The Tumo is named after the Buddhist meditation Technique where naked Monks sit in the snow, underneath a wet blanket, and dry-it-out with their own body heat. So jump into the coldest environments. The Tumo's got you covered even if you don't meditate.
Most neoprene is petroleum-based. It's messy, it's hazardous - it goops up sea otters. Matuse's wetsuits are made from Yamamoto rubber, which is derived from 99.7% pure limestone. It is warmer (98% water impermeable) and lasts longer (titanium coated) than standard neoprene. It is also kinder to mother nature since it's made from limestone and does not come from petroleum. Yamamoto's Geoprene technology means thinner rubber is warmer rubber. It not only weighs less, it also allows athletes to focus on the right issues (like better surfing), and fuss less over the wrong ones (like being cold, uncomfortable - and performing like a wet noodle).
Features:
-
100% GLUED AND BLIND STITCHED SEAMS WITH SATIN SEAL TAPING. A powerful trio that provides durability, flexibility and cushy softness for your skin.
- CHEST ZIP TUMO ENTRY SYSTEM WITH HOOD ATTACHED. Angled front-entry system gives you a VIP pass into your suit but leaves water standing at the door.
- TITANIUM COATED GEOPRENE TEXTURE SKIN ON CORE. Provides board traction and makes you bulletproof—at least against the wind and cold.
- HIDDEN CHAMBER TECHNOLOGY. Geoprene with built-in air chambers that act like mini-pressure cookers combined with your body's radiant heat. Warmer, lighter and more buoyant than average mouse-pad oil-based neoprene.
- SADDLE SEAT. Inspired by Jet-ski suits, this panel is designed to withstand many-a-swell spent straddling. Better yet, the Saddle Seat’s form-active design keeps your undercarriage happy because it won't ride up.
- 100% HYDRASILK LINING
Won't snag; doesn't suck (up water) and is butter soft. This hydrophobic material(i.e., it rejects moisture) is your windbreaker in the water.
- EXTERNAL KEY POCKET
Located just above the outer left knee. Includes elastic loop cord, mini-pocket and
zipper closure. This allows you to get into your car without having to remove the top half of suit.
