Matuse

Matuse Inc. is an American company focused on wetsuits and outdoor apparel for men and women. Matuse was founded in 2006 in San Diego, California. Co-founded by Matthew Larson[2] and John Campbell,[3] Matuse was established with the intention of creating sustainable wetsuits by using a premium material named Geoprene; an eco-friendly Japanese limestone rubber (an alternative to oil-based neoprene).[4] Later on, Matuse started creating other sustainable wetsuits made from a premium material named Geoflex; using water-based glues for seams and laminations, along with recycled nylons and rubber.[5] One of Matuse's wetsuits (the Dante Hydrasilk) was recently named one of the ten best sustainable wetsuits of 2023 by Surfd.com for the eco-friendly materials it's made out of.[6]

Matuse's logo is derived from an ancient Taoist symbol that signifies three solid lines for heaven, three broken lines for Earth and a circle that represents the constant quest for perfection. Matuse's slogan is to make all their products "Ichiban," a Japanese phrase which means to make everything the best it can possibly be.[7]
