Henderson unveils Neoprene-free Greenprene wetsuit at DEMA show

Published 6 years agoon November 26, 2019

Henderson unveiled a new wetsuit at DEMA Show 2019 in Orlando. The new wetsuit is the result of a secret project that Henderson began in 2014.

This new wetsuit is made from a 100% Neoprene free, sustainable plant based insulating foam called Greenprene®.

Consumers should be careful not to confuse Greenprene® with other products claiming to be Neoprene free. Henderson is the only company on the planet to offer Greenprene®. Most products claiming to be Neoprene Free do not contain insulating foam and therefore offer no insulating/thermal protection properties.

The Henderson Greenprene® Wetsuit is a true sustainable replacement to the traditional Petroleum based Neoprene wetsuit. A completely plant based insulating foam that is available in thicknesses from 1 to 7mm.

Greenprene® has been tested and is approved by the United States Department of Agriculture as a Biobased and Biopreferred product.

The wetsuit also utilizes Bio-Span™ recycled high stretch laminates and Aqua-Silk™, a durable abrasion resistant exterior fabric. Both fabrics are made from recycled plastic water bottles.

All Henderson Greenprene® wetsuits are packaged using 100% recycled materials, which are printed using soy based inks.
