In 2006, Matuse was the first company to introduce Japanese Limestone rubber to the surf industry — setting a new standard with a revolutionary material we now call Geoprene. Unlike traditional petroleum-based neoprene, Geoprene is not only more environmentally conscious, but also superior in performance: it’s 98% water impermeable, warmer, lighter, and lasts significantly longer. That’s not just innovation — that’s transformation.
At Matuse, we believe that longevity is sustainability. A longer-lasting wetsuit means fewer replacements, less waste, and a deeper connection between the surfer and their gear. Every seam, panel, and piece of Geoprene we use is guided by that philosophy. It’s not just about making wetsuits — it’s about building purpose-driven products that elevate your experience in the water and endure the test of time.
Our commitment to innovation doesn’t stop at materials. We listen to how our community uses our wetsuits — from cold dawn patrols to tropical reef breaks, from heavy surf to long paddles. These insights inspire constant refinement, ensuring our wetsuits meet the highest standards of performance and comfort for every kind of water enthusiast.
