NEOPRENEbyBEUCHAT.com

Let's not forget, it was George Beuchat who created 1953 the first wetsuit, followed ten years later by the mythical Tarzan combination: and the brand remains faithful to this heritage, since if it also manufactures the rest of the material, it's the garment that remains the heart of the business. The Marseille company has just opened a brand new website, entirely dedicated to neoprene.

18 MONTH OF REFLECTION

And the members of the research department are constantly looking for, adapting, improving, trying. Designer, but also and especially master boss: according to a first specification, it takes on average eighteen months to a combination to move from the project to a real model, ready to be mass produced !

AISANCE AT THE HEART OF CURRENT STUDIES

It is of course ease, comfort, beyond thermal protection, which are now at the heart of the concerns of the manufacturer. Elaskin neoprene, Flex System, Supratex reinforcements, so many names that reflect a constant search, which is not limited to the choice of materials. It's a balance, between the materials and the mode of assembly, incessant round-trips so that each one of your movements gains in flexibility and comfort, as with the development of the wrists "easy wave system", destined to to facilitate the dressing and to improve the resistance of the seams.

BEUCHAT HOPES YOUR COMMENTS

If Beuchat is lucky enough to have a test site in the immediate vicinity of the design office with Espace Beuchat, and a network of partners who test the prototypes, your opinion also interests the brand. On the site, a tab allows you to leave directly your remarks, your suggestions. "We are very keen on this return," says Cyrille Torres, Marketing Director, "which really improves the performance of our clothes."

IMPORTANT PURCHASE

And even if finally the combination, the price of computers or stabs is not necessarily the most expensive purchase, it remains extremely important: it is all the comfort of our dives that is at stake, and as recalled Cyrille Torres, "to the extent that we do not necessarily have the budget to have several clothes, we must really think about his diving before choosing the right model." Especially since a properly maintained garment, used as part of a regular leisure practice, should in principle accompany you a few years!
