4D ARTICULATED CUT Ergonomic cut which perfectly compliments the body’s motion during paddling. While keeping the surface immersion suit close-fitting, Palm’s 6 panel box cut allows 4-way curvature along both the horizontal and vertical axis using the minimum of seams and thereby reducing garment weight.
ASYMMETRIC CUT HEM Prevents rear hem dragging and abrading when walking.
