Like all Ride Engine suits, the Elara & Luna lineup are built from limestone-based, Neospa S-Foam neoprene, which is soft, flexible and more environmentally friendly than its petroleum based counterparts. Smart panel design and power seam stitching keeps ultimate flexibility and range of motion, while eliminating water intrusion along the seams. The thicker models feature a Therma Lock fleece lining that provides an extra layer of insulation to help maintain core warmth when you need it most.
