West Nitro GBS
The West Nitro GBS utilizes the West Gen-3 Ultraspan Neoprene in all the critical points of the wetsuit. By combining the 60% of Ultraspan and the GBS together, the Nitro range becomes economical and durable. The triple-glued and blind-stitched seamless shoulders and underarm panels and thermal mesh skin eventually add to the comfort that the wearer gets from the wetsuit.
The West Nitro GBS 4/3 MM Wetsuit also offers swimming enthusiasts great performance, great quality and great insulation. The best thing about this is that it can be purchased at a price that everyone can afford. The construction of the 60% West Nitro with the whole Gen-3 Ultraspan neoprene in the most critical spots result to a durable and water tight experience. The thermal mesh skin keeps the core warm and the seamless underarms and shoulders provide more mobility.

The thermal mesh glide skin, pre bent and contoured arm and leg panels and concealed zip with reinforced base make it easier for the wearer to wear and remove the Nitro GBS. The YKK metal zips and taped stress areas are more durable compared to the others. There are tectonic kneepads that are made of foam for longevity. The forte collar closure, S-Foam super light NEO, batwing in GPS and key holders are other benefits that appeal to the customers.
Swimmers and divers who have invested in the Nitro GBS have positive things to say about the wetsuit. They claim that it is a wetsuit anyone can invest in because it can be used for a long period of time. They can store it for most of the year, but the minute they get it, it still retains its original shape.

West Lotus Air-O
The West Lotus Air-O introduces the “West Air-O” neoprene which combines three layers of 1mm Neoprene that is bonded together with the middle layer in the honeycomb construction. The design creates small pockets of air that are heated up by the body and adds the thermal properties that the wearer requires from the wetsuit. By creating small pockets of air that are then heated up by the body, the thermal properties of the neoprene are maximized. These result to the West Lotus Air-O becoming more flexible and lighter.
The secret to this feature is the West Air O neoprene which is the trademark of all the West wetsuits. West Air-O neoprene combines the layers of 1mm Neoprene and bonds these together with the middle layer. It is like a honey comb construction. The pockets of air that are created in the Neoprene construction quickly heat the body up and also add to thermal properties of the Neoprene. This is the reason why the Lotus Air-O is more flexible and lighter compared to the other wetsuits
Other features of the West Lotus Air-O are pyro-fibre chest, batwing, GBS triple glued and blindstitched sealed seams, seamless lower back, thermal mesh skin, wrist and ankle waterlock fluid strips, pre-bent and contoured arm and leg panels, embossed action panels (behind knees), ykk metal zips, taped stress areas, tatex skin on k-foam knee pads, forte collar closure, s-foam super-light neo, zip pocket on lower leg and 100% fluid seams.
Those who have purchased the West Lotus Air-O all claim that it is one of the most comfortable suits out there. The unique and exclusive neoprene is only found in this particular wetsuit so there is the overhead batwing that prevents water from seeping through. For those who wish to be ninjas for a day, this is the ideal wetsuit for them because it is stealth looking.

West Lotus Eco
The West Lotus Eco is an environmentally sustainable wetsuit. The neoprene is limestone-based and the outer and inner fabrics are knitted with yarns in order to maximize the recycled plastic bottles and nano bamboo charcoal. These are then laminated with the non-solvent based adhesives and printed with water-based inks. This is the very reason why West Lotus Eco is considered the most eco-friendly wetsuit in the market today.
This wetsuit is designed specifically for environmentalists who are looking for a rounder suit that offers durability, comfort and warmth – and at the same time respects the environment. Swimmers and divers know the process of how manufacturers create wetsuit, and as much as possible they want one that is from recycled materials. This is where the West Lotus Eco wetsuit comes in.
The West Lotus Eco has 100% fluid seams for maximum water and minimal water leakage, 100% West Gen-3 ultra span neoprene for maximum comfort and flex, Batwing zip barrier which eliminates water leakage at the zip entry, GBS-triple glued and blind-stitched sealed seams. All these materials make the Lotus Eco a genuinely environmental and sustainable wetsuit.
Since it is limest0ne-based, the other and the inner fabrics are laminated with the non-solvent based adhesives that also provide a more flexible and mobile foundation for the seams.
Those who have purchased the wetsuit have positive things to say about the Lotus. According to them, West managed to combine innovation with style and comfort. The new Lotus also showed the capabilities of West to froth on the look of the suit. The stealth black steamlined design can look sharp with every logo that is placed on the suit.
