Rocket Science Sports' research and development doesn't just stop at making things measurably faster or lighter, but greener as well. For those not keeping tabs on the latest hip talk, I mean ecologically friendly.
Rubber (neoprene) is typically made of a petrochemical base. The neoprene used in our wetsuits is made of a limestone base which is 99.7% calcium carbonate! This means it is much safer for the environment once it's been discarded. As well, manufacturing and processing of the neoprene done with hydroelectric power, and the waste heat is used for eel farming. Yum yum!
We believe that while we strive for the stars with our technology and performance, there is no reason to forget about taking care of the earth beneath our feet. Rocket Science Sports stands by this commitment.
Cheers!
