Matuse Tumo 4/3/2
The new TUMO features can be seen in Matuse Tumo 4/3/2, one of which is the angled front-entry system. The YKK AquaSeal zipper provides additional protection against water entry. The Hidden Chamber Technology in the chest and back trap the body’s natural radiant heat. It has a 98% water impermeable Geoprene and a HydraSilk throughout which make suits lighter, warmer, more durable and dry faster. The Matuse Tumo is available in 5/4/3 mm and 2 mm.
This wetsuit is considered to be one of the most advanced among the other wetsuits. Modern day surfers who invest in the Matuse Tumo 4/3/2 will agree. They appreciate the geoprene with the built-in air chambers because it gives them the warmer, lighter and more buoyant than average neoprene that they are looking for in a wetsuit. They also like the thermobelt design, which is a titanium-coated and smooth skin chest and back panels that provide wind protection and optimum insulation.
The Matuse Tumo also has the geoprene strategic planning that balances the body’s thermostatic line. The wearer won’t get hot or tired from swimming because the suit has oil-based neoprene. Instead, he continues to feel comfortable and mobile while wearing the suit.
The Matuse Tumo also has the HydraSilk nylon that won’t snug. It doesn’t suck in between the corners of body parts. It’s because the hydrophobic material rejects the moisture and therefore serves as the windbreaker in the water. The swimming enthusiast can still move his arms and legs the way he wants to.
Finally, the human engineered seams allow the swimmer to paddle in harmony. He can do so and still have a static neck that minimizes the torque which results to flushing and chaffing. At least with the saddle seat, it is easier for them to just head the direction where they want to go. The panel is also designed to withstand straddling.

The 100% glued and blind stitched seams with satin seal taping is the powerful trio of the Matuse Hoplite 5/4/3 that provides the suit with the durability, flexibility and the cushy softness that is close to the skin of the wearer. The 360 degree neckline results to no more roughness around the collar. The wearer can say goodbye to the irritating neck chafing.
