Technologies
Quickdry Lining
The Quickdry hollow fibre inner lining absorbs around 20% less water , channels water towards the back of the fabric and drains it quickly: the wetsuit remains lighter , dries quickly and is warmer and more comfortable.
Velcro Ankle Strap
Removable Velcro ankle straps: help limit water entry from below and better “seal” the wetsuit, especially when using booties in very cold conditions.
Limestone Neoprene
Limestone-based neoprene: more eco-friendly, with excellent stretch and insulation. The "intense black" color uses a dope-dye technique that reduces water consumption and pollution. Black absorbs heat better, extending sessions.
Differentiated Tape Width
Two internal tape widths to balance strength and weight: 14 mm in the most stressed areas (crotch) and 10 mm in the rest of the panels. The result: improved elasticity where needed and maximum durability.
Powerseams | Stitchless Technology
Among the strongest seams available without losing stretch: liquid Powerseam on the outside to block water entry, internal neotape with “stitchless” technology to reinforce the seam and reduce the risk of irritation.
Back Drain Holes
Additional drainage holes in the upper back (between the shoulder blades): help expel water that may enter after significant falls, before it comes into contact with the body.
Leg Drain Holes
Drainage holes on the legs: Water drains quickly, preventing the “full legs” effect, so you can continue surfing without having to empty or adjust the cuffs.
Neotape
Internal taping that covers and reinforces the seams: creates an extra barrier against infiltrations and improves thermal insulation, increasing comfort and warmth.

Q&A
How hot is Fahrenheit?
It's a high-end winter wetsuit designed for very cold water: heat-sealed internal taping, water-repellent panels and a Quickdry lining help retain heat and reduce the “wet” feel.
What are the advantages of the Chest Zip closure?
The chest zip reduces leaks compared to back zips and improves back mobility, keeping the wetsuit warmer and performing better.
What does Powerseam “stitchless” mean?
It features a highly durable seam construction: liquid Powerseam on the outside and heat-sealed Neotape reinforcement on the inside. The result: greater resistance, less leakage, and less irritation.
Does the Quickdry liner really dry faster?
Yes: the hollow fiber absorbs less water and channels it towards the back of the lining, promoting drainage and quick drying (useful between sessions).
What are Velcro ankle straps used for?
They help seal the wetsuit at the ankle, reducing water entry from below. They're removable and very useful with booties in cold conditions.
Do the drainage holes let water in?
No: they are designed to quickly release any water that may enter after falls or splashes, avoiding stagnation and keeping the suit more comfortable while surfing.
Is it available with a hood?
Yes, the Fahrenheit is also available in a hooded version for those sailing in very cold water or strong winds.
