Description: The only difference between the FIRST WAVE™ and the BLACK PEARL™ is the quality of the rubber. The FIRST WAVE is made of Yamamoto #39 and the BLACK PEARL is made of #38 rubber. Both are coated on the outside with Yamamoto SCS ™ Super Composite Skin. The #39 rubber is more closed cell and is slightly lighter in weight. This means it floats you a bit better. Also, the #39 rubber is slightly more flexible, though this by no means implies that the #38 is not flexible. The #38 is still more flexible than the rubber used by many of our competitors. Combine that with the way our wetsuits are designed to fit, and add to that our new innovative zipper, and you have probably the best and second best wetsuit on the market.
Flexible 2mm body and arms with a new lower neckline.
New BIO-STROKE design puts your arms into a forward rotated shoulder position for a more efficient swim stroke.
YKK Custom Zipper is the smallest and lightest and makes removal easier than ever.
4-way stretch Nylon Lycra lining minimizes rubbing and chafing.
The Black Pearl has the same design, construction, and fit as the T1 First Wave, but is made of Yamamoto #38 Rubber with Super Composite Skin. This model offers a very affordable option without sacrificing warmth, comfort, or durability.
Chlorine Resistant.
Sold as a separate, so mix and match sizes, or it can be used alone. T1™ Zipper Information
While most people have no trouble removing the T1™ Pullover, not everyone has succeeded in doing so with the confidence that they would like to have before making a wetsuit purchase. So instead they have opted for a slower swimming wetsuit in exchange for the peace of mind of knowing that they can get out of it. We have now eliminated this issue by offering the T1™ with a zipper. The zipper is strategically placed on the lower back of the pullover where it offers some distinct advantages over anywhere else:
The zipper zips up the back to just between the shoulder blades. This allows us to keep the comfortable low neck design that has been such a big selling feature of our wetsuit, and that allows you to look up and site your direction in open water swims. Also, because the zipper goes up the back instead of down, there is no fear of someone tugging on your zipper cord and unzipping your wetsuit during a race (remember, nothing in the rule books prohibits this).
The zipper does not inhibit the shoulder and torso flexibilty. Since the top (the pullover) is not attached to the bottoms (the Bibjohn) the zipper placement does not limit in any way the shoulder freedom and torso flexibility that has been one of the main reasons that the T1™ swims faster than other wetsuits. You still have the same natural stroke efficiency.
We are able to use a smaller (and lighter) zipper, so the T1™ with a zipper is still very lightweight and very buoyant. In fact the T1™ with a zipper weighs only 4 ounces more than the T1™ Pullover without a zipper.
No water leakage. Between the zipper and your skin is a 2mm “tongue” that is attached to the Pullover. That combined with the bibjohn suspender that runs up your back, there is no additional water leakage and your spine stays nice and warm.
So, whether or not you have weak shoulders, limited range of motion, or you are just more concerned with ease of putting on and removing the suit, this is the right pullover for you. NEW FOR 2008: Lighter zipper weighs 30% less with same tensile strength and lower neckline. |
