The Eminence combines 7mm stretch neoprene with Quick-Dry thermal lining panels and a rear Batwing barrier. The barrier sits behind the zip to help interrupt water movement, with smooth neck and cuff seals completing the close-fitting design.
Features and Benefits
- Flexible panels: Stretch in the material helps the suit follow shoulder, hip and knee movement. This supports reaching equipment and swimming when the suit is correctly sized.
- Seam construction: Glued and blind-stitched with tape at stress areas. The joins help limit water passage through the panels and support the areas that flex when you move.
- Water control at the openings: Wrist and ankle slide-through seals with silicone tape. A close seal reduces the repeated replacement of warmed water with colder water. Check that the seals sit flat and overlap properly with the rest of your exposure gear.
- Practical entry: Rear zip with Batwing water barrier. Open the entry fully before changing and settle the panels into place before closing it. A backing flap or internal barrier, where fitted, interrupts the direct path of water through the zip.
- Inner lining: Quick-Dry thermal panels. The inner surface adds comfort against the body and works with the suit’s neoprene insulation; let it dry fully between sessions.
- Reinforcement: Shoulder panels and Supratex knees. These panels help resist everyday rubbing at contact points without requiring the whole suit to use the same tougher outer material.

Fit and Sizing
Compare your chest, waist, hips and height with the model’s size guide. The suit should sit closely without restricting breathing or shoulder movement. Settle the panels into place and check for excessive gaps or folds before deciding on a size. Match the thickness and coverage to the water conditions, activity and your own comfort. Warmth depends on fit, exposure time and the rest of your exposure gear.

Gear Care and Washing
After every use, rinse the suit inside and out in cool fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, sand and other residue. Gently hand wash when needed using a wetsuit cleaner suitable for the material, following the cleaner’s dilution instructions and the garment care label. Rinse thoroughly after washing.
Let both sides dry completely in the shade with good airflow. Support the suit on a broad wetsuit hanger, or drape it over a wide support to avoid stretching the shoulders. Store clean and dry in a cool place away from direct sunlight, heaters, hot cars and sharp folds.
Handle smooth seals and inner surfaces gently. Avoid scraping, scrubbing, fingernails and jewellery, and do not stretch a seal by pulling on a small section of it.
Rinse sand and salt from the zip and close hook-and-loop tabs so they cannot snag the fabric. Never force a jammed zip. Use only the zip maker’s specified lubricant and storage position; ordinary wax or silicone is not suitable for every specialist zip.
Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, bleach or use solvents. Follow the supplied care instructions for this suit and its zip before using any cleaning or maintenance product.
