What you should know about Seventhwave Wetsuits - Limited
The company began selling the material to manufacturers of finished end products. In 1951 he had the insight that a thin layer of trapped water could be tolerated between the wetsuit fabric and the skin, so long as insulation was present in the fabric in the form of trapped air bubbles. Bradner clearly understood that the air gas in the wetsuit fabric provided the best thermal insulation. Corporate legend has it that it was Jack O'Neill from San Francisco who pioneered the wetsuit.
He experimented with PVC stuffed into his trunks, but it wasn't until his bodysurfing friend, Harry Hind, showed Jack a sample of neoprene foam that his first wetsuit type vests emerged. Hind knew that neoprene was an insulating material thanks to his own laboratory work. Originally, neoprene wetsuits were made with raw sheets of foam rubber that did not have any backing material. Stretching and pulling excessively easily caused these suits to be torn in half.
This was somewhat remedied by thoroughly powdering the suit and the body with talc to help the rubber slide on more easily, but it was far from ideal. The problem of how to keep the neoprene from tearing and how to make wetsuits easier to slip on and off was solved with one simple solution laminating elastic nylon jersey to the surface of the neoprene. The chloroprene rubber chips needed for the first stage of production were produced during the polymerization process by heating oil which we are currently running out of worldwide to extremely high temperatures. Yamamoto has been marketing their Yamamoto limestone neoprene since this inception.
During the 1980s Yamamoto developed the warmth of neoprene by lining it with a Titanium Alloy Alpha coating prior to laminating, or directly onto the rubber finish. The name changed to Seventhwave Wetsuits Ltd in 1996 to reflect the move from wholesale to a retail business. This change, coupled with the newly developed Custom Fit system and the introduction of the internet, led the company to the path it is on today online custom fit wetsuits, delivered worldwide.

It is important to know these factors and to take them into consideration with your own personal requirements. Click on your water temperature FREEZING WATER VERY COLD WATER COLD WATER COOL WATER WARM WATER VERY WARM WATER. Cold water dangerously accelerates the onset of hypothermia body heat can be lost 30 times faster in cold water than in cold air so the right wetsuit is essential. Likewise, if you want to stay out for longer periods in colder water you need maximum insulation. Phone International NZ freephone AUS freephone Email
