Eco Friendly Performance

At Naluka we believe in producing less but producing well so that you get the most out of your suit. We have chosen Japanese Yamamoto limestone neoprene for our wetsuits as it is not only superior from a performance point of view but also causes less harm to the environment in its inception process.

 

WHY YAMAMOTO?

Yamamoto is one of the most reputable rubber producers in the water sports industry. Located in Japan, they have been in the business since 1964 and are continuously making an effort to improve their practices and materials to be a more sustainable.

In the 1970s they completely switched from petroleum based raw materials to limestone based rubber and in 2021 they were certified as an SDG company (Sustainable Development Goals) by the Japanese Government.

 

LIMESTONE NEOPRENE

What is limestone neoprene? Limestone neoprene is neoprene that uses limestone in it’s inception process rather than petroleum based chemicals, which are extremely harmful to the environment. This makes it one of the most environmentally friendly material options on the market today when it comes to rubber.

 

PERFORMANCE

Yamamoto limestone neoprene is not only one of the most environmentally friendly neoprenes on the market, it is also one of the highest performing ones.

Exceptionally strechy and warm, Yamamoto neoprene is one of the most superior options out there.
