Overview
The Seek Core 3/2 Shorty LS Front Zip blends summer comfort with extra wind protection from its long sleeves. The 3/2 mm build keeps your core warm while the short-leg cut stays light and flexible for surf, kite & wing in mild waters. A reliable Front Zip entry, soft-touch linings, and durable seam construction make it a favorite for shoulder-season sessions and early-morning summer rides.
Highlights
- Long sleeves — added sun & wind chill protection without the weight of full legs.
- Front Zip entry — easy on/off with a secure, low-flush chest closure.
- Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining (selected panels) — comfy, quick-dry thermo pile where you need warmth.
- Silk_Stuff inner — smooth next-to-skin feel for easier changing and less chafe.
- Stretch panels — balanced flex in paddle/pump zones for natural movement.
- GBS seams — glued & blindstitched construction to reduce water entry.
- Critical taping — reinforcement at stress points for longer life.
- Key pocket with loop — safe stash for a key or tracker tag.
