Shabo is a Japanese term that describes a small ring worn by ninjas. It was used in hand-to-hand combat to strike the pressure points. In the water, your Shabo glove fights the cold with the same ferociousness.

Most neoprene is petroleum-based. It's messy, it's hazardous - it goops up sea otters. Matuse's wetsuits are made from Yamamoto rubber, which is derived from 99.7% pure limestone. It is warmer (98% water impermeable) and lasts longer (titanium coated) than standard neoprene. It is also kinder to mother nature since it's made from limestone and does not come from petroleum. Yamamoto's Geoprene technology means thinner rubber is warmer rubber. It not only weighs less, it also allows athletes to focus on the right issues (like better surfing), and fuss less over the wrong ones (like being cold, uncomfortable - and performing like a wet noodle).
