Quicksilver – True Wetsuits

true wetsuits

The combined efforts of Quicksilver Japan and Japanese ad agency TBWA\HAKUHODO have led to the creation of the True Wetsuits. True Wetsuits feature a jacket and pants which made from 2mm jersey neoprene and a shirt made of the Quicksilver/3M-designed ‘Dry Flight’ fabric, and are intended to look like business suits, or in the case of a third variant a tuxedo, yet function more or less like a traditional wetsuit. And yes, we know what you’re thinking; you could totally reenact the pre-title sequence of Goldfinger while wearing one of these, but arguably this is even better because in this case the tux is the wetsuit.

Reportedly, the suits are made to order with a two month lead time, and we’ve yet to find any confirmation they’re available anywhere other than Japan.

    Perfect for that Secret mission followed by a Hot night on the town and the Rendezvous with a femme Fatale.

    Only one question comes to my mind: why?

    • Dan says:

      That’s exactly what I was thinking.

    • Mike says:

      Japan. That’s why and that’s enough.

    • Maskirovka says:

      Because business wetsuit, that’s why. Do not question the Japanese, the inventors of the toilet paper dispenser helmet.

    • Joe says:

      Why not?
      these are surfers and like the snowboard, free-skiing and other similar communities image is a big thing.
      There is no purpose for this, its just meant to look cool and different.

    I like it, but James Bond solved this problem decades ago

    “Bond…James…Bond.”

    C’mon! You know you were thinking it!

    Actually, I was thinking more of:

    “Archer. MISTER Sterling Archer. What do you mean, you’ve never heard of me?”

    And:
    “Shut your mouth. And don’t pay any attention to the vagina in the sink.”

        Lana’s reply:

        ….or something like that. 😉
