Zipper is lighter weight and corrosion resistant. Less-toxic bonding agent for people with skin sensitivities. Interior 4-way stretch nylon-spandex has a higher thread count than other brands for more stretch and durability, faster drying, and to minimize chafing.
The Black Pearl has the same design, construction, and fit as the T1 First Wave, but is made of GreenGoma #8 Rubber with Super Composite Skin. Stretchy 5mm thick rubber starts at the ankles, goes up to the crotch and around the sides of the hips to float the legs and hips more than any other wetsuit.
Low profile 2mm Bib straps with soft Lycra trim go over the trapezius (base of neck) to allow unrestricted reach, prevents tired shoulders, and aids in faster swim times. Angled leg openings for faster and easy removal. Longer seam tape for self-customizing leg length.
Seams are glued and blind-stitched, making them more durable than the rubber itself. Sleek graphics, no gimmicks. Sold as separates for a true customized fit. Chlorine resistant treatment, but not recommend for repeated use in chlorinated water.
