Titanium coating
An additional 1mm of warmth with zero bulk
The Equivalent To An Additional 1mm Of Warmth Without The Material!
That's result of applying the most technologically advanced Titanium Coating to Yamamoto Neoprene.
Find out how it works and see the full range below.
Secret Power Of Titanium Coating
VIEW TITANIUM RANGE
Our key materials supplier, Yamamoto, pioneered a process of applying Titanium Metallic Alloy to their Neoprene.
This patented technique provides an extra one millimetre of warmth with no additional fabric thickness.
The Titanium coating:
- Reflects your body heat back to your body
- Keeps coldness of the water away from your body
The more you move and paddle the more heat is reflected back at your body.
Why Isn’t Everyone Using It?
View Titanium Range
The same reasons we don't use it on all our wetsuits:
- The complex process can only be completed by Yamamoto in Japan
- This makes it expensive
Applying this rare alloy coating to the inner and outer surfaces of the Neoprene is a delicate, artisanal process. This takes skilled Japanese artisans time.
Honestly, we've tested every cheaper alternative and they just don't work anywhere near as well. We don't believe in gimmicks to make the best surfing wetsuits.
How Do We Know It Works?

The Science: This Titanium alloy is what Yamamoto applied to the NASA space shuttle to stop it burning up on re-entry from space. This research and closely-guarded process has been applied and tested to Neoprene.
The Feedback:It's unanimous - the gear that includes Titanium coating is warmer than not just every other brand, but also our non-coated gear. We even had to remove the Titanium coating from our 4.3 Evade after one season because the feedback was "it's too hot".
HIGH PERFORMANCE MATERIAL STACK
It took exhaustive research and testing to develop warmest material combination available for wetsuits. The result is a heat reflecting 4 layer sandwich construction:
- Exterior No. 039 jersey (or Fine Mesh),
- Laminated to Yamamoto® closed cell #40 rubber
- Titanium Coating is applied
- The it's lined with Zircronium Fleece jersey inside to reflect heat back towards the body.
This incredible combination is 40% warmer than regular neoprene.
Nothing comes close. It outperforms everything else for its warmth, comfort, weight, and quick drying characteristics.
Zircronium Fleece is BlueSign®and Oeko-Tex® certified to assure that chemicals, processes, materials and products are safe for the environment, safe for workers and safe for end users.
