All Snugg suits are made with Yamamoto Neoprene.

Yamamoto Limestone Neoprene is the diamond of wetsuit innovation and performance. Made from limestone extracted from Mt. Kurohime at Niigata prefecture in Japan, it is a non-petroleum based material that is the industry standard for premium neoprene.

Snugg are one of only a handful of brand's to include Yamamoto Limestone Neoprene in all their wetsuits, no matter the price level. This premium material is typically only used in high-end products.
