Going Green
We choose to use LIMESTONE instead of a petroleum based product in the core neoprene rubber of our wetsuits. Petroleum is made from oil, which is messy and much harder to clean after a spill than limestone. Oil spills regularly destroy entire ecosystems. Limestone-based rubber is 95% water impermeable, compared to 70% of the petroleum-based standard, so it also creates a better product.
The limestone in XTERRA WETSUITS actually came from rock originally situated (about 80 million years ago) in the present-day Hawaiian Islands - where the Kona Ironman World Championship is raced every October!
That’s why XTERRA WETSUITS are both fast and green.
