Palm NeoFlex SS: Lightweight neoprene short-sleeve T-shirt

NeoFlex SS: Lightweight comfort on and in the water

Palm NeoFlex SS This is a lightweight, short-sleeved neoprene shirt designed for active movement on and in the water. The 0.5 mm material thickness provides discreet thermal protection without added bulk, and thanks to its four-way stretch, the shirt remains exceptionally comfortable while paddling, swimming, and participating in other water sports.

The form-fitting design ensures a snug fit and makes it easy to layer under a life jacket or paddling jacket. It’s ideal for warmer weather, changeable conditions, and anyone looking for a lightweight, functional layer instead of a regular T-shirt.

0.5 mm NeoFlex: Flexible limestone neoprene

The T-shirt is made of 0.5 mm thick NeoFlex neoprene. Limestone neoprene is four-way stretch, so it naturally adapts to the body's movements and does not restrict shoulder movement or forward bending while working.

• 0.5 mm neoprene thickness: A very lightweight thermal layer for warmer water and mild weather.
• Four-way stretch: It allows for natural movement while paddling, swimming, and during other dynamic activities.
• Limestone neoprene: A material alternative to conventional petroleum-based neoprene.
• Recycled outer material: The outer fabric is made from recycled material.

Recycled thermal lining

The inside of the T-shirt is soft recycled thermal lining, which enhances comfort and helps you stay comfortable even when in contact with colder water. The thin neoprene construction remains lightweight but provides greater thermal comfort than a standard performance T-shirt.

Expert Advice

NeoFlex is a very thin and extremely flexible material, so when trying on the shirt while dry, it should fit more snugly than regular performance clothing. Once wet, the neoprene will stretch further and become more comfortable. For best performance, secure the drawstring at the waist, and when wearing the shirt with shorts, use the loop to help keep the bottom hem in place while moving in the water.
