As a brand manager for a waterski or wakeboard company, you know your customers demand equipment that can keep up with their high-speed, high-impact sport.
Their wetsuit needs to be incredibly flexible for deep water starts and aggressive turns. Their impact vest needs to provide life-saving protection without restricting their movement for a handle pass or a big air trick.
The market is filled with generic gear that fails to meet these specific demands. Wetsuits that are too stiff, and impact vests that are bulky, ill-fitting, and not designed for the unique needs of a tow-sports athlete.
What if you could offer a line of custom-engineered gear that is specifically designed for the modern waterskier and wakeboarder? Gear that combines a sleek, ergonomic fit with superior performance and protection?
This is the power of a custom-engineered neoprene waterski suit and impact vest.
As a specialist manufacturer of these technical garments, let's break down the anatomy of superior on-water equipment, so you can create a product that your athletes will trust.
A waterski wetsuit is all about maximizing flexibility and providing a thin layer of warmth and protection.
1. The Neoprene Core: Flexibility is Everything
The body of our waterski suits is made from a highly flexible neoprene foam, typically 2mm to 3mm.
Maximum Stretch: We use 100% CR (Chloroprene Rubber), often from premium sources like Yamamoto, for its unparalleled flexibility and "rebound." This allows the skier to move freely without fighting the suit.
Lightweight Comfort: The thin, high-quality neoprene is lightweight and feels like a second skin.
2. The Construction: Engineered for Movement
A superior waterski suit features:
Ergonomic Paneling: We use an anatomical, multi-panel design with fewer seams in critical flex zones (like under the arms and behind the knees) to maximize mobility.
Comfortable Seams: For this application, a strong and comfortable Flatlock Stitch is often ideal, as it lies flat against the skin and prevents chafing. For slightly cooler water, waterproof GBS seams can be used.
An impact vest is a critical piece of safety equipment, but it must not hinder performance.
1. The Neoprene Shell: A Second Skin
The outer shell is made from a durable and flexible 2-3mm neoprene.
Ergonomic Fit: The multi-panel design conforms to the rider's body, preventing the vest from riding up during a crash or when in the water.
Flexibility: The high-stretch neoprene allows for a full range of motion for grabs, spins, and handle passes.
2. The Buoyancy & Impact Foam: The Protective Heart
The interior is filled with strategically placed panels of soft, closed-cell buoyancy foam.
Impact Absorption: The foam is designed to absorb and dissipate the force from hard impacts with the water or features, protecting the rider's ribs and torso.
Strategic Placement: The foam panels are segmented and hinged to allow the vest to bend and move with the rider. We ensure there is no foam around the lower waist to allow a wakeboard harness to fit comfortably.
3. The Details That Define a Quality Vest
A superior impact vest features:
Heavy-Duty Zippers: We use large, durable, and corrosion-resistant zippers for a secure front or side entry.
Reinforced Stitching: All seams and stress points are reinforced with bar-tack stitching for maximum durability.
