Heiwa neoprene is highly renowned in the diving industry, particularly for the production of custom wetsuits for freediving and spearfishing. It is appreciated for its high density, which makes it highly resistant to compression at depth, while maintaining excellent thermal insulation and good softness.

Why choose this material
Lined Neoprene
What it is
Lined neoprene can be used both externally and internally in wetsuits. It is a fabric with exceptional elasticity, durability, longevity, and comfort, and it is less delicate than smooth neoprene.
Features
The lining adds 4 key characteristics:
- Elasticity
- Durability
- Comfort
- Less fragility compared to raw rubber
Available Versions
The lining can be standard or super-elastic. Internally, it can feature:
Open Cell
Raw rubber that ensures excellent adherence to the body and outstanding thermal insulation. It fits like a second skin but requires lubricants to wear and is more delicate and fragile. Available in various thicknesses:
- 1,5 mm
- 3 mm
- 5 mm
- 6 mm
- 7 mm
- 8 mm
Double-Lined
Fabric on both sides, with excellent elasticity. It does not require lubrication and is more durable than open-cell neoprene.
Available in various thicknesses and colors: grey/black, striped pink-purple/light blue, striped yellow-red/green, striped blue-light blue/fuchsia.
Thermal Plush
The internal thermal plush is very durable and retains heat much better than standard lining. It does not require lubrication and is less delicate than open-cell neoprene.
Available in various thicknesses and colors.
Coating
A metallic coating (gold or titanium) applied to the inner side of the neoprene. Very smooth, it allows easier wearing without lubricants and provides excellent thermal insulation. Available in various thicknesses and colors.
Smoothskin
What it is
Smooth is an outer rubber coating similar to skin, offering excellent hydrodynamics, elasticity, and fast drying, but it is more delicate than lined neoprene.
Available Versions
Smoothskin
