Buell RB1 Jacket

The 1mm thickness is designed for mild water conditions. It provides just enough insulation to take the edge off a chilly breeze or cool water without overheating you, making it ideal for transitional seasons or early mornings.

Because it uses Ninja Neoprene V-Foam, it is significantly more flexible than traditional neoprene. It feels closer to a performance rash guard in terms of range of motion, but with the added benefit of thermal retention.

No, flat-stitched seams are specifically designed to lay flush against the skin. This construction minimizes bulk and reduces the friction points that typically cause irritation during repetitive paddling motions.

The 3/4 back zip creates a wider opening than a standard pullover, making it much easier to slide over your shoulders. It strikes a good balance between a secure, streamlined fit and the convenience of not having to struggle to get out of it after a session.

While you could technically layer it, the RB1 is designed as a standalone top for warmer conditions. Adding it under a full suit would likely create unnecessary bulk and restrict your movement, which defeats the purpose of its flexible design.
