Pro-Level Performance in the Coldest Conditions
Solite 5mm wetsuit boots
3D Molded Natural Rubber Sole
Like all of our new 2.0 Series wetsuit boot, the 5mm Custom 2.0 features a 3D-molded 1mm natural rubber sole, wrapping up the toes and heel for increased durability and protection against rocks, urchins, and reef. The one-piece sole design leaves no exposed gaps between sole pods, insuring extra protection and durability.
Custom-Fit 2.0 Thermofoam Sole with Round Toe Design
Our patented heat-moldable 2.0 Thermofoam sole has also been completely redesigned including a Round Toe design for max warmth. The Thermo Foam Sole is 6mm thick in the toes/heels for extra protection and 5mm elsewhere.
Tatex Flex-Spine
Further fortifying the exterior is our exclusive Tatex Flex-Spine. The Flex Spine stiffens the back of the boot, acting as a shoe-horn for easy entry and also providing a sticky surface to grab your wetsuit leg and prevent flushing. The inside is lined with a plush quick-dry lining material for max airflow, improving warmth and comfort.
EZ-O Cuff with Overkill Seams
Our EZ-O Cuff design provides a seamless barrier against flushing with a larger panel than other o-ring seals, providing much easier on-off and reducing stress on the seams. To reduce bulk under the wetsuit leg and allow for easier on-off, the EZ-O panel is reduced to 5mm thickness. Since booties take serious abuse, we cut no corners on our neoprene seam construction. Our Overkill neoprene seams are triple-glued, blind-stitched, then sealed on the exterior with liquid seam seal for maximum durability and longevity.
Reinforced Stealth-Loop
To ease on/off, we've integrated our low-profile Stealth-Loop in the heel of the wetsuit boot. The Stealth Loop is laminated between the neoprene and our co-molded rubber/textile heel reinforcement patch, providing incredible durability and pull-strength. The Stealth Loop is also Tatex-coated for extra strength and zero-water absorption.
The Solite Story
Solite Innovations LLC was founded by lifelong cold-water surfers Jamie Meiselman and Tyler Callaway. Both spent their formative surfing years in the Northeast US, where thick wetsuit boots and gloves are essential for most of the year.
Meiselman spent much of his career in the snowboarding industry. He ran the boot division for Burton Snowboards and other leading snowboard brands.
Callaway has been in the surf industry for decades. He notably established and ran FCS Fins/Accessories in the Americas. Solite is a bi-coastal company, with Callaway in California and Meiselman in New Jersey.
Solite wetsuit boots are the result of over 5 years of research, development, and testing in cold-water and tropical lineups worldwide.
From mid-winter Maine to low-tide G-Land, we’ve had some of the world’s best surfers test and refine our boots. We are thrilled to share our technology with the world.
