Swimsuit 3/2 mm (Diving Costume) Tribord Dinghy 500

The concept of neoprene insulation:
By immobilizing a film of water around the body, the wetsuit performs two actions:
1. The water retained inside the neoprene is gradually heated.
2. It reduces the evacuation of heat to the outside.
The suit and the film of water form an insulating layer.

The neoprene is made of a closed-cell elastomer foam containing nitrogen bubbles with insulating properties.
The GBS technical design of the DG500 dinghy/catamaran wetsuit for cool and cold weather:
The DG500 Tribord wetsuit is made entirely of neoprene (thickness: 3 mm) to ensure good thermal insulation.

The seams are sewn with a strong thread, special for this type of component, and glued so that water does not pass through them (GBS).
A neoprene band has been sewn under the zipper to reduce the cooling effects of any incoming water.
