The Benefits of Limestone Neoprene

Did you know that Jobe wetsuits use Limestone neoprene instead of oil based neoprene? There are multiple kinds of neoprene which are used for producing wetsuits. At Jobe Sports, we use a Limestone based neoprene which has multiple advantages.

It’s lighter 

Limestone neoprene is not only lighter in weight, it tends to soak up less water. This makes for a wetsuit which weighs a lot less then it’s oil-based counterpart.

It’s warmer

Limestone neoprene has better isolation qualities which makes for a warmer wetsuit. This also means that you can wear a thinner limestone neoprene wetsuit then you would with a oil-based wetsuit.

It has more flex

Freedom of movement is everything when wearing a wetsuit. Not only do we work with our minimal seam technology to reduce the amount of seems for more flex. We combine this with the limestone neoprene which is more flexible and offers great freedom of movement for the ultimate watersports experience.

It’s more durable

Because these wetsuits have better flex capabilities these wetsuits tend to last longer. What also makes a limestone wetsuit more durable is that this fabric is more resistant to tearing then oil-based wetsuits.

It’s more eco-friendly

Going back to the 2 main types of neoprene (which are neoprene and oil based neoprene) we do see that one of the 2 types is more eco-friendly. Limestone neoprene is more durable so you don’t have to replace it as fast, which is the first of the main reasons it’s more eco-friendly. The second reason is the resource itself, which is less harmful to the environment, making it a more eco-friendly product.

So there you have it: Limestone neoprene! A kind of neoprene which comes with lots of benefits. Making it a must for everyone that demands the best when their out an about on the water!

Everything you need to know about our Shipping & Delivery Services 

Your business is extremely important to us and if you're not happy then we're not happy. We are therefore fanatical about making sure that everything arrives with you in perfect condition and in good time.  

Here is a summary of how we do things.

1) We aim to process and ship all orders on a daily basis if placed before 3pm Monday to Friday, Sadly we are not able to ship orders at weekends or Bank Holidays (we like to get out on the water sometimes too). If you place your order after 3pm then we will still endeavour to process and ship it on the same day but this may not always be possible until the following working day.

2) For goods stored in one of our satellite warehouses, transhipment may sometimes cause a slight delay. This is rare though and we'll always notify you straight away if this will potentially affect all or part of your order.

3) For goods on re-order from our suppliers but not physically back in stock yet the words "Coming Soon" or similar will be displayed. These goods are available for pre-order only over the phone by calling +44 (0)1597 850114. If you pre-order something we will let you know the arrival date that we have been quoted by our suppliers, but we're afraid that these dates do sometimes change but we'll always try and keep you fully in the loop. By pre-ordering goods you are basically securing them for when they arrive with us. Pre-orders are processed and shipped on a "first come first served" basis i.e. processed in strict chronological order (the first to pre-order will be the first to receive their goods).

4) For very urgent orders please contact us on +44 (0)1597 850114 and we can potentially upgrade your delivery option to suit your requirements.
