FAQs
Back zip or chest zip?
A back zip is quicker and easier to get on and off. A chest zip seals better around the neck and has no zip down your back, so it’s warmer and gives you more stretch through the back.
What’s the difference between the Viper, Vortex and Max?
The Vortex is our most economical suit, made from standard Yamamoto neoprene. The Viper adds superstretch through the arms for more flexibility. The Max is our high-performance range, made entirely from superstretch neoprene, with custom fit available.
Can I make it warmer?
Yes. Add a Titanium Hot Top underneath.
Is it really made in New Zealand?
Yes. Every Viper is handcrafted in our Christchurch workshop.
