Apeks Thermiq Hooded Vest Man
128.28 € tax excl.
The Apeks Thermiq Hooded Vest gives you extend bottom times by staying warmer for longer with even heat distribution that increases body temperature by an average of 2°C. Temperature is equalized between warmer parts of the body to the core and integrated hood for a more comfortable, warmer dive.
The hooded vest is made from a mix of 5mm and 3mm super-stretchy limestone neoprene allowing greater flexibility in the water and ease of fitting.
WHAT IS GRAPHENE?
Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice and conducts heat better than any material on earth. Graphene equalizes the body temperature – transferring heat from warmer parts of the body to colder parts – without the need for a power source. It increases the body temperature by an average of 2°C and has earned itself the title of ‘wonder material.
Apeks Thermiq Hooded Vest 5/3mm Features
- ECO NEOPRENE: Neoprene made from limestone is kinder to the environment than traditional petroleum-based neoprene.
- LIQUID SEAMS: Double stitched and sealed seams prevent water entry and increase the wetsuit’s life.
- SUPER STRETCH: 4-way stretch neoprene so you can move with minimal restrictions.
- INTERNAL SEALS:
- WATER-BASED GLUE: (AQUA A) Water-based lamination and bonding adhesives use less harmful chemicals and solvents.
- GRAPHENE TECHNOLOGY: Superconductor lining transfers heat from warm spots to cold spots.
- RECYCLED LAMINATION FABRIC: Lamination fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles.
Environmental Conscious
- Apeks are committed to using environmentally friendly materials and processes whenever possible to help reduce our carbon footprint.
- Water-based Glue: We turned solvent-based laminating glue into water-based glue, eliminating harmful volatile organic compounds.
- Dope-Dyed Yarn: Dope-dying infuses dye pigments into the molten plastic solution to produce coloured yarns without dying process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
- Eco Carbon black: Carbon black, one of the key ingredients of neoprene can now be made from scrap rubber tyers. This significantly reduces energy consumption and reduces CO2 emission by 200g per wetsuit.
- Limestone neoprene: The main neoprene compound uses calcium carbonate from limestone to form chloroprene rubber chips, remaining chloroprene instead of using dirty petroleum-based ingredients.
