ECO-FRIENDLY

Neopren Cyril Moussilmani

ECO-FRIENDLY NEOPRENE

With 35 years of experience in water sports, we have realized one thing: only longlasting products are truly sustainable products. They contribute to using less energy, conserving resources and generating less waste. And last but not least, they contribute to gaining satisfied customers. That’s why we put the highest priority on quality in manufacturing and materials. The technologies driving the new GUNSAILS neoprene collection are all in the interest of sustainable and eco-friendly thinking, as they save large amounts of raw materials, energy and water.

Limestone Neoprene

LIMESTONE NEOPRENE

Instead of petroleum-based ingredients as used in the past, a calcium carbonate made from limestone is now being used which is much less harmful to the environment and also, due to the air bubbles it contains, has better flex and insulation values.

Aqua Alpha Technology

AQUA-ALPHA TECHNOLOGY

Water-based adhesives are used in the lamination process. These are solvent-free, more eco-friendly and, of course, less harmful in production. The bonding strength is not affected by this.

Recycled Polyester

RECYCLED POLYESTER

Whenever lining fabric is applied to neoprene, it is made from polyester yarn, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. Another contribution to waste reduction and conservation of resources.

Eco Carbon Black

ECO CARBON BLACK

A main component of the neoprene is Carbon Black, which is later mixed with Limestone Neoprene pieces. This carbon black is now obtained in a chemical process from shredded scrap tires, which also helps to conserve resources.

FEATURES

QUALITY AND MANUFACTURING AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL

Our Force Series is ideal for cold windsurfing days. All seams of the Force neoprene suits in the glued blind-stitched technique are additionally provided with an elastic S-Seal, which makes the suits even more waterproof and durable.

TEST REPORT

SURF MAGAZINE / FORCE FZ SEMIDRY HOOD 6/5 MM

GUNSAILS | Test Report Force Semidry Hood - Surf Magazin January 2019

The model Force is titled as 6/5, the six-millimeter range extends from the torso down to the ankles. As it is at most of other brands, we were able to measure four millimeters of neoprene thickness in the arm area, the concealed hood is slightly thinner with 3.5 millimeters. Getting into the Neoprene is wonderfully easy, thanks to the Gun Neo made of very smooth neoprene, which adapts well to the body contours. The cuddly lining, which covers the entire back area as well as the front to the leg area, contributes to the high wearing comfort and makes sure that you hop in easily. The taped seams and also the access hatch are well sealed and keep cold water outside. The hood, also fed with plush, sits well on the head, but can not be pulled tight by a lacing. So it's possible that some water enters the hood when you fall into the water. This and the fact that a smooth skin area on the torso and head was dispensed, is also the reason that the Force can not quite keep up with the warmest models. The size of the manufacturer fits well, the forearms are, windsurf-friendly, a little further cutted to prevent thick forearms. Useful feature for freestylers: Shock pads on the shins. Surf Conclusion: For comparatively small money GunSails offers a fully equipped winter neo with convincing freedom of movement and high comfort. The thermal insulation is slightly lower at a high level - but in the temperature range of four to 12 degrees, it should remain pleasing warm.

+ Stretch, value for money
- Lacing on the hood is missing
