Yamamoto’s technical rubber is called “Chloroprene.” The performance of Chloroprene is dependent on the raw material and its closed cell condition – if one or more cells are interconnected or if the wall of an individual cell is ruptured, the performance of the rubber is impaired. Yamamoto has been successful in producing the perfect independent […]

NanopreneShield® is another Yazbeck proprietary blend of Titanium Oxide lined directly on the naked open cell (split-cell), rendering it slick and smooth like Teflon™ and adding extra properties to the wetsuit, such as: 1-    Ease of donning; no need for lubrication 2-    Low friction; therefore reducing considerably the fatigue caused by the constant swimming  movements 3-    Bacteriotatic; bacterial rashes and odor […]

NanoPreneShield® and BioTermic® are special coatings mainly used to line, laminate or both, the split /open cell area of the 100% CR Yamamoto Neoprene. NanoPreneShield® and BioTermic® are basically the same except that the materials used in their composition differ. The former uses a Bio Ceramic which was invented by NASA in the early 70’s, […]

Yazbeck Wetsuits are made using Yamamoto Japan Neoprene exclusively. That Neoprene, being of 100% CR closed cells Chloroprene, it owes its extraordinary and superior thermal insulation and comfort features, to the hundreds of thousands of tiny nitrogen bubbles trapped in the tiny closed cells within the Chloroprene foam of the Neoprene itself. This is similar […]

A commonly known “Open Cell” wetsuit (technically a “Split Cell Inside) is a wetsuit that is NOT lined at all. Once the slab of Chloroprene master foam has been mechanically “split” (hence the correct appellation “split cell”), it becomes pure rubber with tens of thousands of tiny craters, which used to be the closed cells […]

The traditional wetsuit you find in dive-shops presents all of the following disadvantages: It allows water transfer to the inside of the suit, which then forms a liquid barrier between your skin and the neoprene. Water then absorbs your body temperature trying to match it, thus draining your own warmth while giving you the impression of […]

The Yazbeck wetsuit is made using the newest generation Neoprene that can only be manufactured in Japan. It must be 100% CR (Chloroprene)Neoprene, that’s why. The CR Neoprene relies on Nitrogen pockets for thermal isolation and the wetsuit can only be hand made by skillful professionals. The manufacturing procedure is very complex and takes a […]
