100% handcrafted in Japan, individually made with high-quality local materials.
This is a warm suit, ideal for cold waters. Its Hybrid U-Zip closure and Supreme Thermal X Fast Dry inner thermal fabric, combined with 5mm thickness and Smooth Skin, protect against wind and moisture. Taped seams and the absence of lower body seams prevent potential water leakage. Additionally, it has panels joined with GBS+ technology using high-quality Japanese glue.
The 3mm thickness in the arms and shoulders and the Smooth Skin finish (without exterior fabric) makes the upper portion highly elastic. Furthermore, the absence of seams on the lower body provides greater flexibility for surfing with total comfort.
It features an innovative fit that eliminates tension in the upper body area. The fit feels more relaxed and less compressive compared to other wetsuits. However, while surfing, it is one of the most comfortable suits you can find.
Neoprene can be damaged by excess salt or other chemicals such as chlorine if used in swimming pools. We recommend washing your wetsuit with plenty of water after each use. A small amount of neutral pH soap can be used and then rinsed out afterwards.
Once clean, make sure prevent it from holding onto too much moisture. Air dry it outside or in a ventilated indoor space, somewhere without direct exposure to sunlight as this can damage the materials.
Storing your wetsuit properly keeps the materials and seams from creasing and being stretched for long periods of time. It also prevents the material from wrinkling, which can affect both the wetsuit's durability and appearance.
The best way to store a wetsuit is to hang it draped over a hanger from its waist, so that the most delicate areas such as the shoulders and arms do not have any kind of tension on them.
For wetsuits with very flexible shoulders (Apex Flex or Apex Flow), it is important not to place them on a hanger from the shoulder area, as this will degrade the elasticity over time. For the rest of the models, a wide hanger can be used, as long as the wetsuit is not strained in the shoulder or neck area.
1) If your suit has Velcro, avoid contact between the Velcro and the inner lining of the wetsuit, as it will damage the fibers in the material. Keep the Velcro covered with the provided fabric patch or make sure that the Velcro is closed, so that the rough part of the Velcro does not damage the inside of your suit.
2) For all suits, especially those made with neoprene, be careful not to damage the neoprene material with your nails when putting on or taking off the suit, as this type of damage is not covered by our warranty policy.
3) Triathlon and open water suits have been designed specifically for swimming. We cannot guarantee correct functioning of the wetsuits for other activities. Any damage to the wetsuit resulting from use in activities other than swimming is not covered by our warranty policy.
4) Avoid leaning on or coming into contact with any surfaces (especially rough ones) while wearing your wetsuit.
General Information
Wetsuit 100% handcrafted in Japan with Japanese materials that guarantee the suit’s high quality and durability.
A perfect-fitting wetsuit is key to being able to surf comfortably and move freely. The KABUKI 5:3 U-ZIP has the right technologies for unrestricted swimming and to prevent water entry and the formation of pockets inside the suit.
The Wide Comfort Fit offers a more relaxed fit in the shoulder and underarm areas of the wetsuit. This provides the surfer with a wider range of movement and greater comfort, while enabling the surfer to paddle with greater ease and less resistance.
With the Tango surf wetsuit 5:4, you will be able to surf the waves for longer without worrying about the cold. The use of specific technologies creates an optimal wetsuit seal, preventing the entry of water and increasing thermal confort, allowing you to surf much more comfortably.
The GBS+ (Glued Blind Stitch) seams prevent water from entering the wetsuit which makes the panels completely watertight. The use of a special Japanese top-quality adhesive guarantees an even better seal, keeping you warm and improving the wetsuit’s elasticity.
Supreme Seal technology guarantees the wetsuit has the best seal, preventing water entry and retaining body heat for longer. The panels are stitched together and are reinforced with glue and inner taping that seal the seams completely. In addition, the Smoothskin finish protects you from the wind and humidity, while the Hybrid U Zip closure system prevents water entering via the zip.
Smooth Skin technology, designed with exclusive super-elastic Japanese neoprene that’s limestone-based, combines with a thermal inner lining made with recycled materials to give you a very elastic suit with superior protection against the cold, wind and humidity.
The combination of these three technologies results in an extra warm and quick-drying lining that helps the surfer to stay warm more efficiently than other conventional inner fabrics. On top of this, it’s made with recycled materials and has a smooth and pleasant feel, providing a high degree of comfort.
This innovative U-shaped closure system provides the wetsuit with a superior seal, preventing cold water from entering via the zip. This improves the surfer’s thermal comfort and makes getting in and out of the suit more comfortable.
Laser cutting in the neck area combined with the Smoothskin finish allows the wetsuit to seal to the body and prevents chafing. This combination and seal prevent water from flowing inside the suit, increasing the surfer's thermal comfort.
The TANGO Kabuki 5:3 U-Zip is designed to be worn for a long time without concern for wear and tear. The use of materials that are highly resistant to abrasion guarantees the durability of the wetsuit, despite the many hours you may spend on your surfboard.
Shield+ technology reinforces the knee area of the wetsuit with inner patches. This prevents wear from the surfboard or sand, which increases the suit’s durability and resistance. Shield+ combines a fabric resistant to abrasion and tears with highly elastic neoprene in order to allow you a greater range of movement on your board.
The pattern and use of high-elasticity materials improve freedom of movement
The seamless construction in the lower half of the suit and the exclusive use of glue and tape provide superior elasticity and comfort while preventing water from filtering into the suit, hence increasing the surfer’s thermal comfort.
The 3mm Smooth Skin finish combined with the elastic Duraskin lining in the shoulders and arms gives the wetsuit maximum flexibility and durability as well as greater thermal comfort from the smooth skin, allowing you a greater range of movement on your board and less resistance when paddling.
