How much does one plade cost? I looked on that page and it seems that only big companys can buy that. Can you please send me a little bit more information and the price you paid? Thank you

you mean one sheet of neoprene? It depends on thickness and what materials you choose for lining. The neoprene I ordered was 6m thick and had jersey(standard) lining on either side. A sheet of this, which is about 3 square meters, cost about 40 Euro + 8 Euro shipping within Europe. Shipping to America costs a lot more, about 75 Euro. so if you don't live in Europe, it is probably best to find a different supplier. Surf shops often have leftovers from mending suits or might be able to order you a smaller amount when they put in a big order. Hope this was of help.

I live in Europe, but I will look for a cheaper solution, I think. Thank you very much!
