Features
-
Buoyancy
The Flow model incorporates 5 mm Yamamoto Aerodome limestone neoprene and its placement creates a buoyancy profile specifically for freshwater use. We term it the Buoyancy Tray™. This panel adds to core body stabilisation and the central front panel shape improves swim-roll dynamics. The introduction of our new model, The Echo, provides a more Balanced Buoyancy profile, better suited for more proficient swimmers or those swimming mainly in the Salty Sea.
-
Warmth
The ability to enjoy your swim can be determined by how long you can stay in the water. A substantial part of either end of the swimming season rests in the boundary between 'hot' and 'cold' — within the range of 11°-15°C. Increase the length of your swim season by using the attributes of the Titanium lining which reflects between 35-40% of your generated body heat back in to you rather than being dissipated out into the water. It works.
-
Visibility
With the increase in recreational water activities, it makes sense to be as clearly visible as possible. Arm and latimus dorsi panels, made from super-supple Yamamoto #40 SCS limestone neoprene, feature our vivid coral print, using a thin water-based ink in either a hi-vis pink (Version 2 only) or orange. There is an alternative and equally visible white version. Compared to other wetsuits, they stand out far more in the water, aiding visibility and thus safety.

Ruby Fresh Wetsuits — a need you never knew you had ...
The concept of making a wetsuit specifically for freshwater use might seem obvious, but no one has ever made one ... until now! From the roots of our event The Ruby Swim and from the solid swimmer base at our HQ in Wanaka NZ, so emerged the concept of creating our own wetsuit specifically for our own requirements. The concept is also relevant to freshwater lakes, rivers and canals the world over — we have loads planned with different panel profiles and colours yet to come. Take a look at the short movie below which shows the environment in which The Ruby Fresh wetsuit was born.
