What is the Most Important of Wetsuit Material

Wetsuit material includes so many things, such as: fabric, neoprene, zipper, scale rope, button, silicone tape, glue, stitching and other small things. But the most important part should be neoprene as it is the essential element for a wetsuit and it occupies most of wetsuit cost.

The neoprene for making a wetsuit has many types, such as: SBR, SCR, CR, limestone neoprene, eco-friendly neoprene, bio-neoprene and so on. The price would be totally different. Therefore, we should choose the suitable neoprene for the custom wetsuit.

What are the Types of Neoprene Surfaces

As for the types of neoprene surfaces, if the wetsuit needs this process, the neoprene quality should be high end. As the lower quality neoprene don’t have enough stretch to reprocess. Otherwise, the neoprene would be broken during reprocessing.

In order to achieve different purpose, there are several situations to use often when designing wetsuits or making wetsuits:

1) SMOOTH SKIN: We often use this surface for freediving wetsuits and triathlon wetsuits to reduce the friction of wind or water. It is from the top or bottom of neoprene sheet. As the smooth skin neoprene is a little bit weak, it is easy to break when using it. Therefore, we always add titanium coating to enhance the strength for the smooth skin, and this way also can let us get new custom colors when neoprene factory can not provide.

2) OPEN CELL / CELL SKIN: This is often for spearfishing wetsuits to be closer to our body to keep warmer. It is from inside of neoprene sheet. This kind of surface is so weak, but as it is for inside of wetsuit, then it is not big problem.

3) SHARK SKIN: This is often for the areas that need friction, such as the chest of surfing wetsuits or aqua park wetsuits. This surface can be from neoprene factory ( Namliong company, Yamamoto company ), or can be made by wetsuit manufacturers ( Wetop Sports ).

4) CROSS MESS SKIN: This is often for reducing surface scratch or style necessary. This surface also can be from neoprene factory or be reprocessed by wetsuit makers.

5) ENBOSS SKIN: This is often for style necessary. This surface also can be from neoprene factory or be reprocessed by wetsuit makers.

In conclusion, the different types of neoprene surface are also very important when designing a wetsuit, it can improve the appearance of wetsuit style and increase the wetsuit durability. Then the wetsuit price would be increased as well.
