DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and Comfort
We recommend this wetsuit for temperate waters. The Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining on the torso and back provides great insulation while maintaining the stretch you need for long sessions. You'll stay warm without sacrificing mobility when paddling or during transitions.
Freedom of Movement
The Silk_Stuff lining on the chest, shoulders, and arms delivers a second-skin feel and optimal stretch. You'll feel the difference when paddling, throwing kiteloops, or carving turns on your surfboard: your shoulders have total freedom.
Sealing and Durability
The glued and blind-stitched seams and Melco reinforcements at key stress points reduce flushing and increase the suit's lifespan. This wetsuit is built to handle abrasion from your board and session after session of use.
Smart Design and Drainage
The two-way front zip makes getting in and out easy, while keeping the neoprene snug across the chest to prevent flushing. Reinforced drain holes on the chest quickly shed any water that gets in, ensuring a comfortable fit throughout your session.
