Surface

The OceanPositive Wetsuit. Grown, Not Made.

Designed for life in the water from diving and freediving to surface watersports, the Surface is made with certified sustainable natural rubber and recycled inner and outer linings.

Designed for life in the water from diving and freediving to surface watersports, the Surface is made with certified sustainable natural rubber and recycled inner and outer linings.

The minimal design features a mini chest zipper, eliminating the need for a back zip, radically improving mobility and minimizing the opportunity for water to enter the suit though the teeth of the zip. The flexible rubber of the suit provides freedom of movement and the inner ankle and wrist seals ensure that suit flush is minimized.

Perfect for snorkeling and freediving, this suit is also suitable for other sports including stand up paddleboarding and open water swimming due to the unrestricted nature of the design.

Using Yulex Pure™, a 100% plant based alternative to neoprene, the Surface is lined with recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles. Seams have been blindstitched and bonded with water-based glue, delivering comfort from a suit designed to have minimal impact on the ocean.

What Makes this Product Ocean Positive?
Yulex Pure™ is FSC® Certified, ultra-pure natural rubber made in the USA. The plants are grown without artificial irrigation systems and the materials are processed with recycled water. Even the waste plant material after the rubber extraction process is used as biomass fuel for electricity generation. The lining fabrics are created from ocean-bound plastic bottles, recycled and spun into polyester yarn. Water-based glues are used to bond the foam to the fabrics and every care is taken to minimize the environmental impact of this product.

Features

Recycled Rubber

One of the key ingredients of neoprene, Eco Carbon Black, is recycled by our wetsuit factory from post-consumer scrap tyres. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emissions by 200g per wetsuit.

Yulex Pure™

Nachhaltigkeit im Fokus: Der Surface Wetsuit wird aus Yulex Pure™ hergestellt, einem 100% pflanzlichen Ersatz für Neopren, und ist mit recyceltem Polyester ausgekleidet, das aus Plastikflaschen gewonnen wird. Jede Naht ist blindgenäht und mit wasserbasiertem Kleber verklebt, was den Tragekomfort erhöht und die Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt minimiert. Yulex Pure™ ist FSC®-zertifiziert und besteht aus ultra-reinem Naturkautschuk, der in den USA ohne künstliche Bewässerung angebaut und mit recyceltem Wasser verarbeitet wird. Selbst das Restmaterial wird als Biomasse-Brennstoff zur Stromerzeugung genutzt. Unsere Innenfutter werden aus Plastikflaschen, die aus dem Ozean stammen, recycelt und zu Polyesterfasern gesponnen.

Resources

After the neoprene creation process, the redundant trimmed materials will be recycled and reused in the mixing process to produce more neoprene sheets. Overall huge amounts of raw materials are saved, energy consumption is reduced and waste water and air emissions are minimised during production.

Safe waters - Dope-Dyed Yarn

Dope-Dyed Yarn

The yarn in this garment is dope-dyed, a process of infusing dye pigments into a molten plastic solution to produce coloured yarns. This saves vast amounts of water whilst reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
