WHY WE USE NEOPRENE

It's Used in Wetsuits

Its most famous application is for use exploring the watery depths. If you've ever gone surfing or scuba diving and wore a wetsuit, you almost certainly wore neoprene. Resilient and UV-resistant, neoprene is perfectly suited for the active use and protection.

It's Used in Space

Sounds crazy, but it's true. NASA astronauts perform EVAs (extravehicular activities, or "space walks") in neoprene-coated nylon. If it's good enough for fixing the Hubble Telescope, it's can certainly withstand everyday use.

It's Completely Opaque

Developed in the 1930s as an oil-resistant material, not only is neoprene tough, but it's not in the least bit see-through. 

It's Versatile

Perhaps because of its success in the worlds of space and ocean exploration, neoprene is well-suited as a fashion material. 

You're Not Alone

This remarkable material has only grown in popularity over the years, and is commonly seen gracing catwalks all over the world. Among the designers who feature it are Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, and Louis Vuitton.
