Performance & Technology

Japanese Limestone-Based Neoprene – Warmth & Flexibility

Premium high-elasticity Japanese limestone-based neoprene with carbon black delivers insulation, stretch, and lasting shape retention. Its flexible construction helps maintain freedom of movement while providing thermal protection in cold water.

Integrated Hood – Additional Cold-Water Protection

The engineered full-coverage hood helps retain body heat and protect the head during repeated water immersion. Its integrated design is especially valuable during cold-water surf sessions and extended time on the water.

Thermal Lock Fleece – Core Insulation

Strategically positioned Thermal Lock fleece helps retain warmth around the body's core without adding unnecessary bulk. Its moisture-managing construction provides next-to-skin comfort and dries quickly between sessions.

Texture_X External Liner – Unrestricted Movement

Ride Engine's Texture_X exterior lamination combines stretch and durability, allowing the neoprene to move naturally with the body during paddling, reaching, carving, and transitions.

Fully Taped Seams – Reduced Water Entry

Glued and blind-stitched construction with full internal seam taping helps minimize flushing while reinforcing the wetsuit's seams for demanding cold-water use.

Body CAD Construction – Anatomical Fit

Body CAD engineered panels follow the body's natural contours to reduce unnecessary material and improve flexibility through the shoulders, torso, and legs.
