Off the top in overhead surf or kite sessions when the wind turns side-shore, the R1® Back-Zip Short-Sleeved Full Suit offers a blend of warmth and flexibility for high performance in warmer waters. Handmade with high-quality neoprene and a fast-drying recycled polyester lining, wetsuit features include flexible one-piece front panel, extended flap closure at the neck with PU-molded hook-and-loop closure for increased comfort, and center-back zipper with crescent-shaped neoprene panel for a stronger seal and easier entry. Ankle cuff edges are heat-pressed to reduce hydraulic lift and flushing. Anatomically engineered Supratex kneepads are flexible, durable and PVC-free. All critical seams and stress areas are secured with glue dots, 1cm bartacks and Melco® reinforcements.
