People keep saying neoprene. The Blue Seventy Nero Comp is a lycra suit coated with Yamamoto SCS, a slippery rubber-like substance. But it isn't neoprene. That coating appears to be widely used in competition wetsuits. Google and you shall see.
I don't think the LZR uses neoprene either.
Ok, I was wrong. The information I was looking at was referring to the PointZero suit. So, I screwed the pouch on this arguement.
Here is one question for the blueseventy fans...are all their waterskins legal for pool use or just the Nero Comp?
