Innovation is a founding value of the Beuchat brand. Georges Beuchat was a prolific inventor who made his eponymous company into a pioneer of underwater sports, in particular through two major innovations: the underwater speargun in 1947 and above all the isothermal wetsuit in 1953. This second invention was truly revolutionary, inducing huge growth in all underwater activities and laying the foundations that have allowed Beuchat to become today’s benchmark brand in thermal protection.
