COMPOSITION:
Graphene Furnace: Exclusive BILLABONG material had been awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics and is used in the construction of full wetsuits. It provides a lighter, stronger, warmer and more durable lining.
- Unique heat conductor for a high level of warmth
- Lining is 50% lighter and 10°C warmer than a traditional hollow fibre lining
- 200 times more resistant than steel
GBS Seams: This invisible stitch is well-named because the stitches do not go all the way through the neoprene so they can't be seen.
If a wetsuit has hidden stitches, it is also taped to prevent water seeping in. Hidden stitch-bonded seams for water resistance. A wetsuit with hidden stitches is also taped in high tension zones.
CONSTRUCTION:
Billabong wetsuits are made durable to protect the oceans:
- Recycling: 30% recycled car tyres
- Water-base adhesive: non-toxic replacement for traditional solvent-based glue
- Limestone Neoprene: natural limestone neoprene to replace traditional petrochemical materials
- Yarn dyeing: black, graphite and navy are made through Dope Dying to reduce water consumption by 90% compared to traditional dying methods
- Biodegradable packaging: these wetsuits are delivered in biodegradable, environmentally friendly packaging
