Features
Buoyancy
5mm Yamamoto Aerodome limestone neoprene, designed such that its placement creates a buoyancy profile specific for fresh water use. We term it the Buoyancy Tray™. The panel adds to core body stabilisation and the central front column shape promotes swim-roll dynamics
Warmth
The ability to enjoy your swim can be a factor of 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 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 dissipated out into the water. It works.
Visibility
With increasing recreational water activity it makes sense to do as much as possible to be seen. Arm and Latimus Dorsi panels, made from super supple Yamamoto #40 SCS limestone neoprene, features our vivid coral print, using a thin water based ink in either a hi-vis Orange or Pink (Male / Female). The other suit version is in an equally visible white. They stand out in the water compared to other wetsuits aiding visibility.
Ruby Fresh Wetsuits - a need you never knew you needed...
The concept of making a wetsuit specifically for use in fresh water you might think is obvious. But no one's made one to date. We know! From our root in our event The Ruby Swim and from our solid swimmer base at our HQ in Wanaka NZ, the concept of creating our own wet suit specifically for our requirements emerged. But the concepts are relevant in freshwater lakes, rivers and canals the world over. We have loads planned with different panel profiles and colours yet to come. But take a look at this short movie which shows the environment in which The Ruby Fresh wetsuit was born.
