5/4 mm Front Zip (FZ) GBS Seams Thermal Lining Eco Materials
Highlights
- 5/4 mm warmth — 5 mm in the core for heat, 4 mm in arms/legs for mobility.
- Front-zip entry with an easy-pull YKK slider for quick on/off and a low, flexible chest panel.
- GBS (glued & blind-stitched) seams to reduce flushing and keep you warmer longer.
- Internal tape in high-stress zones for durability without adding bulk (knees, seat, crotch).
- Quick-dry thermal lining in the torso to trap heat and shed water between sessions.
- Eco build: limestone-based foam, recycled liners, and water-based, solvent-free lamination.
- Ankle/calf drain points to release trapped water after duck dives and crashes.
- Abrasion-resistant knee pads for grip and longevity during surf/kite/wing sessions.
- Key loop on the interior for essentials.
Who it’s for
Riders who want a warm, flexible cold-water suit with a cleaner materials story—ideal for surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing or wingfoiling in late autumn to spring conditions.
Recommended water temperature
Approx. 8–14 °C (46–57 °F), depending on wind chill, activity level and personal tolerance.
Tech & Construction
- Foam: Limestone-based neoprene for a lighter, stretchier feel vs. traditional oil-based.
- Linings: Recycled, fast-dry thermal lining in core; silky stretch lining in sleeves/legs.
- Seams: GBS with strategic internal tape for durability and reduced flushing.
- Entry: Front Zip chest entry with minimal bulk, anti-flush shoulder barrier.
- Panels: Ergonomic pattern for paddling/foiling; pre-bent knees with abrasion protection.
- Details: Drain ports at lower leg, key loop, glide-skin neck seal.
- Adhesives: Water-based, solvent-free lamination to reduce VOCs.
Size & Fit
Performance fit. If you’re between sizes or have broad shoulders, consider the larger size for front-zip comfort. The suit should feel snug when dry—neoprene relaxes slightly in water.

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