Soöruz is a French neoprene and surfwear brand. Since 1999, Soöruz has been designing and developing products for all water sports enthusiasts and board sports fans. Soöruz is committed to the development of efficient and high-quality products whose top priority, alongside customer satisfaction, is sustainable and resource-saving production. Soöruz was founded by riders for riders. We are constantly innovating our products and adapting them to the needs of riders. We follow the development of their sports and create products in direct co-operation with them. This is how the ‘Rider’s vision’ concept was born. It has become the official slogan of the brand. Very early on, we paid attention to the environment when developing our wetsuits.
First with bamboo and recycled polyester, then with Yulex© based on waste-free, clean and sustainable natural gauze. In 2016, our ecological suit B.I.G. (for Black Is Green) 100% Naturalprene was launched on the market. In 2018, we released the BLUE Line School/Club eco-concept series, the first training suit made from recycled polyester and limestone. 2019 saw the market launch of our GREEN Line wetsuit with a 60% biologically produced foam based on oyster powder, sugar cane residue, natural rubber and non-food vegetable oil. The production of these wetsuits generated zero waste in production.
In 2020, we developed and launched the first high-performance neoprene material Oysterprene based on oyster shell powder in our highest-performance wetsuit series, the GURU. This was followed in 2021 by the integration of Oysterprene in our best-selling FIGHTER, DIVINE and FLY + collections.
In 2024, the Oysterprene material was further developed into the new ‘Örganic Oysterprene’ material, which is made from natural rubber and oyster shells. The new neoprene foam offers unrivalled performance and is 63% USDA-certified. This takes both comfort and sustainability to a new level. The new technology will initially be available in the SOÖRUZ GURU PRO and GURU WIND range of wetsuits and provides mega flexibility in addition to the environmental aspect. This means that sustainability remains a top priority for Soöruz.
