The BC stands for "Bell Curve." The BC Vest's front and back Bell Curve paneling ensures your vest stays on-even when the surf's going off. A vest that locks down in a heavy wave is not only warmer but also safer.

1. SAFETY THROUGH BELL-CURVES
Heavy waves can pull a vest straight over your head. This is not only unfashionable, but can be dangerous. Matuse's Bell Curve entry forms a snug yet functional fit to ensure your vest stays on-even when the surf's going off.

2. ERGONOMIC & CUSTOM TAILORING
Matuse's mid-body panels hug the torso in the right places to maximize comfort and performance. The short loop and elastic pull-string combine to provide a custom waist fit.

3. ZERO SHOULDER & LAT SEAMS = ZERO CHAFING
Matuse's unique shoulder and side seam design offers superior comfort without sacrificing fit and function. Make chafing a thing of the past.

4. HIGH ARM GUSSETS; LOW WATER INTRUSION
Keeping cold water out and body heat in is the whole point. Other vests must have missed the memo.

5. GEOPRENE STRATEGIC PANELING
Super-low modulus, max-flex Geoprene that keeps the body's thermostatic line balanced (i.e. you don't get hot and tired from fighting your suit or cold and bitter from that oil-based neoprene).
