PHANTOM- high flex
Dark days are over
The justification for black suits is better heat absorption and retention but is that the real reason?
Or is it that when neoprene is made from petroleum based chemicals the result is black. Then you can use black glue, black external layer and black thread and not be as careful. So itās easy and faster to make.
Our suits are from limestone rock to get the base chemicals. The big advantage is smaller more intact bubbles which have better flex, better thermal and faster drying.
Itās still black but the outer layer is white which is printed on. So more care is needed to construct the suit.
Those factors mean a longer lasting suit.
One of our testers (once or twice a day surfer) is extremely hard on suits and wore one out in 12 months.
We were disappointed until he said his XXXXX big name brand only last him 6. His usage is double or triple the average surfer.
Features
Steel Grey print (Patented)that hits our camo targets
Limestone Neoprene thatās more flexible than what the big brands use
Thermal torso for warmth
Slick skin neck to prevent flushing
W gel seats on wrist and ankles
STF knees to grip and protect
Lot more interest from overseas than Newcastle but we are getting used to that. This brand will eventually be fully located offshore by our partner.

Winter swimming season has started here.
The East Australian current is holding temperatures at 19-20 but 16 is in its way.
Rather than stopping we have the solution our ergonomic shoulder design high flex limestone neoprene wetsuits.
But there is another reason for using Fader.
The Patented Contrast Gradient print works with available light to make you almost impossible to see in the water.
Think about your last ocean swim.
In a black wetsuit you are highly visible from underneath.
Did that make you feel uneasy?
Our 2.5 mm greens and 2 mm blues are almost sold out. There are more 3/2 mm blues but missing a couple of sizes.
2.5 mm greens are being completed now and we hope to have soon in full and short leg versions.

Even from the start we used grey for contrast gradient in our early tests as it negated our human vision bias.
The under view is our test suits and on the racks are the new PHANTOMS.

But the real innovation is that you are so hard to see underwater.
What if Black wetsuits were the defining issue in most shark attacks?
After 12 years or research and development we are sure of it.

Arenāt you fed up with open cells that just donāt fit.
We were.
So our designer G did something about it.
Like with other suits we donāt rely if just what the manufacturers offer she when through from head to toe and has fixed errors in the genetic designs.
She made it perfect.
We use only real @yamamotowetsuits 39 limestone open cell is we think the best flex to strength balance.
The high flex allows the suit to conform to your body and fit better than a lot of custom made suits.
Ask someone that has a Fader open cell.

Swim training in my Fader 2.5 mm green.
2 years use and the limestone neoprene is still as flexible as when new.
Can you say that about yours?
