WHAT IS NEOPRENE?

Since its early development, neoprene has been used in many industries such as wetsuits, tires and hoses.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF NEOPRENE?

It’s durable

One of the best things about neoprene is its durability. You can be sure it won’t rip. From carrying nappies, to laptop and files  neoprene has got you covered! 

Water and Weather Resistant

Neoprene is resistant to water and a wide range of temperatures. Essentially, it’ll stand up to all weather conditions. 

Soft and Lightweight

Neoprene is padded and soft. It can come in different densities but is generally thicker than other materials. So, it’s ideal for providing protection and cushioning. Also, it’s lightweight. And what’s not to love about that?
