High-Performance Fabrics Designed for Water Sports (SEAMATE® Series)

Namliong SEAMATE® high-performance water sports fabrics are engineered for diving, surfing, and SUP. These materials go beyond protection—they enhance performance with 4-way stretch, UPF 50+ UV defense, quick-dry comfort, and superior thermal insulation. Designed for saltwater and chlorine resistance, SEAMATE® helps brands create durable, comfortable, and competitive water sports gear.

4-Way Stretch Water Sports Fabric

Ideal for surfing, kiteboarding, stand-up paddling (SUP), and freediving wetsuits. The fabric closely fits the body with unrestricted movement, providing comfort and supporting the development of more ergonomic, high-performance sportswear.

Smooth Skin Wetsuit Material (Glide-Skin Neoprene)

Special surface treatment reduces water drag, enhancing glide and speed in competitive or swimming suits, while reducing energy consumption during paddling, swimming, or racing.

Thermal Lock Design (Insulating Wetsuit Fabric)

Provides heat retention and insulation. Even in cold waters or deep-sea environments, it maintains body temperature, reduces energy loss, and prolongs endurance in water sports.

Ultra-Thin UV-Protective & Thermal Swimwear Fabric (UPF 50+)

With a thickness of only 0.3–0.8 mm, the fabric is lightweight and flexible, offering UPF 50+ sun protection, defense against jellyfish stings, and natural buoyancy for comfort and safety.

Highly Water-Repellent Quick-Dry Fabric

Advanced water-shedding technology accelerates drying, preventing long-term dampness and discomfort. Enhances comfort and durability, ideal for repeated immersion or multiple dives.
