Derived from the Greek term, Philos, the word Philo means, "having a strong affinity or preference." The PHILO: jacket represents our love for building the next level of function-first wetsuits. Whatever it is you do, remember to be passionate about it.

1. THE NEXT LEVEL
Philo is the next level of function-first premium wetsuits-it's the Ichiban. Combining Matuse's ergonomic patterning and Yamamoto's cutting edge materials, the Philo sweeps your shoulders forward for maximum paddle reach.

2. HYDRASILK NYLON
Silky smooth, hydrophobic (i.e. rejects H2O) material that's your windbreaker in the water. Makes you feel all buttery inside.

3. 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).

4. ERGONOMIC & CUSTOM TAILORING
Matuse's mid-body panels hug the torso in the right places to maximize comfort and performance. The short loop in the front provides secure attachment to your trunks.

5. MINI BACK-ZIP
The mini back-zip maximizes your ease-of-entry while minimizing water-entry.
