Matuse: To make product ichiban (the best), by creating function-first, solution-specific innovations; to educate by telling a story, enhancing cultural and environmental awareness.

Matuse are relative newcomers to the wetsuit market, but have set themselves apart with the use of Yamamoto rubber as an alternative to petroleum based neoprene. Yamamoto Geoprene is derived from limestone that's 99.7% pure. And the purity of its limestone source - an ancient misty Mesozoic mountain - is also why Geoprene is so top notch.

Matuse use Yamomoto Rubber in the construction of their wetsuits. Here are their reasons why:

Matuse’s strategic panels and Yamamoto Geoprene combine to enable flexibility that’s even superior to that of the human body.

More endurance: Energy is conserved since the body’s thermostatic line remains at a balanced level. This means longer and more fulfilling sessions.

Yamamoto’s technology means thinner rubber is warmer rubber. It not only weighs less, it also allows athletes to focus on the right issues (like better surfing), and fuss less over the wrong ones (like being cold, uncomfortable—and performing like a wet noodle).

It gives you more reasons why and less reasons why not.
