AMENITIES: BUTTERFLY COLLAR ENTRY + SATIN SEAL TAPING

SIZES: M, ML, LS, L , XLS, XL

Geo�lex is a material that has a different elastic range than that of our Geoprene. We used this material to create the new entry the Dante has with the Butter�ly-collarand the yoke pull-over. The idea was to develop a front-entry that was easy to get in-and-out of for almost everyone without taking water into the suit.

The 3/2 Dante Fullsuit aka the Ichiban. The Dante is the most �lexible suit that we have ever made. Hence, it perfectly suits people that don't like front zips and / or back zips and it's speci�ically engineered for customers that don't like putting a wetsuit on -- or taking one off.SATIN SEAL TAPE: A durable yet �lexible SCS tape that provides extra seam durability that is soft and comfortable to your skin.BUTTERFLY COLLAR ENTRY: A new system that allows for easy-in and easy-out while eliminating water entry with its adjustable high neck line.
