Beuchat Espadon Elite Smooth Skin Jacket 7mm

Description

Beuchat’s exclusive X-Ray camouflage is based on the Beuchat Trigocamo photographic camouflage, specially redesigned for an ultra-smooth spearfishing wetsuit. Natural monochrome colours melt into the underwater background.

X-Ray camouflage is used on different parts of the Espadon Elite in order to break up the silhouette of the suit, making the diver even harder to detect. Camouflage is positioned primarily on forward-facing surfaces.

Smooth outer coating improves movement through the water for slicker, more efficient diving. The smooth skin also drys instantly out of the water and reduces windchill whilst on boat dives.

Reinforced stress pad on the top specifically designed not to cause turbulence.

Suit Type

• Two-piece suit for intensive free diving and spearfishing
• Top with hood
• Super-supple Elaskin X10 neoprene for improved comfort and greater freedom of movement
• Open cell neoprene interior for outstanding thermal protection

Cut

• High quality pre-formed anatomical cut for maximum comfort
• Special anatomical cut at the back to prevent the formation of water pockets on the back or between the shoulders
• Seamless stretch panels at articulations to reduce friction (shoulders and elbows)
• Pre-formed to follow the curvature of the lower back and crotch for a snugger fitting suit
• Pre-formed, crotch-piece ergonomically designed to avoid discomfort between the legs, with double clip closure

Resistance

• Jersey crotch-panel on the top and between the legs of the pants designed to prevent wear resulting from friction between the thighs while swimming

Hood with Anti-Squeeze System

• The Anti-Squeeze System mitigates the suction effect in the ears and simplifies pressure equalisation during dives

Optimum smoothness

• Smooth outer coating improves movement through the water for slicker, more efficient diving
• Reinforced stress pad on the top specifically designed not to cause turbulence

Thermal protection

• The Espadon Elite offers a high degree of thermal protection
• Combines the qualities of an open cell interior with a smooth outer skin
• Open cell interior procures maximum warmth
• Smooth outer skin offers excellent protection from the wind and dries fast, especially useful on boats and at the end of the dive session

Edging & finishes:

Please Note:

Due to the nature of the open cell interior and smooth skin outer, it is important to wet the inside of the suit with a soapy solution to ensure ease of entry to the wetsuit.

Equally, it is important to lube the outside of the suit when taking it off. Trying to get into or out of any smooth skin spearfishing suit without the use of a soapy solution will likely damage the wetsuit. If you have any questions regarding this, please call us anytime.
