What types of wetsuits do you offer?

At Libra Neoprene, we manufacture wetsuits to meet international quality and safety standards:

• OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 — All fabrics are tested to be free from harmful substances (phthalates, lead, formaldehydes).

• SGS — Material testing and verification for quality and safety.

• BSCI — Social compliance audit for ethical manufacturing.

• REACH — All materials are sourced to meet European chemical regulations, free from prohibited azo-dyes and heavy metals.

• CE (PPE) — For wetsuits sold as personal protective equipment in the European market, we ensure compliance with relevant standards and provide technical documentation to support your certification process.

We can provide materials certification copies, material test reports, and batch-specific documentation for your review. Our quality assurance team ensures every production batch meets the required standards.

At Libra Neoprene, we offer different stitching methods to suit different performance needs:

Flatlock Stitching — The thread passes completely through the neoprene, creating a flat, durable external seam. Allows maximum stretch and gives a stylish "racing stripe" look. Best for warm-water use where water entry is less of a concern. Common in recreational and shorty wetsuits.

Blind Stitching (GBS — Glued Blind Stitch) — The needle does not fully penetrate the neoprene; the seam is glued and then stitched halfway. Provides better water sealing and thermal retention. Recommended for cold-water use and extended sessions. Common in spearfishing, triathlon, and premium full wetsuits.

At Libra Neoprene, Our team can advise which stitching method or combination best suits your product based on your target use case, water temperatures, and design preferences. For example, a premium spearfishing wetsuit might combine blind stitching for the main seams with zigzag stitching for edge binding and zipper attachment, ensuring both water-tightness and durability.

At Libra Neoprene, we offer wetsuits in a range of thicknesses to suit different water temperatures and activities:

• 1.5mm — For warm tropical waters (24°C+/75°F+), maximum flexibility.

• 2mm — Versatile for spring/summer surfing and swimming (20-24°C/68-75°F).

• 3mm — For cooler conditions (16-20°C/60-68°F), most popular for general use.

• 5mm — For cold water surfing and diving (12-16°C/54-60°F).

• 7mm — For extended cold water sessions and deep diving (under 12°C/54°F).

We can also combine different thicknesses in one suit — e.g., 5mm torso with 3mm underarms for enhanced mobility where flexibility is needed most. Our team will advise based on your target market and typical water temperatures.

At Libra Neoprene, we offer a range of neoprene materials to match different performance and budget requirements:
