More than 20 years after the introduction of limestone-based neoprene to replace petroleum-based neoprene, SCUBAPRO launches a new line of premium Everflex dive suits made from an innovative new material. Originally introduced in 2006, SCUBAPRO’s 2022 Everflex dive suits, now in their 8th generation, are made from a revolutionary, eco-friendly foam called Yulex. This is a plant-based material made from pure natural rubber extracted from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified renewable rubber tree farms. The FSC is an international organisation that was established as a response to global deforestation. FSC certification ensures that the natural rubber for Everflex Yulex dive suits comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits. With its superb resistance to water compression, Yulex Dive is specifically formulated to be used while diving. SCUBAPRO is the first brand to offer this particular Yulex material in its dive suits. The Everflex dive suits made with Yulex Dive foam are designed and built to maximise the diving experience while delivering on SCUBAPRO’s long-standing commitment to help protect our planet.
A real milestone for 2022 – SCUBAPRO’s premium Everflex steamers, while offering the same award-winning comfort features and thermal protection that have made them the wetsuits of choice among divers the world over, are now built with a revolutionary new plant-based foam called Yulex Dive, made from pure natural rubber. Everflex Yulex Dive steamers are of course designed with SCUBAPRO’s exclusive Pure Design Concept, with just enough multi-thickness panels to guarantee maximum stretch and comfort. They fit comfortably snug and deliver unparalleled freedom of movement. They also provide superb resistance to water compression to keep divers warmer, deeper, for longer. The rubber is layered inside and out with a polyester lining made from recycled plastic bottles, and an updated Diamond Span inner fleece lining in the torso area enhances warmth while making donning and doffing so much easier. Everflex Yulex Dive steamers are offered in three thicknesses to cover virtually every diving scenario and are loaded with features that maximise comfort, warmth and ease of use.
