Early forms of #geoprene were on every Apollo Space Mission and we helped pioneer the next generation of this unique material in 2005 - making its present day form functionally superior - aka Ichiban. Because of its limestone-based composition, which results in a perfectly uniform microcell structure, #geoprene is 98% water impermeable compared to the standard 65% from petroleum derived neoprene. Hence, a Matuse suit is warmer, lighter, dries faster and lasts longer. It is also Kinder to Mother Nature not only because it is made from a more sustainable natural resource (i.e., it's 99.7% pure calcium carbonate source has roughly 3,000 years worth of readily available deposits) but also because it results in a finished product that maintains its intended utility (and economic value) for many moons aka years aka like driving one car for over 200,000 miles PC @nasa #ckth #unapologeticallyichiban #lovematuse
