  Reinforced ZhikTex™ II panels on the buttocks and legs provide extra protection against abrasion, increasing durability and wear resistance.

  The Velcro® shoulder straps allow for a perfect fit, ensuring comfort and stability during intense ballast handling.

  The suit features removable fiberglass ballast pads, offering better stability and comfort during extended ballast sessions.

• Silicone Inner Cuffs:
  The silicone cuffs on the legs prevent the suit from shifting, minimizing the risk of it moving during activity and providing stability during movement.

• Water Drainage Openings:
  Drainage holes at the ankles effectively remove excess water, keeping the suit dry and preventing it from becoming too heavy, ensuring comfort over long periods.

• Adjustable Leg Length:
  Adjustable leg length allows for easy customization of the suit to the wearer’s needs, with reinforced stitching to ensure durability without risk of fabric tearing.

• 3D Fit:
  The suit features a 3D fit, ensuring maximum comfort and ergonomics. It molds to the body, reducing the risk of chafing and providing full freedom of movement.
