DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and thermal comfort
The Seek Core uses Hot_Stuff 3.0 and Silk_Stuff 2.0 linings to combine heat retention and stretch. Hot_Stuff 3.0 maximizes thermal retention while Silk_Stuff 2.0 gives a soft touch on the arms and legs, handy for staying comfortable during long sessions in cold water.
Flexibility to move freely
Made from Natural Rubber, the wetsuit offers excellent stretch and a snug, suitable fit. The design with minimized panels and shoulders with no seams lets you raise your arms and chain movements together without restriction, useful in surf, kite or wing.
Easy to put on and adjust
The ergonomic frontzip with One Hand Zipper and replaceable cord makes getting in simple and quick. You'll appreciate being able to adjust the flap with one hand to save time between sessions.
Durability and protection against water
Glued Blind Stitch construction combined with reinforcements (Maki_Tape 2.0 and Seam Reinforcements) strengthens the areas subject to wear and limits water entry. The Water Defender Leg stops the legs from riding up when water splashes in, helping to keep you warm.
Practical details for everyday use
The wetsuit includes a key pocket with a loop, reinforced drain holes and separate leg straps. These small details make life at the spot simpler and avoid annoyances during the session.
Good value for money
The Seek Core 5/4 is for riders who want a warm, reliable wetsuit without complexity. The use of Natural Rubber and technical linings offers a smart compromise between performance and price.
