Design details
The Ultimate Wind Defense
muscle support - wind shield - ultra protection
Protects like a 6mm
No one knows wind like Neilpryde. Defense against the elements and the desire to go harder, faster and stay out longer are top-of-mind attributes for their designs. Understanding and harnessing the power of nature and the wind is something they know best.
New features include the anatomical neck seal (water lock comfort), rear knee emboss (flexibility), EFX (anti-cramp forearm panels), MLS (exclusive, patented muscle support technology), Tech Zag (thermal engineering for heat plates and linings).
FEATURES
MLS Muscle Lock System
Quadriceps and calf muscles are braced for increased muscle support and to enable active recovery for improved endurance. Ride longer with MLS compression technology. This feature offers 2 times more support than the average neoprene material.
Armor Skin G2 Wind Protection
Exclusive hybrid neoprene, that combines warmth and wind-chill protection of a mesh wetsuit with the durability of a double-lined suit. Armor-Skin was inspired by triathlon wetsuits which have to stay flexible while repelling an elastic jersey and sealed with a waterproof, Super Durable Skin (SDS) layer that cuts down wind-chill and protects the suit from wear and tear.
Tech Zag Thermal Protection
Next-to-skin softness, premium warm hand feel and thermal insulation are on top of mind for this all new exclusive design. Stay out longer with the ultimate defense against the cold.
EFX Expansion System
Exclusive to NeilPryde, the EFX system allows the forearm section of the wetsuit to expand as blood flow increases to the forearms. Tight wetsuits that do not allow for increased blood flow in the limb extremities can cause cramping in the hands and forearms as lactic acid builds up. Increase your time in the water and endurance with the all new EFX system for the ultimate experience on the water.
Aquavents Plush
Water venting system located in the ankles that releases water caught in the suit. Outer plush jersey allows you to attach ankles cinches to prevent water from entering.
Dri-Flex
Our advanced Dri-Flex knitted outer jersey is superlight and dries in a fraction of time compared to standard neoprene. The waffle patterned finished also creates much more flex and sheds water faster. This dynamic jersey is fused with a polyester and spandex blend and combined with Yamamoto Neoprene making it over 95% water impermeable. Dri-Flex material is the lightest, warmest and stretchiest neoprene we have produced.
Key Loop
Elastic key loop for security while riding.
Deboss Knee Flex Panel
Joint flexibility for improved movements.
P-skin Plus Tape
P-Skin is our Premium outer seam sealant tape that keeps the suit dry while being very flexible at the same time.
E3 Entry
Prevents water penetration.
Infrared Back Zipper
Heavy-duty, off-set teeth PK zipper to minimize water entry. With extended, easy-grab lanyard.
Anatomical Neck SCS
Next-to-skin, ergonomical fit and improved water seal and comfort.
Armortex Kneepads
Highly durable, abrasion resistant 4 way stretch material around the knees for more durability.
