Apeks THERMIQ 5mm Semi-Dry Wetsuit Men’s
Stay warmer for longer and extend bottom times with even heat distribution that increases body temperature by an average of 2°C. Equalizes skin temperature by transferring heat from warmer parts of the body to colder ones without needing a power source. Experience supreme comfort whilst diving with super-stretch limestone neoprene that provides ultimate flexibility both in and out of the water.
WHAT IS GRAPHENE?
Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice and conducts heat better than any material on earth. Graphene equalizes the body temperature – transferring heat from warmer parts of the body to colder parts – without the need for a power source. It increases the body temperature by an average of 2°C and has earned itself the title of ‘wonder material.
THERMIQ 5mm Semi-Dry Wetsuit Features:
- ECO NEOPRENE: Neoprene made from limestone is kinder to the environment than traditional petroleum-based neoprene.
- LIQUID SEAMS: Double stitched and sealed seams prevent water entry and increase the wetsuit’s life.
- SUPER STRETCH: 4-way stretch neoprene so you can move with minimal restrictions.
- INTERNAL SEALS: Internal wrist and ankle seals minimize water entry keeping you warmer and drier.
- WATER-BASED GLUE: (AQUA A) Water-based lamination and bonding adhesives use less harmful chemicals and solvents.
- GRAPHENE TECHNOLOGY: Superconductor lining transfers heat from warm spots to cold spots.
- RECYCLED LAMINATION FABRIC: Lamination fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles.
Environmental Conscious
Apeks are committed to using environmentally friendly materials and processes whenever possible to help reduce our carbon footprint.
Water-based Glue
We turned solvent-based laminating glue into water-based glue, eliminating harmful volatile organic compounds.
Dope-Dyed Yarn
Dope-dying infuses dye pigments into the molten plastic solution to produce coloured yarns without dying process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
Eco Carbon black
Carbon black, one of the key ingredients of neoprene, can now be made from scrap rubber tyers. This significantly reduces energy consumption and reduces CO2 emission by 200g per wetsuit.
Limestone neoprene
The main neoprene compound uses calcium carbonate from limestone to form chloroprene rubber chips, remains chloroprene instead of using dirty petroleum-based ingredients.
