Research & Development
A first look at new gear we’re working on.
Giving you transparency into the design process is a really important priority for our team. We think it’s valuable to know where your gear is coming from, why it’s being made and the journey it’s been on.
We’ll be periodically updating this to share new concepts currently in development and to give you an opportunity to share your thoughts.
In Development
WINDSHIELD HOODED RASHGUARD
Quickly becoming known around the North Shore as the ultimate in-water solution for tropical, windy conditions, there hasn't been this much hype around a prototype since the original Hooded Rashguard. Covered in PU-coated lycra, the Windshield absorbs zero water while simultaneously blocking wind chill and 100% of sun rays. A critical solution for harsh solar conditions and long aquatic exposure.
The Windshield went through our first-ever Test Pilot cycle, and will return for our next cycle, 008, in the coming weeks. Become a member and apply to be a Test Pilot to get your hands on one
