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.

Economy Ground, 2nd Day and Next Day orders will be shipped and delivered by UPS. Orders will be processed and shipped within one to two business days, excluding holidays and weekends. UPS shipping days are based on business days. Please keep this in mind when submitting your order.

5ft. no worries ..thank you

I am an aging surfer who finds that everything, including wipeouts, hurt more and slow down my swim for my board. It is easier to have my breath knocked out when I make contact with the wave in some situations. I like that I can still go under waves wearing this vest. Most of the bulk is in in the back, so I can still swim and paddle efficiently. Also having fun bodysurfing into the shore pound with my dog. Hard as heck to get off, but that's a good thing in surf and it can be done in the shower. Good product, adds another winter season to my surfing.

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.
