BC Vest 1mm

View the Conceptual Design

The BC stands for "Bell Curve." The BC Vest's front and back Bell Curve paneling ensures your vest stays on-even when the surf's going off. A vest that locks down in a heavy wave is not only warmer but also safer.

Perfect for the tropics. You only notice it because you never get rashes or wind chill.

Solution-Specific Features

  1. SAFETY THROUGH BELL-CURVES

    2. Heavy waves can pull a vest straight over your head. This is not only unfashionable, but can be dangerous. Matuse's Bell Curve entry forms a snug yet functional fit to ensure your vest stays on-even when the surf's going off.

  2. ERGONOMIC & CUSTOM TAILORING

    3. Matuse's mid-body panels hug the torso in the right places to maximize comfort and performance. The short loop and elastic pull-string combine to provide a custom waist fit.

  3. ZERO SHOULDER & LAT SEAMS = ZERO CHAFING

    4. Matuse's unique shoulder and side seam design offers superior comfort without sacrificing fit and function. Make chafing a thing of the past.

  4. HIGH ARM GUSSETS; LOW WATER INTRUSION

    5. Keeping cold water out and body heat in is the whole point. Other vests must have missed the memo.

  5. GEOPRENE STRATEGIC PANELING

    6. Super-low modulus, max-flex Geoprene that keeps the body's thermostatic line balanced (i.e. you don't get hot and tired from fighting your suit or cold and bitter from that oil-based neoprene).

Technology in this Ichiban Product

  • Geoprene is derived from 99.7% pure limestone. It’s warmer (98% water impermeable compared to the standard 69%), lighter and lasts longer than oil-based neoprene. It’s also kinder to Mother Nature since it wastes less biomass and comes from a sustainable resource—not petroleum. Geoprene is exclusive to Yamamoto Corporation and Matuse, Inc.
