Large-cell vs. small-cell neoprene
Cell size usually come into play in thicker wet suits. It determines how warm or comfortable a wet suit will be. Small-celled neoprene offers more warmth, strength and better lamination, with slightly less stretch. But small-celled neoprene is more expensive. Larger-celled neoprene has weaker cell walls and will crush or rupture more easily. It also produces a less stable bonding surface for lamination, but does allow more stretch and softness; and it's cheaper.
