options - upgrades - extras - additions

A number of wetsuit options or features that can be added to your suit depending on what you do in the water. If you're kiteboarding, sailing or bodyboarding you may prefer to have a few extra's to maximise the performance and function of your suit; simply choose the options you'd like when ordering. It's as easy as that! Click an image to enlarge.

 

	Standard A standard model, as described and pictured in the product description.
	No smoothie Wetsuit is made without smoothie. While smoothie does drain water, we've found our suits don't need it due to the amount of air in the Yamamoto neoprene. So having no smoothie makes the suit a lot more durable, without effecting warmth. The standard option for our team riders. [Learn more about smoothie]
	Zirconium Choosing the Zirconium option changes the front and back panels to Aero Zirconium (fluffy) lined Yamamoto Neoprene. The Zirconium lining is extremely warm and fast drying. As a result it feels dry when completely submerged in water.
	Interchangeable Hood Turn your wetsuit into a "3 season wetsuit". This option allows you to interchange your hood and standard collar piece depending on conditions. The interchangeable option takes away any unnecessary or unwanted rubber around your neck. Available on Max and Viper winter ZB models only.
	Permanent Hood This option adds a sewn on hood, perfect for those living in cold conditions year round or those who wear a hood all winter.
	Drain holes Choosing this wetsuit option will add a small drainhole to each ankle, eliminating the leg from filling up with excess water. Great for kitesports and the odd waterskier too.
	Leg straps Only available on short leg suits, this option adds adjustable straps to each thigh as an extra safeguard against excess water spray. Great for lake watersports.
	Lycra collar Many people don't like the feel of neoprene on the neck. We can add a comfortable collar made from soft lycra on any Vortex Summer model.
	Flat pocket This pocket has a split style entry which allows your items to sit inside without the fear of falling out, and without the bulk of a zip. It also has a loop to attach your items, for extra safety.
	Velcro Cargo Pocket This pocket fastens with Velcro to help keep you items secure. Sizes available are Small: 160mm high by 95mm wide or Medium: 150mm high by 120mm wide. Custom sizes can be requested.
	Knife Pocket Great for diving, this knife pocket is lined with Armatek to prevent cutting the suit, and can be added to various places on your suit.
	Fly zip Extra waterproof zipper "fly" to let the user urinate when the suit is worn for long periods.
	Pizzle External "pizzle" to let the user urinate when the suit is worn for long periods.
	Ankle zips Add ankle zips to any of our long leg suits. This will make it easier to put your suit on and take it off.
	Wrist zips Add short zips to the wrists of long sleeve suits, making it easier to put on and take off.
	Shortened arms/legs The arm or legs can be shortened on any of our suits. Great for those with shorter limbs, or for suits be used for tri-athalon.
	Inside knee padding Kneepads can wear out from duck diving or knee paddling—the inside neoprene compresses, or they wear right through. We can add a small inside knee pad on the main duck dive knee. This gives you extra thickness and comfort, can be added to new any new wetsuit or done as a repair.
	Armatek Armatek is a hardwearing material we use mostly on the knees of our Vortex and Viper models. It has a polyurethane coating over a nylon base, it is applied with heat and creates a longer lasting shield than standard nylon.
	Kevlar Our toughest material, it has kevlar strands woven into neoprene to create a flexible, strong barrier. It comes usually on 3mm or 4mm neoprene and is glued and blind stitched on. Kevlar is a stronger and more comfortable alternative to Armatek.
	Bum pad - Armatek We can add an Armatek pad to the bum of any suit, to protect against wear and tear. Perfect for scuba and around the rocks, sailing and kayaking, we can also add it to our Titanium Pants. It's specifically offered on the Long John but tell us if you'd like it added to another suit.
	Bum pad - Kevlar Choosing this wetsuit option adds a Kevlar pad to the bum of any suit. It is a stronger and more comfortable alternative to the Armatek bum pad. Can be sewn in or sit on top of the neoprene.
	Elbow pad - Armatek We can add an Armatek elbow pad to any suit, to protect against wear and tear.
	Elbow pad - Kevlar A stronger and more comfortable alternative to the Armatek elbow pad. Can be sewn in or sit on top of the neoprene.
	Shin pad - Armatek We can add an Armatek shin pad to any suit, to protect against wear and tear. Great for canyoning or kneeboarding.
	Shin pad - Kevlar A stronger and more comfortable alternative to the Armatek shin pad. Can be sewn in or sit on top of the neoprene.
