30% MORE STRETCH

Max_Flex is the state-of-the-art outside lining. The material is created in a weaving process. Its three-dimensional mesh is characterized by a rhombus structure. The innovative technology offers 30% more stretch with the same power applied.

SEEK AMP: THE NEW STATUS QUO

Max_Flex offers superior stretch in the body part you need it most. Max_Flex in the Seek Amp is extended from the arm & shoulders to the chest area. More stretch translates to an enhanced expe-rience on and off the water.

FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT

The stretchiest wetsuits allow for the most radical movements. Whether it be board-offs or grabbing the rail, feel the freedom in your moves out there.

POWER SAVING

Less force required equals more energy on the water. Extend your session by saving power on all your moves.

MAXIMUM COMFORT

Wearing comfort before, during and after a session is notably improved. More stretch results in a seamless wearing experience.

QUICK-DRYING

The lining does not soak water. Small channels on the 3D mesh increase evaporation, hence reducing drying time.
