The Matuse Lorica, inspired by the Latin word for body armor, is designed to provide protection in medium to large surfing conditions.

Specifically crafted for surf enthusiasts seeking additional flotation and safety, the Lorica is ideal for situations where paddling and duck-diving are essential.

We recommend using the Lorica in surf conditions under 20 feet, and when used in larger waves, it is more effective when worn under a wetsuit. The Lorica is also popular among stand-up paddle surfers for added safety floatation.

If you choose to wear the Lorica as a stand-alone vest, be sure to use the elastic ribbon short loop and ensure you have a snug fit.

NOTE: Surfing big waves can be dangerous, but you know that. The Lorica is designed to help you push your personal limits safely. Always ensure you can get back to the beach if all your equipment fails aka when in doubt, don’t paddle out.

Anatomically Engineered Flotation: Strategically placed flotation foam panels offer added impact protection. These panels are soft and pliable, but take abuse due to the durable construction. The paneling design ensures you maintain a full range of motion during any activity.
Thermal Insulation and Buoyancy: The floatation foam not only shields you from impacts, but also provides exceptional thermal insulation and buoyancy, ensuring you stay comfortably afloat in various water conditions.
• Effortless Access with Front Side-Zipper Closure: Our front side-zipper closure is designed for easy access while guaranteeing the best fit. Say goodbye to compression straps as this feature allows you to enjoy deep breaths without any discomfort.
• Hydrasilk Nylon Exterior for Longevity: Crafted with Hydrasilk Pro Nylon, our premium material minimizes water adsorption and maintains your suit’s overall shape, contributing to the longevity of your gear.

Impact vest

I like the minimal bulk of the Lorica. Im worried in big surf it will ride up from the bottom. We’ll see.
Make a SHORT JOHN IMPACT SUIT. i see very few available on the market and those are too bulky/padded. The Lorica Short John would kill it.
