Yamamoto neoprene is the most well known and top of the line neoprene you can get on the market. There are different grades of Yamamoto neoprene - we use only Yamamoto 45, which is ideal for diving as it doesn't collapse and compress as easily the Yamamoto 39, whilst staying wonderfully flexible and soft.
Smoothskin open cells: The warmest, fastest, most comfortable and flexible fit you will ever wear. If you're into competitions - these are the wetsuits you need. However, these wetsuits are very delicate and will need very gentle handling, as well as plenty of lube for getting in and out.
Smoothskin: Glide through the water faster, with lower friction and drag. Warm up quicker as water beads off and evaporates quickly
Open cell: Stay warmer as open cell traps water right next to your skin. You'll need lube to put this on
Gold coated interiors are open-cell neoprene with gold particles embedded throughout the wetsuit. Yes, real gold! It's not a lining, but rather a coating. This makes the wetsuit much easier to put on (and sometimes even dry!), and reflects heat effectively back to your body.
