NeilPryde Mission 5/4 Fullsuit GBS BZ

Cold-water warmth, easy entry. The Mission 5/4 Fullsuit (GBS, Back Zip) balances reliable insulation with flexible panels and a smooth back-zip entry—perfect when you want fast on/off without sacrificing performance.

Highlights

• 5/4 mm warmth — 5 mm in the core for heat, 4 mm in arms/legs for mobility.
• Back-zip entry with easy-pull YKK zipper for quick in/out and a smooth chest panel.
• GBS seams (glued & blind-stitched) reduce flushing and boost durability.
• Thermal torso lining traps heat and dries faster between sessions.
• Critical-zone taping to reinforce high-stress panels without restricting stretch.
• Drain ports at lower legs to release trapped water after wipeouts.
• Abrasion-resistant knee pads and internal key loop for everyday practicality.

Who it’s for

Riders who want dependable warmth with the convenience of a back-zip: surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing or winging from late autumn to spring.

Recommended water temperature

Approx. 8–14 °C (46–57 °F), depending on wind chill and personal tolerance.

Tech & Construction

• Foam: Performance neoprene for warmth and stretch.
• Linings: Quick-dry thermal in the core; silky stretch lining in sleeves/legs.
• Seams: GBS throughout + taped stress zones.
• Entry: Back Zip (BZ) with glide-skin back barrier to limit flushing.
• Panels: Ergonomic pattern; pre-bent knees with abrasion protection.
• Details: Glide-skin neck, ankle drains, internal key loop.

Size & Fit

Regular/performance fit. Back-zip suits are forgiving at the shoulders; if between sizes, choose based on height first. Suit should feel snug when dry—neoprene relaxes slightly in water.

Care

• Rinse with fresh water after each session; dry in shade (inside-out first, then right-side-out).
• Avoid heaters and hot car interiors; store flat or on a wide hanger to protect shoulders.
• No machine wash/tumble; use wetsuit shampoo occasionally to preserve stretch and lining.
