Limestone Neoprene Wetsuits & Float Vests

Why We Use Limestone Neoprene (And Why It’s Way Better Than the Old Stuff)

Roarsome exists to inspire adventure and get kids outdoors while protecting our planet as best we can. That’s why our NEW Wetsuits and Float Vests are made from limestone neoprene—a cleaner, greener upgrade to traditional petroleum-based neoprene.

But what actually is limestone neoprene? And why is it better for your little adventurers (and the planet)? Let’s dive in.

🌊 What Is Limestone Neoprene?

Neoprene is the spongy, flexible material used in most wetsuits. Traditionally, it’s made using petroleum—yes, the same stuff used to fuel cars. Not ideal.

Limestone neoprene is made from—you guessed it—limestone rock. It goes through a process that creates the same soft, stretchy material, without the dirty fossil fuels. Clever, right?

🌍 Why Limestone Neoprene Is Better

Here’s why we made the switch (and why you’ll love it too):

✅ Better for the Planet
Limestone neoprene uses natural minerals, not oil. That means a lower carbon footprint and no reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels. It’s a step in the right direction toward cleaner oceans and greener adventures.

🧊 Warmer for Longer
Thanks to a higher micro-cell structure, limestone neoprene traps heat better. That means your little ones stay warmer, even when the sea feels like it’s straight from the Arctic.

🐾 Stretchier & Comfier
More stretch = more play. Limestone neoprene is flexible, lightweight, and soft on skin, so your kids can splash, paddle, and belly-flop without feeling stiff or restricted.

🧼 Long-Lasting
It’s stronger and more durable than petroleum-based neoprene. That means fewer replacements, less waste, and more hand-me-downs for siblings and friends. Win-win.

🤿 So… Is Limestone Neoprene Totally Eco-Friendly?

We’ll be honest—no neoprene is 100% perfect but limestone neoprene is a major leap forward. Anything which reduces our dependance on oil-derived chemicals is a good thing in our book! We’re always looking for ways to be even more sustainable—and this is one big splash in the right direction.
