Matuse Mens Wetsuit Philo 1mm Wetsuit Top

The Matuse Philo is a necessity come sping/summer time. Keeps the wind off when it picks up, warms the core, but maintains the flexibility of a rashguard.

Features:

• Philo is the next level of function-first premium wetsuits-it's the Ichiban. Combining Matuse's ergonomic patterning and Yamamoto's cutting edge materials, the Philo sweeps your shoulders forward for maximum paddle reach.
• Silky smooth, hydrophobic (i.e. rejects H2O) material that's your windbreaker in the water. Makes you feel all buttery inside.
• Super-low modulus, max-flex Geoprene that keeps the body's thermostatic line balanced (i.e. you don't get hot and tired from fighting your suit or cold and bitter from that oil-based neoprene).
• Matuse's mid-body panels hug the torso in the right places to maximize comfort and performance. The short loop in the front provides secure attachment to your trunks.
• The mini back-zip maximizes your ease-of-entry while minimizing water-entry.

It's pretty simple to see the environmental impacts of something derived from petroleum. The surf industry is hooked on petroleum based products and as one can imagine, this all begins with oil exploration and drilling. On top of that, the crude oil discovered must then be transported, adding for an even higher risk of a spill. By purchasing Matuse Wetsuits derived from the limestone based Geoprene, you are helping the surf industry to ease up on its heavy reliance on petroleum.

Matuse Philo 1mm Wetsuit Top Review

Hey, guys, it's Brandon with Envirosurfer giving you the rundown on the Matuse Philo wetsuit top. This is honestly my favorite wetsuit top I've ever worn. I'm not real big on the tops. I think that they can kind of be uncomfortable, to say the least, but this guy is great.

One millimeter, you think it wouldn't be enough to keep you warm, but it's perfect. Even here in California, during the summer, I'd put it on over top of any two mil jacket out on the market.

It's not bulky at all. It's made of the same silky geoprene material that you're used to from their full suits and their spring suits. I just think it's a great all around suit. The seams, there's barely any of them and they don't get in the way at all. The increased flexibility compared to most jackets.

Right down here at the bottom, you have a drawstring strap. You can tie it to the drawstring of your trunks to make sure it doesn't ride up in between waves. Down here in the back, even though it's pretty light with the one mil fabric, it still has that jacket look with the zipper in the back to make it even easier to get on and off.

Again, this is the Matuse Philo one mil wetsuit top. Check it out.
