The story

About Finisterre Wetsuit

Owner · Tom Kay (founder, 2003)

Finisterre makes its wetsuits from Yulex natural rubber sourced from FSC certified Hevea plantations that it traces back to smallholders in Thailand and Vietnam, and states the suits are built by its partner factory Plethora in Thailand. Finisterre switched its entire wetsuit range to Yulex in 2021 and names both the material supplier and the factory. The main gaps are that Finisterre does not publish a full component supplier list, and lining, nylon and glue sources are less documented than the natural rubber.

How it was readEvery product listed in Finisterre Wetsuit's live catalogue is retrieved and its stated fibre composition read individually, from the Finisterre Wetsuit product page, Finisterre Wetsuit's own product data and its material labels. A fibre percentage for Finisterre Wetsuit is published only when 100% of the Finisterre Wetsuit catalogue has been read. Items Finisterre Wetsuit sells that carry no clothing textile, such as gift cards, packaging, jewellery and homeware, are excluded from the percentage rather than counted as a pass or a fail.
Sources checkedChecked: the store's Shopify product feed (products.json); each product's own page and product data.

How Finisterre Wetsuit compares across published ratings

Wear it longer

Work out the real cost per wear

Use the price and realistic wear count to compare long-term value.

£0.00 per wear

Cost per wear is the honest test behind "buy less, buy better": a £200 coat worn 300 times beats a £25 one worn 5 times. It rewards wearing what you own and choosing things built to last.
