Behind the
Technology of Lavacore
Lavacore is a technically advanced fabric,
constructed and engineered exclusively for water sports requiring the ultimate
in thermal control and superior comfort. This unique synthetic construction
closely matches the stretch and movement of a traditional lycra rash vest,
whilst providing the insulation qualities similar to that of a Neoprene
wetsuit. Close to the skin, Lavacore's soft internal fleece and high 4-way
stretch produces the ultimate comfort>warmth>weight ratio, a true
leader amongst any fabrics within the water sports industry. Wet or dry, hot or
cold, Lavacore helps control your core temperature longer, whether worn as a
stand alone garment, or under your wetsuit or clothing.

"At Outer Edge, we have
regularly been using Lavacore
tops and shorts when out on our paddling and dive adventure assignments,
including a weekly paddle session in the wilds of a Melbourne winter
where it's
usually freezing cold, the wind is belting and if you go in, you know
it's going
to take your breath away. Lavacore has proven the perfect product for us
where
our activity is intense requiring plenty of body movement, in cold, wet
environments. On test, Lavacore stands up to a fearsome windchill factor
on top
of the waves and, when we do happen to go in, maintains well our body
temperature in the cold southern waters. To date, Lavacore has performed
beyond
expectations in the warmth and comfort stakes and I'd consider it
essential kit
in any cold water situation, be it used stand alone or, when the going
gets
super chill on a freezing southern ocean dive assignment, in conjunction
with a
wetsuit,"
