NEOPRENE TYPES Skin (Mesh) Neoprene V_Type Neoprene If you find mostly bare black Neoprene on the outside it is called a skin Neoprene suit (also called mesh or single lined) suit. Because the Neoprene foam itself is very soft and vulnerable normally the Neoprene is enhanced by a surface embossing (usually a fine mesh structure) to improve robustness and tearing strength. It makes the surface more dense, but obviously also reduces the stretch properties. Although the advantage compared to double lined Neoprene is less evaporative heat loss on a wet suit by the Wind-Chill factor. S_Type Neoprene...
