In this blog we'll run through the major difference.
Yamamoto limestone-based neoprene has a higher closed air cell content (approx 94%), this means there are more individual air bubbles inside the neoprene, each air cell/bubble is waterproof. This makes it nearly impossible for any water to soak in.
In oil-based neoprene, the closed cell content is only approximately 60%, the remaining 40% of cells absorb water.

-Less absorbtion making it warmer to wear and faster to dry.
-More air content making it lighter and more comfortable.
-Uniformed cell structure, for a stronger bond.

Seventhwave
Wetsuits are made in New Zealand from Yamamoto Limestone neoprene. Seventhwave
Wetsuits are different because we make each wetsuit Custom-Fit, to the
customers measurements. We like to get your measurements and details and
then custom make your preferred wetsuit model and thickness to your
exact size and shape. We think that's why we get such good feedback
from our customers, many of whom come back again and again. To own a
Seventhwave wetsuit is to support New Zealand made, to stand up for
quality and to experience water sports in a warmer way.
