WETSUIT TECHNOLOGY
A wetsuit is only as good as the materials it's made from. We work with high-performance Yamamoto neoprene and carefully selected linings to build suits that feel right, move naturally and keep you in the water longer.
No unnecessary gimmicks. Just materials that earn their place in the lineup.
Japanese rubber. Built to move.
We use Yamamoto neoprene, a high-performance rubber developed in Japan and widely used in technical wetsuits.
Its closed-cell structure helps provide thermal insulation without unnecessary weight, while its flexible construction lets the suit move with your body instead of fighting against it.
Because paddling is hard enough already.
Lightweight. Flexible. Warm.
Yamamoto #39 - Less weight. More freedom.
Yamamoto #39 is our lightweight, all-round performer. Its combination of low weight, thermal insulation and flexibility makes it a solid foundation for wetsuits designed to handle real sessions in real conditions.
Comfortable in the water, easy to move in and ready to put in the hours.
Yamamoto #40 - Stretch is not a luxury.
When you're paddling into a wave or throwing everything into a turn, the last thing you need is your wetsuit holding you back.
Yamamoto #40 takes the flexibility of #39 further, offering an even stretchier rubber designed for greater freedom of movement.
Less resistance from your suit. More room to do your thing.
Graphene lining. Built into the Norte.
A little science. A lot more thought.
The Norte features an interior lining made with graphene fibres, adding another layer of technical thinking to the suit.
Graphene is an exceptionally thin form of carbon known for its remarkable thermal conductivity. In textile applications, it can help transfer heat through the material — a property that makes it interesting for wetsuit linings.
It's one more element in the equation of staying comfortable when the water gets cold.
The beautiful merger of art and functionality.
Some things are made to perform. Others are made to be admired. We don't see why they should be separate.
At Narval, materials, construction and design come together as part of the same process. Every choice shapes not only how a wetsuit works, but how it feels and what it expresses.
Because functionality doesn't have to be boring. And good design should never be skin deep.
