Whether you like to swim forexercise or are on the swim course of a Triathlon, T1 Wetsuits offer you speed,comfort and buoyancy that will make swimming pure pleasure. All T1 Wetsuits aremade of GreenGoma a limestone rubber...bye-bye petroleum wetsuits Untilrecently all triathlon wetsuits have been made of petroleum. First in theindustry to introduce limestone rubber into our wetsuits, all T1 Wetsuitsincorporate this amazing GreenGoma technology. So what does this all mean toyou ? GreenGoma rubber offers better stretch, buoyancy, durability, andinsulation with a more closed-cell injected construction thus making it 98.9%water impermeable. So it is lighter, it dries quicker, and lasts longer. Theonly part of the rubber that gets wet is the new stretch liner that is now madeof recycled post consumer products. So is this rubber environmentally friendly? Is it a green wetsuit ? We have seamlessly replaced one rubber with anotherthat is better, more buoyant, helps you swim faster, and lasts longer. Ifnothing else were to change, you will have a better-perforeming product withless detriment to the environment, which is always our goal. Please allow us tobe perfectly upfront. There are a handful of companies that are manufacturingwetsuits out of limestone rubber and then marketing them asenvironmentally-friendly. Currently, wetsuit rubber is either made ofpetroleum, which begins with oil exploration and drilling, or, in thealternative, made of limestone, which begins with mining. Both petroleum andlimestone have taken hundreds of thousands of years to produce and both arenonrenewable resources; both are in limited supply on our earth, require heat,and create pollution and waste to refine into a finished product. So for one toclaim that a limestone wetsuit is green is just not true, at least not yet.It is apparent in light of the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, thatlimestone is cleaner when one considers the risk of environmental disasters.The factory that makes our GreenGoma uses much less heat to refine it ascompared to its petroleum counterpart. This is a step in the right direction.In order for us step away from limestone in the future, we need to first stepaway from petroleum and look for other greener options. The idea of tryingto create a green wetsuit has inspired us to change to recycled internalfabrics with no VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) dyes. The use of non-toxiclaminates and adhesives during the assembly process are additional steps in ourgoal. We are getting closer to finding water-based adhesives that are strongerand more flexible. Finally we are working with YKK on developing a wetsuitzipper made of recycled materials. As for recyclability and sustainability, nowetsuit rubber in the world is recyclable. Yes, old triathlon wetsuits can andshould be re-used for other sports, or can be cut up and used as potholders,used for insulation and even be turned into beer and soft drink koozies. Fornow, the most obvious form of sustainability is simply that we have created awetsuit that will last longer, so you will not have to replace it as soon.Before any of us can swim 2.4 miles, we first need to get across the length ofa pool. When it comes to making a greener wetsuit, we are the first to dive in!

First in the industry to introduce limestone rubber into our wetsuits, all T1 Wetsuits incorporate this amazing GreenGoma technology.So what does this all mean to you ?GreenGoma rubber offers better stretch, buoyancy, durability, and insulation with a more closed-cell injected construction thus making it 98.9% water impermeable.

The only part of the rubber that gets wet is the new stretch liner that is now made of recycled post consumer products.So is this rubber environmentally friendly ? Is it a green wetsuit ?We have seamlessly replaced one rubber with another that is better, more buoyant, helps you swim faster, and lasts longer. If nothing else were to change, you will have a better-perforeming product with less detriment to the environment, which is always our goal.Please allow us to be perfectly upfront. There are a handful of companies that are manufacturing wetsuits out of limestone rubber and then marketing them as environmentally-friendly. Currently, wetsuit rubber is either made of petroleum, which begins with oil exploration and drilling, or, in the alternative, made of limestone, which begins with mining. Both petroleum and limestone have taken hundreds of thousands of years to produce and both are nonrenewable resources; both are in limited supply on our earth, require heat, and create pollution and waste to refine into a finished product. So for one to claim that a limestone wetsuit is green is just not true, at least not yet.It is apparent in light of the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, that limestone is cleaner when one considers the risk of environmental disasters. The factory that makes our GreenGoma uses much less heat to refine it as compared to its petroleum counterpart. This is a step in the right direction.In order for us step away from limestone in the future, we need to first step away from petroleum and look for other greener options. The idea of trying to create a green wetsuit has inspired us to change to recycled internal fabrics with no VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) dyes. The use of non-toxic laminates and adhesives during the assembly process are additional steps in our goal. We are getting closer to finding water-based adhesives that are stronger and more flexible. Finally we are working with YKK on developing a wetsuit zipper made of recycled materials.As for recyclability and sustainability, no wetsuit rubber in the world is recyclable. Yes, old triathlon wetsuits can and should be re-used for other sports, or can be cut up and used as potholders, used for insulation and even be turned into beer and soft drink koozies. For now, the most obvious form of sustainability is simply that we have created a wetsuit that will last longer, so you will not have to replace it as soon.Before any of us can swim 2.4 miles, we first need to get across the length of a pool.

