Kimi Werner filets a fish on the shore of Indonesia
RESOURCE CONSERVATION IS A RIFFE HUNTING PHILOSOPHY.
In Jay’s days of participating in spearfishing competitions, he eventually felt sorrow by the amount of fish that were taken, both large and small. Jay recognized the devastating effects. There would be none left for the future generations. This shaped his vision to adopt the practice of taking only what is needed for consumption.

“All divers should protect the waters they swim and hunt in, ensuring future divers the experience and excitement of freediving that I’ve had over the past seventy years. I strive to produce high quality, spearfishing and diving equipment capable of handling any condition."

"Selective Divers set their sights on those few prize fish for consumption. Be Selective, Fish for the Future.”  – Jay Riffe

    Finally get to write a review!!

    I brought this suite this fall and have been too busy to try it. I was super worried it wouldn’t fit buy looking at it, even though I was smack in size guide range, but I finally got the time and courage to lube it up and slip into it. FITS like an absolute glove!!! Love it, super warm wearing it in the pacific northern west, Vancouver island. We are tough up here but the water is still pretty cold even in the summer and it’s all the suite I need to maintain body heat. Super comfortable!!! Slipped on and off with out any fuss, when I first put it on was like it wanted to get on my body! Great job Riffe, happy customer! Even if I I had to gamble on the size guide with a special order to Canada.

    Although this is my second one, the first one really didn’t last as long as expected compared to other suits in the exact same environment every day. I work in pools everyday doing leak detection. The knee pads were what wore out and the suit ended up ripping at one of the knees. This has not happened with any other brand (I have used a lot of different ones over the years). I got another because I do like the fit and feel of the suits and it was on sale so I took advantage. The sale was the only reason I bought the same suit again. The seams were leaking in spots prematurely but that was not as concerning as the knees. The hood ripped in multiple places around the opening even after babying it when putting it on and removing it. This was surprising that it ripped much sooner than other suits and trying to be careful with it. I will likely try to go to a different brand for the next one I get for work. I would recommend it for diving but expect only one season out of it.

    Hi Lowell - It sounds like you are using our wetsuit for commercial use. Our open-cell wetsuits are designed for ocean and natural water environments and everyday use in pools with chlorine/chemicals undoubtedly is rough on the neoprene, glue, and other materials. We will bring all your concerns to the production team and integrate what we can for improvements. Thanks for sharing your feedback and putting our wetsuit through the ultimate test!
