Tech specs
Entry System
X2
Front entry with a short slanted zipper angled along the upper chest and attached at the right shoulder to keep more water out, with a SmoothSkin hem seal on the left shoulder flap. Hooded X2 models also feature a pull cord/barrel lock combo along the left shoulder flap.
Magnetic Zip Closure
Double magnets - one on zipper tab and one on attached zipper flap - securely lock zipper in place, with easier and quicker release than traditional snap locks.
Crossover Neck Entry
Overlapping inner front and back neck panels (underneath the zipper flap) stretch to allow extra wide, step-in-through-the-neck entry.
Materials
Quick Dry Fiber
Fast drying, hydrophobic outer lining promotes maximum warmth.
V Foam
The most lightweight, premium foam available; significantly lighter, stretchier, and softer than standard foams.
Ultrastretch Neoprene
Comfortable, lightweight neoprene with softer foam and a tighter weave textile for less water absorption and better durability.
Texture Skin
Texture embossed rubber that provides excellent wind resistance; ideal for outer chest panels hoods, and other areas that would otherwise lose warmth quickly.
Construction
Fusion Seam Technology
Inner waterproof stretch Fusion taping fuses seams together; used primarily in the upper body where maximum flexibility is required.
Pressure Bonded Seams
A glued & blindstitched seam using pressure to bond panels together for a highly durable yet still flexible seam; finished with inner taping for comfort; used primarily in the lower body (taping color varies by product).
Glued & Blindstitched Seams
A fully sealed, maximum stretch seam construction that keeps water out. Neoprene panels are glued and pressed together, then blindstitched (needle doesn't fully penetrate neoprene, keeping water out).
Drylock Wrist Seals
Exclusive "donut seal" construction keeps water out and forms a snug, comfortable seal.
NexSkin Seals
A thin band of liquid neoprene ("NexSkin") in the inner wrists and/or ankles forms an excellent seal, and helps minimize flushing.
Fit
Back Knee Flex Grooves
Behind-the-knee cutouts for even more flexibility.
Lower Leg Key Pocket
A streamlined key pocket, blindstitched to the lower right outer calf, with an inner key loop and drain hole.
Less Seam = More Stretch
Smarter product design means minimizing seams to maximize stretch. Any seams used are always pre-bent and contoured for a truly engineered fit.
DuraFlex Knee Panels
Contoured, durable panels that stretch with you.
