The battle against counterfeit YAMAMOTO material has been ongoing for decades. To protect our most valued customers, we have decided to take the following actions.
Purpose
1. Protecting Consumers
With the mission of "to create the world where people can safely enjoy the sea," YAMAMOTO continues to produce performance materials which comply with environmental, health, chemical regulations such as REACH. Using fake products that do not guarantee peformance and safety can cause unexpected damage to your health and life.
2. Protecting Wetsuit Brands
Our customers, wetsuit brands, invest substantial costs in branding and marketing. Using counterfeit products is a despicable act that undermines the corporate efforts of our customers.
Measures
We are working to enhance traceability. Disclosure of supply chain information may be requested for this purpose. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Products with verified supply chain information are granted original hangtags as a proof of authenticity.

If you are unsure about the authenticity of your wetsuit, feel free to contact us.
In the unlikely event that issues remain unresolved, we may consult our legal advisors to take appropriate actions.
