Beuchat Espadon Elite Smooth Skin Jacket 7mm

Description

Beuchat’s exclusive X-Ray camouflage is based on the Beuchat Trigocamo photographic camouflage, specially redesigned for an ultra-smooth spearfishing wetsuit.

Natural monochrome colours melt into the underwater background.

X-Ray camouflage is used on different parts of the Espadon Elite in order to break up the silhouette of the suit and make the diver even harder to detect. Camouflage is positioned primarily on forward-facing surfaces.

Smooth outer coating improves movement through the water for slicker, more efficient diving. The smooth skin also drys instantly out of the water and reduces windchill whilst on boat dives.

Reinforced stress pad on the top specifically designed not to cause turbulence.

Please Note:

Due to the nature of the open cell interior and smooth skin outer, it is important to wet the inside of the suit with a soapy solution to ensure ease of entry to the wetsuit. Equally, it is important to lube the outside of the suit when taking it off. Trying to get into or out of any smooth skin spearfishing suit without the use of a soapy solution will likely damage the wetsuit. If you have any questions regarding this, please call us anytime.
