Colby + Yamamoto Greenwave 3/2mm Chest Zip Fullsuit

The Colby + Yamamoto Greenwave 3/2mm Chest Zip Fullsuit is designed for cold conditions, typically used in water temps in the high 50s to mid 60s. Colby + Yamamoto Greenwave suits utilize Yamamoto #40 on the entire suit. The flexibility is unmatched. When you couple this with the 100% recycled super-stretch jersey interior lining, you have a suit that feels like nothing we've ever tried. For those of you who like to geek-out on the details...please read more about the stretch and resilience below... Construction Details Triple-glued and blindstitched (GBS) seams. Rubberized liquid seal treatment: We've applied this to the exterior seams on the entirety of the suit and done away with internal taping. Benefit: This dramatically reduces leakage and ensures seams are unnoticeable with max flexibility (something internal tape typically impedes). YKK SoFlex zippers: These Japanese-made zippers stretch with your suit and have fine teeth. Combined with supple jersey and neoprene, you barely notice the zipper—unlike big, burly zippers paired with supple rubber. Adjustable cinch cords: Located on the chest panel to ensure a snug fit and minimize water entry. In Search of Perfection: Yamamoto #40 & Greenwave™ At Colby+, we invest in the world’s most advanced materials—sourced directly from Yamamoto Corporation in Osaka, Japan. What happens when you combine the world's most flexible limestone neoprene with the world's first plant-based jersey? The answer is Elastic Harmony. 1. The Core: Yamamoto #40 Limestone Neoprene 99.7% Water Impermeability: Ultra-high closed-cell nitrogen structure absorbs almost no water, keeping the suit light and warm. The Ferrari of Neoprene: Widely recognized as the gold standard for high-performance flexibility. Superior Thermal Insulation: High cell density (over 93%) provides better heat retention than standard petroleum-derived foam. 2. The Breakthrough: Greenwave™ Plant-Based Jersey 500% Multi-Directional Stretch: Greenwave #2080 offers 500% elongation in both width and length, ensuring the jersey never "handbrakes" the neoprene. Double the Strength: Plant-based nylon has nearly double the tensile strength (6.0 cN/dtex) of normal nylon. Ultralight Density: Significantly lighter (~1.0 g/cc) than standard nylon. The Melange Proof: The unique texture is natural proof of the high-performance, eco-friendly plant-based blend. The "Elasticity Match" Comparison This chart quantifies why a Colby+ suit feels more flexible than competitors who pair high-end neoprene with restrictive jerseys. Performance Metric Colby+ (Yamamoto #40 + Greenwave) Leading Competitor The Advantage Neoprene Elongation 520% – 580% 350% – 450% ~30% more raw stretch Jersey Elongation 500% (Greenwave) 200% - 320% No "Leash Effect" Material Synergy 95% Match ~60% Match Uniform Flex Tensile Strength 6.0 cN/dtex ~3.5 cN/dtex Won't "blow out" "Most high-end suits use a 'super-stretch' rubber but limit it with a 250% stretch jersey. That's like putting a speed limiter on a supercar. At Colby+, we match our Yamamoto #40 with the 500% Greenwave Jersey for a 'Zero-Resistance' experience."
