Bluesign
Our fabric mills have received the bluesign System Partner certification. In addition to monitoring the reasonable use of chemicals, the partnership ensures that our manufacturer's energy and water resource utilization efficiency and waste disposal all comply with the most demanding standards in the global textile industry.
Eco Carbon Black
Carbon Black, one of the key ingredients of neoprene, can now be made from scrap rubber tires. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emission by 200g per wetsuit.
AquaA Water Based Glue
Aqua Alpha lamination glue is water based and completely solvent free with no harmful chemicals. Aqua Alpha replaces traditional solvent based glues in the lamination process which usually harm the health of the workers and the environment.
Limestone Based Neoprene
We used earth mined limestone to replace petrochemicals in our neoprene. It comes from nature and has less environmental impact.
Dope Dyed Yarn
All black, dark grey, and navy wetsuits, black inside liners, & Neo 2.0 super stretch black tape are dope dyed. Dope-dying infuses dye pigments into molten plastic solution to produce colored yarns without dying process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
Tailored Fit
Anatomically correct engineered body lines allow for unrestricted warmth and performance.
It's not yet cool enough to try a 4/3 in the water, which is 79 F here in Florida. I had picked up a 7 Seas 3/2 Comp chest zip, so was confident that the fit and performance would be good. This back zip has an over-the-head thin neoprene "dam" inside the zipper to cut water leakage. Such systems tend to be effective, and are a mark of quality.
Love it, the new neoprene sleeves are soft and flexible. See you guys at Surf Expo (I work with Surfing Florida Museum).

Ain’t nothin’ to it, U-Zip made me do it! This suit makes me want to paddle out, no madder. It’s insanely easy to get in and out of, no wrestling match required. Doesn’t hold water in the calves like some other suits, and it rinses/dries without any drama. Wearing Matuse and Feral before this, and while they’re solid, the U-Zip is honestly on another level right now. It just feels right. flexible, warm, and super well thought-out. No complaints here. Suit’s epic.
The full draw string in really good
Love it
