BC Vest: 1MM (flat stitched)

WHY WE CALL IT THE BC VEST

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.

Geoprene is derived from 99.7% pure limestone. It is warmer (98% water impermeable) and lasts longer (titanium coated) than standard neoprene. It is also kinder to mother nature since it does not come from petroleum. Geoprene is exclusive to Yamamoto Corporation and Matuse, Inc.

SOLUTION-SPECIFIC FEATURES

1. SAFETY THROUGH BELL-CURVES

Heavy waves can pull a vest stright over your head. This is not only unfashionable, but can also 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

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 SEAMS = ZERO CHAFING

Matuse's unique shoulder design offers superior comfort without sacrificing fit and function.

4. HIGH ARM GUSSETS; LOW WATER INTRUSION

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

5. GEOPRENE STARTEGIC PANELING

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).
