neoprene will stretch a small percentage after it is first tensioned.
A well-fitted wetsuit may take up to 10 minutes to put on correctly.
Should you have any doubts about your size, especially when shopping online, we welcome you to contact us directly. Our team is on hand to assist you in finding the correct size to suit your needs as a swimmer.

Suiting Up

We recommend suiting up dry, both you and the wetsuit
Avoid having long or sharp fingernails
To prevent damage to the neoprene, it is recommended to use the cotton gloves provided or only the pads of your fingers
Pull the wetsuit up your legs and core from the inside, where the inner lining material is less susceptible to damage from fingernails
Avoid pinching the wetsuit with fingernails or pulling on the wetsuit in small sections. Instead, use large folds to adjust it for a proper fit.
Ensure that the wetsuit is fully pulled up over the hips, leaving no excess neoprene around the legs, before continuing to pull up over the chest, shoulders and arms.
Pulling the wetsuit higher up the forearm can increase flexibility through the shoulders (this comes down to body shape and personal preference).
Even a well-fitted wetsuit can cause chafing, particularly around the neck. We recommend using non-petroleum-based lubricants to protect sensitive skin and the wetsuit's neoprene.

Removing the wetsuit

Ensure the wetsuit is fully unzipped before pulling the suit from each shoulder.
Pull the wetsuit down from the inside, where the inner lining material is less susceptible to damage from fingernails.
Avoid pinching the wetsuit with fingernails or pulling on the wetsuit in small sections. Instead, use large folds to remove it properly.

Care and Storage

Rinse the wetsuit in fresh water after each use to remove any debris or contaminants (in the shower after a swim also works).
To clean any lubricants from the neck area, utilise a pH-neutral soap or antibacterial wipes.
To safeguard both the neoprene and the inner lining, make sure to fasten the rough side of the velcro to the soft side after use. Alternatively, attach the provided piece of neoprene to the rough side of the Velcro after each use.
For drying, turn the wetsuit inside-out and hang away from direct sunlight.
To reduce creasing, always store your wetsuit completely dry. Either fold it carefully following the method shown in our instructional video or hang it on a wide, suit-style hanger. Avoid using thin wire or wooden hangers, as these can stretch the shoulders over time.
DO NOT USE petroleum-based lubricants as this will damage the wetsuit. If it is used, ensure that it is removed immediately with a pH-neutral soap to avoid damage to the wetsuit.
