Cape Town, South Africa Derevko Wetsuits International today announced the release of their latest wetsuit offering, The Shadow and Shadow HD.
“We’ve spent over a year in development on the Shadow range,” commented Derevko MD and Founder Donovan Marais. “We focused a lot of our energy on getting a perfect fit throughout our size curves, as well as how to minimize water entry by limiting the amount of seams on each design. We researched many different levels of neoprene and found the perfect combination of stretch and durability. For heat retention, we used an inner laminate of brushed hollow fiber fleece which is incredibly lightweight and a fantastic insulator.” Commented Donovan. It's Finally safe to Pee in your suit This year Derevko have introduced an anti-bacterial treatment within the inner fabric of each wetsuit which effectively inhibits the growth of 99% of odor-causing bacteria and fungi commonly found in all wetsuits. The result is a wetsuit that stays fresher for longer with increased longetivity.
The Shadow and Shadow HD are available in two colour ways; Deep Black and Copper, in a front zip and back zip entry system and in both 4.3 and 3.2 mm thicknesses. The range will expand in early 2014 to include a 5.4.3mm hooded steamer, as well as a range of shorties and thermal tops. Along with the new collection, Derevko has also just launched their new website, which can be viewed here.