OurSkin Cooler fiber is designed to feel and perform like silk (from a silkworm).Through Biomimicry, we and created a synthetic silk. It will keep you cool inhot weather and cooler when it is wet. Put it on and you will instantly feelthe cool sensation. Wet it and you will notice a drop in the surfacetemperature of the skin between 7 and 10 degrees. A MEDICAL TESTIM0NIAL: Wereceived this letter from Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon Dr. Michael Bax.* I aman avid runner and triathlete and I recently discovered your Skin Coolerproducts, of which I'm a huge fan. I have been wearing them for a few monthsnow and couldn't be happier. I am a dermatologist and Mohs surgeon at RoswellPark Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY. Every patient I see is plagued by basalcell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma. I recommend your productsto my active patients on a daily basis. It allows them to continue their activelifestyle while protecting themselves from the sun. I find your product to befar superior to all other cooling and sun protective lines. I truly appreciateyour efforts and innovations. Michael Bax, MD Roswell Park Cancer InstituteScott Bieler Clinical Science Center Buffalo, New York ***Dr. Bax has nofinancial investment in De Soto Sport and was not solicited nor compensated inany way for his letter. Note: No garment should ever be a substitute so wealways recommend you wear sunscreen underneath these, and all, products. It iscrucial to keep in mind that a sunscreen's (whichever brand you may choose)SPF/UPF rating refers only to its ability to protect skin from UVB radiation.Because we know that UVA damage can be just as insidious, it is essential forthe health of your skin that you use a sunscreen that contains theUVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.
T1 FIRST WAVE BIBJOHN The two-piece design of the T1 Wetsuits offer morecomfort and less restriction. Because the top and bottom are not attached, youhave much more freedom of movement and there is no torso-rubber stretch orshoulder fatigue that occurs with one-piece wetsuits. All T1 models are sold asseparates for a more customized and personal fit. With up to seven sizes oftops and bottoms, you have 49 possible size combinations from which to choose.Other features we innovated many years ago include lower necklines and thickerrubber in the legs and hips to help float the largest bones and muscles in thebody. More floatation here means more speed. T1 Wetsuits are not filled withgimmicks, just physics. The First Wave is simply the best wetsuit in the worldand we challenge it against any other more expensive brands to the test. Ourhigh-end suit is lined with 4-way stretch Nylon Lycra® to minimize chafing. Allseams are glued and blind-stitched, making them stronger than the rubberitself. All wetsuit models feature sleek graphics and are sold as separates fora more customized fit. The Bibjohn is 5mm thick from the oval ankle openings upto the crotch and up the sides of the hips. From that seam up, the Bibjohn is2mm thick. This includes the midsection around the stomach, low back, as wellas the bib straps that extent up the spine in back and up the chest in front.It is designed like this so that when you wear any of our T1 tops, the totalrubber thickness remains less than 5mm thick, so you have all the neededflexibility, while keeping your spine and vital organs warm, thus keeping youtoasty warm. The total thickness also adheres to all rulings from all nationaland international governing organizations that limit the maximum wetsuitthickness to 5mm. Please check your size in Product FAQs. • Flexible 2mm bodyand arms with a lower neckline. • BIO-StROKE design puts your arms into aforward shoulder position for a more efficient swim stroke. • YKK® CustomZipper ist he smallest and lightest and makes removal easier than ever. •GreenGoma™ #9 Rubber with Super Composite Skin makes the First Wave thewarmest, fastest, most durable, flexible and Buoyant and the most comfortablewetsuit in the world today. • Chlorine resistant treatment, but not recommendfor repeated use in chlorinated water. • Lighter zipper weighs 30% less withsame tensile strength and lower neckline. All T1 Wetsuits are made ofGreenGoma™ a limestone rubber...bye-bye petroleum wetsuits Until recently alltriathlon wetsuits have been made of petroleum. First in the industry tointroduce limestone rubber into our wetsuits, all T1 Wetsuits incorporate thisamazing GreenGoma™ technology. So what does this all mean to you ? GreenGoma™rubber offers better stretch, buoyancy, durability, and insulation with a moreclosed-cell injected construction thus making it 98.9% water impermeable. So itis lighter, it dries quicker, and lasts longer. The only part of the rubberthat gets wet is the new stretch liner that is now made of recycled postconsumer products. So is this rubber environmentally friendly ? Is it a greenwetsuit ? We have seamlessly replaced one rubber with another that is better,more buoyant, helps you swim faster, and lasts longer. If nothing else were tochange, you will have a better-perforeming product with less detriment to theenvironment, which is always our goal. Please allow us to be perfectly upfront.There are a handful of companies that are manufacturing wetsuits out oflimestone rubber and then marketing them as environmentally-friendly.Currently, wetsuit rubber is either made of petroleum, which begins with oilexploration and drilling, or, in the alternative, made of limestone, whichbegins with mining. Both petroleum and limestone have taken hundreds ofthousands of years to produce and both are nonrenewable resources; both are inlimited supply on our earth, require heat, and create pollution and waste torefine into a finished product. So for one to claim that a limestone wetsuit isgreen is just not true, at least not yet. It is apparent in light of therecent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, that limestone is cleaner when oneconsiders the risk of environmental disasters. The factory that makes ourGreenGoma™ uses much less heat to refine it as compared to its petroleumcounterpart. This is a step in the right direction. In order for us step awayfrom limestone in the future, we need to first step away from petroleum andlook for other greener options. The idea of trying to create a green wetsuithas inspired us to change to recycled internal fabrics with no VOC (VolatileOrganic Compounds) dyes. The use of non-toxic laminates and adhesives duringthe assembly process are additional steps in our goal. We are getting closer tofinding water-based adhesives that are stronger and more flexible. Finally weare working with YKK on developing a wetsuit zipper made of recycled materials.As for recyclability and sustainability, no wetsuit rubber in the world isrecyclable. Yes, old triathlon wetsuits can and should be re-used for othersports, or can be cut up and used as potholders, used for insulation and evenbe turned into beer and soft drink koozies. For now, the most obvious form ofsustainability is simply that we have created a wetsuit that will last longer,so you will not have to replace it as soon. Before any of us can swim 2.4miles, we first need to get across the length of a pool. When it comes tomaking a greener wetsuit, we are the first to dive in !
