Wetsuits , Life Jackets & Sailing Clothing

Why is a Titanium wetsuit warmer?
Titanium lined neoprene is coated with a super thin film of Titanium Alloy. This dramatically increases the heat insulation and heat retaining properties of neoprene. It works by retaining more body heat within the suit, and providing a more effective barrier between the cold outside water and air temperatures. Double lined neoprene with Titanium Alloy is 40% warmer than the same thickness regular neoprene. The stretchability, feeling and wear comfort remain the same as regular neoprene.  This makes it possible to use a reduced thickness of neoprene, for instance, 3 mm in lieu of 5 mm, obtaining the same thermal protection. Titanium suits are lighter weight, with more warmth, comfort and ease of movement, benefiting the user with greater comfort and flexibility and less fatigue. Titanium lining sets new standards in insulating the wearer against the cold outside water and retaining the warm body temperature.
