NORTH SEAS WETSUITS
Ultimate Warmth in the Coldest Conditions
The North Seas is what you reach for when the forecast looks like a dare.

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.
Durable & Water Tight
Chest zip entry creates minimal bulk with contoured watertight design. Seams are triple hand glued, double blind stitched. Knee pad is anatomically correct, flexible, and strong.
Warmth
Thermal hollow fiber lining insulates heat and dries fast.
Power Seam
Power Seam is an advanced, flexible, waterproofing sealant used on the outside of seams for added durability and warmth.
