Rubber neck seal, minimum bulk, easy put on and put off. Durable entry holds up to all boy types. The flap that comes over the head and gives you the ultimate fit with the added rubber smoothy neck seal to ensure minimum water flushing, we have smoothy rubber  that raps over the shoulders once the flap is in place to give extra flushing resistence. After heavy testing with our team we have added a YKK short zip easy slide on slide off with button clip hold. The 5050 balance concept means the body has the same stress levels applied on the body while paddling to reduce fatigue and twisting in the upper body. The Flap zip or rebound as the chest-zipor slanted chest zip wetsuits entry has many advantages over the traditional back zip. The flap zip provides you a better fit around your upper torso and has better flexibility for your lower back. We at Glidz Japan highly recommend this style of entry system.

FREEDOM ! Designed to fit the body instead of stretching over it. Glidz Japan wetsuits are Hand made in Japan with a no-compromise approach. Our goal is to CAD design the wetsuit to sit on the body to give you a longer surf session experience. Part of the secret of the Glidz Japan perfection in wetsuit manufacture is that we make sure that all neoprene is stitched and aligned with the body for maximum pullback and  flexibility. Our hand-crafted, custom suits are painstakingly constructed to fit YOU what ever shape you are, offering the most freedom of movement a wetsuit can offer.  Glidz Japan our super light limestone base Fiber-Light™ premium Japanese neoprene allows for unrestricted style and movement.

Traditional Japanese style glued and double bounded stitching. The neoprene is glued edge to edge using a two part chemically cured flexible resin, and is stitched using a curved needle which only penetrates half way through the material. All major stress points in the suit are double glued and blind stitched on both sides thereby producing no holes while maintaining a strong hold on the neoprene where it is needed. We use stretch tape on all major stressed areas allowing for maximum strength and unrestricted stretch. Why not do the entire suit this way? You would loose movement and flex in the neoprene and also have a lot more stitching to rub against your skin. Glidzjapan uses the finest quality stitching material which is available. We use different thicknesses and our water tight stitching is cleverly calculated to ensure you gain maximum stretch in the neoprene, giving you ultimate flexibility.

Our super light limestone base Fiber-Light™ premium Japanese neoprene has a slightly thicker feel to it than the international suits as the inner sponge layer is thicker for a better GBS stitch quality. Through the feedback of our team the general consensus is that the 202mm is an equivalent to a standard international suit 302mm. Obviously if you feel the cold run with the 302mm or you can add the options of the Bio Hybrid Thermo to add extra warmth on the 202mm suits as well. Ice cold regions we have 'Coldwater Exiv Freedom' wetsuit Hooded or Non hooded with the options of Bio Hybrid Thermo or Premium Bio Hybrid Thermo or a mix to give you ever freedom for you to create the perfect suit.
