Why do we call it the Dō Jacket?

Dō is a Japanese term meaning "path" or "way" -- derived from the word, Tao. The term signifies a lifelong dedication and disciplined journey of continued learning, uplift of skill and character growth via spiritual, mental or physical pursuits. Given the versatile use-cases for the Jacket itself, this monniker is apt.

FEATURES & DETAILS

This material significantly adds to wetsuit longevity – maintaining overall shape & memory. This nylon negates the need for a fuzzy hollow-fiber lining (which inevitably absorbs water – increasing weight & evaporative heat loss).

Key point: This is the only nylon we use – aka there is no substitute or excuse for anything less

Featuring a secure velcro closure – keeping your jacket zipped in even aggressive conditions

Specifically, Yamamoto limestone rubber technology with Ti-Alpha (Titanium-Alpha): a titanium alloy between the rubber & nylon that reflects body heat back inwards -- while keeping the cold out

MADE BY XIIIG (AKA “13G”)

Never Faking The Funk

Real is real: 00 BY XIIIG Wetsuits are unquestionably the finest on the planet. Aka unapologetically best-in-class everything — with zero exceptions in quality or performance. As well as a total dedication to brand integrity by doing what is right (and true) by the customer. In other words:

  • We don’t switch-up suppliers to use lesser-than materials & then try to convince people that it’s still something top shelf (If you know, you know)
  • We don’t strive for mediocrity by laminating basic sandpaper-esque nylons that pill like crazy & absorb water like a sponge (We see you)
  • We don’t contribute to over consumption, deep discounting & ultimately excessive landfill waste by intentionally designing for obsolescence: using seam placement & construction methods that are guaranteed to fail (Big facts)

PREMIUM PRODUCT FUNDAMENTALS

Like ad meliora means onto better things

WARMER

Via Yamamoto’s OG Optimum Technology – a perfectly uniform closed-cell structure that looks like tiny hexagons and is 99% water impermeable (compared to the standard 65% via oil-derived neoprene). Unlike “factory-pricing” knock-off’s, OG Optimum Technology is also enhanced by Ti-Alpha (Titanium-Alpha): a unique titanium alloy between the rubber & nylon that reflects body heat back inwards -- better balancing the body’s thermostatic line

LIGHTER

Because of the water that your suit doesn’t absorb (and via the most tear-resistant, pill-proof & hydrophobic 4-way stretch nylon in the game – also excellent for kiteboard harnesses). Ask anyone that knows their wetsuits: Ultra-low water absorption makes for a quick-drying wetsuit (always preferable for the next session). Just like a tighter-fit in the dressing room most often translates to more functional suit in the water (with your suit breaking-in over time)
MORE SUSTAINABLE

MORE SUSTAINABLE

Slowing down over-consumption via a premium wetsuit that represents durable performance. Made via longer-lasting limestone-based rubber that is derived from a Japanese source of calcium carbonate with several thousand years of readily available deposits

MORE FLEXIBLE

Yamamoto's Titanium coated OG Optimum Technology rubber stretches over 355% its size – while maintaining excellent elastic memory. In other words, after the first few sessions, a 00 BY XIIIG wetsuit “breaks-in” like a baseball glove & adjusting its shape to the user's silhouette
