DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and insulation
The 5/3 construction focuses insulation on your torso and legs, with thinner panels on the arms for mobility. Out on the water, you'll feel the chill less after just a few minutes, so you can keep riding longer without the shivers. It's the perfect balance for high-intensity winter sessions.
Fit and Ergonomics
The ergonomic design contours to your body, minimising bunching and reducing drag. Flex zones are placed at the joints to make paddling and rotations easier. Whatever your build, the cut stays snug without getting in the way of technical moves.
Seams and Watertightness
This wetsuit features taped seams to reduce leaks and limit heat loss. You'll feel less cold water flushing up inside, and you'll stay warmer even after a wipeout. The frontzip seals the main entry point while making the suit easy to get on.
Materials and Durability
This wetsuit is built with high-quality materials to handle heavy use in cold conditions. The 5/3 neoprene strikes a balance between insulation and flex, while reinforced construction details add to its lifespan. With the right care, this suit will keep performing session after session.
Performance on the Water
On the water, the SHIELD 5/3 FRONTZIP feels less restrictive than thicker wetsuits but still provides great insulation. You'll have all the mobility you need for paddling, controlling your kite, or handling your paddle during long sessions in cool weather.
Usage Tips
For a snug fit, go with your usual size. It's a good idea to check the seam seals on your first few rides. The frontzip makes getting in easy, but make sure it's fully closed to keep water out. If you ride in a mix of very cold and milder water, think about adding gloves, a hood, or boots to your kit.

FAQ - PROLIMIT SHIELD 5/3 FRONTZIP
This wetsuit is for any rider who doesn't let cold water stop them. It's ideal for regular surfers, kitesurfers, and paddleboarders looking to get more time on the water during the colder months.
Its main benefits are the extra warmth for your core, watertight seams that reduce flushing, and a frontzip that makes it easy to get on.
It comes in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. Pick your usual size for a snug fit that will keep you warm.
Absolutely. It's designed to be worn with gloves, a hood, and boots for the coldest days. It also works perfectly with any harness or impact vest.
To get the longest life out of your wetsuit, always rinse it with fresh water after each use. Let it dry in the shade, and store it either flat or on a wide-shouldered hanger. This will protect the neoprene and the seam seals.
