Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket made of neoprene?
No, this jacket uses a bio-based foam made from FSC-certified natural rubber, soybean oil, and oyster shell powder.
What water temperatures is 1mm thickness suitable for?
The 1mm thickness is intended for warm-temperate to tropical water temperatures where light thermal protection is required.
How do I care for the natural rubber material?
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water, avoid direct sunlight, and never use harsh detergents or bleach.
Can I use this for swimming or just surfing?
While optimized for surfing, the flexible design makes it excellent for swimming, paddleboarding, and other high-motion water sports.
Why are there oyster shells in my wetsuit?
Oyster shell powder is integrated into the foam compound as an innovative, sustainable filler that helps replace petroleum-based additives.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the chest entry
Ensure the suit is pulled up completely and that the internal flap is flat against your skin before pulling the zipper slider.
Water leaking through the neck
Check that the Glideskin seal is making direct contact with your skin and not folded inward; adjust the collar to ensure a tight, flat fit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Eco-friendly, neoprene-free material composition
- Highly flexible for unencumbered movement
- Quick-drying thermal interior

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Natural Seas jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Donning: Enter feet first or over the head depending on preference, ensuring the chest-zip mechanism is fully closed to ensure the seal works correctly.
- Rinsing: Always rinse the jacket inside and out with fresh, cold water after every session to remove salt, sand, and organic residue.
- Drying: Hang the jacket on a wide, plastic hanger in a shaded area away from direct sunlight. Sunlight can degrade the natural rubber components over time.
- Storage: Never store the suit bunched up or in a hot vehicle. Keep it stored flat or on a proper hanger in a cool, dry place.
