The Nineplus Yamamoto Front Zip is our most advanced wetsuit with over 4 years of research & development and countless hours of testing prior to releasing it as a wetsuit model into our lineup.
Produced inYAMAMOTO #39 neoprene this is a smooth skin wetsuit which is pretty technical whilst also maintaining the iconic Nineplus styling.
The suit featuresS.C.S.(Super Composite Skin) around the back and shoulders. The hydrophobic cells on the rubber surface repels water giving super low resistance helping you glide through the water if your swimming after your board or paddling.
The weight of the wetsuit comes in at just 2lbs (1kg). The suits have minimal water retention as the outside single lined smooth skin acts as a membrane and is impenetrable by water. The suits lining being nylon will dry out in under 15 minutes when left to dry inside out. The chest and back is lined in Zirconium thermal polypropylene which being water resistant keeps the core chest area warm. The leg panelling uses a complete piece of nylon to eliminate any seat seams and also doubles in flexibility.
Chest panel features fine mesh (textured smooth skin) to increase grip on board against the wax.
