GEN-3 ULTRASPAN
Ultraspan is a state-of-the-art nylon laminated to neoprene
The Gen-3 Ultraspan provides 300% stretch to the suit.
Advantages for the surfer: + warmth, + comfort, + flexibility.
The West Red Poly Pro is a thermal jersey insulation that helps maintain body temperature.
Advantages for the surfer: Warmer wetsuit.
The Thermal Mesh works in the same way as a solar panel absorbs heat from the sun. Minimal Water Absorption Reduces Wind Chill. These combined elements add better thermal properties to West suits.
Benefits for the surfer: increased warmth, lighter suit due to less water absorption.
S Foam is a closed cell neoprene which is 20% lighter than classic foam, it is made from limestone. Which offers superior elasticity compared to other neoprenes.
Advantages for the surfer: Lighter and warmer wetsuit.
KNEE PADS
Compared to other Neoprene, K (Knee) foams at a much more efficient density. West uses K Mousse for all knee pads because of its durability and high strength. There are 3 types of K-Mousse: latex, plasma and P.U.
The Melco WEST tape is applied to all sensitive points of the suit, at the seams and the zip. These reinforcements allow better longevity to the suits.
Benefits for the surfer: more reliable and durable wetsuit.
The Batwing West is a 0.5mm thick Ultraspan gusset (pocket) that prevents water from entering through the Back Zip seams. The Batwing helps keep the surfer warm.
Advantages for the surfer: No water entry at the back zip, which makes the suit warmer and more comfortable.
GBS SEAMS
The sewn/glued seams, generally called GBS seams, are airtight. West uses Japanese glue which ensures superior bonding quality.
Advantage for the surfer: a quality hermetic seam which helps prevent water from entering, keeping the surfer warm.
