Check out the recent article on blog.firstascent.com. The article covers a month long Arctic journey Matuse Family Member, Pat Millin, took back in April of 2009. Pat Millin was testing the TUMO with Hood 5/4/3 suit while on the trip. The freezing air temps combined with near slushy waters served as the ultimate proving ground for the new TUMO with Hood 5/4/3. Pat was stoked to be warm and moving free compared to his traveling partners. Pat said “The guys I was with were tripping out on how fast I was paddling and at how light my suit was. They couldn’t believe I could be so warm and loose.” We were glad to hear that the suit held up under such hard conditions and allowed Pat to surf when surf was available. With extreme weather conditions, harsh traveling and small windows of surf it’s a constant fight to find and surf perfect waves. To read the full article and see additional pictures CLICK HERE.
