MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY
Ocean Tailored Yamamoto rubber custom wetsuits are designed with anatomical panels and pre-shaped flex points, and feature a seamless lumbar design. We triple glue, blind-stitch, and tape all our seams. This design approach ensures unrestricted movement, and strong, watertight seams, so you can stay warm and comfortable your whole session. Our philosophy is to make a better wetsuit that lasts longer. That's better for you, and better for the planet. Check out all our innovative wetsuit materials and technology below.

The Ocean Tailored Wind Shield is a surface coating on our neoprene that provides excellent wind protection, water repellency, and effective heat absorption.
Smooth Skin Edge Seal Special surface treatment at edge part to make it smooth and water proof, got perfect softness and hand feeling.
We fuse a neoprene layer at the ends of the arms and legs for a thinner, more aesthetic look. This process also protects the inner neoprene foam.

Our durable, flexible knee pads are made with a combination of compression-resistant rubber and high stretch abrasion-resistant fabric. The result, a knee pad that flexes easily while protecting your knees and your board.
Our wetsuits feature an Aqua Flush ankle panel that allows trapped water to drain out. No more balloon legs.
Our wetsuits come with strong, lightweight ankle straps to prevent water from shooting up your wetsuit legs.
Sealing prints on our wetsuits cinch the wrists and ankles. This helps keep water out and prevents the arm and leg cuffs from sliding up.

Critical Taping. High stress-load seams, like the crotch and kneepads, are taped for extra
strength, durability, and water tightness. Your suit will be warmer and last longer.
Melco Dots for extra strength. Round patches of Melco Tape are applied anywhere three joints of
neoprene meet, and in seam areas that are put under the most stress (like seams and joints around
the wetsuit entry points). This reinforces seam and joint strength, ensuring that your custom suit can
withstand the pulling and stretching of daily use.
Ocean Tailored custom wetsuit is constructed with a unique process where the neoprene layers are first glued together and then "blind-stitched". This means the needle doesn't fully penetrate the neoprene layer. Following this, a heat-on tape is welded to the seam using an air heater machine. This technique enhances the durability, waterproofness, and flexibility of our wetsuits.
Superior Fitting
Ocean Tailored custom wetsuits, designed with anatomical panels and pre-shaped areas, feature a seamless lumbar design and minimal seams. This design approach ensures unrestricted movement and reduces seam stress, thereby extending the wetsuit's durability.

Anti Slip Seals
Sealing prints on our wetsuits cinch the wrists and ankles. This helps keep water out and prevents the arm and leg cuffs from sliding up.
Drainage Holes
Our wetsuits feature strategically placed drain holes so any trapped water can flush right out.
Aqua Flush
Our wetsuits feature an Aqua Flush ankle panel that allows trapped water to drain out. No more balloon legs.
Ankle Straps

GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched)
Ocean Tailored custom wetsuits are constructed with a unique process in which the neoprene layers are triple glued, blind-stitched, then taped. Blind-stitching means the needle doesn't go all the way through the neoprene. Fewer holes, fewer leak points. Glued seams greatly reduce leaking and add strength to the seams. We triple glue ours for maximum strength. Tape prevents the seams from separating, and further reduces leaks. Add all these together and you get a suit that's extra warm, super flexible, and incredibly durable.
Batwing
The Batwing creates a water barrier between you and the zipper. It also comes with a collar for extra protection and warmth. Drain holes at the base of the zipper panel ensure any extra water can flush right out. Smooth Skin Edge Seal Our Smooth Skin Edge Seal helps seal your wetsuit at the critical points. And it's more comfortable.
