All new for 2022, the 3mm Custom Omni Pro combines the protection of our 3mm 2.0 Gum Rubber Sole with the precision response and fit of our 3-Point Strap. The Omni Pro is intended for high-performance athletes who require more protection from rough environments, whether it's rivers, lakes, reefs, or even urban skimboard street sessions.
The 3mm Custom Omni Pro 2.0 features all of our top-flight materials and technologies, with an emphasis on extra durability and protection. Here are the highlights:
Like all of our new 2.0 Series boots, the 3mm Custom Omni Pro 2.0 features a one-piece, 3D molded natural rubber sole. The Omni outsole is 3mm thick (versus 1mm on the Custom and Custom Pro boots). The extra sole thickness emphasizes comfort and protection for walking to/from/in the water. Our sticky/flexible gum-rubber compound offers maximum traction on wet, uneven surfaces and natural flexibility for barefoot-feeling while walking. The sole wraps up the toes and heel for increased durability and protection against rocks, urchins, and reef.
Our patented heat-moldable 2.0 Thermofoam Sole has also been completely redesigned including a more comfortable Mini-Split internal split toe. The Mini-Split is 1cm shorter than our prior internal split, improving fit and comfort for a wider variety of toe shapes while still maintaining precise control. The Thermofoam Sole is 4mm thick in the toes/heels for extra protection and 3mm elsewhere to avoid over-heating in tropical waters.
Another Solite innovation, our 3-Point Strap anchors under both the arch and heel on the inside of the foot, and under the heel on the outside of the foot. When the strap is tightened, the boot snugs up evenly under the arch and through the rear of the boot, providing instant response and slop-free fit for all arch and ankle profiles. Our Floating D-Ring on the strap isn't stitched in place, allowing it to "float" naturally to the optimal position on your foot. Our 3-Point Strap is also 100% Tatex-coated for extra durability and zero water absorption.
The Custom Pro 2.0 features a unique Thermal Rebound plush, quick-dry interior lining material in the upper. This material features a thin, flexible metallic grid-layer between the neoprene and the outer lining, reflecting body heat back to the skin for enhanced warmth. Lab tests on the Thermal Rebound laminate show an increase in insulation exceeding 10%, which extends your sessions and increases your odds of getting the wave of the day.
For maximum abrasion resistance, we use Tuff-Skin outer lining material on the neoprene upper of the 3mm Omni Pro, providing extra durability when walking through reefs, boulders, and other uneven surfaces. This is the same proven outer lining we use on the 2mm Custom Reef 2.0 and 2mm Custom Omni 2.0 styles.
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 2mm 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.
To ease on/off, we've integrated our low-profile Stealth-Loop in the heel. 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.
