The waves haven't changed since guys were surfing in sweaters at Steamer Lane, but these days there's no need to paddle in with shoulders seizing from the cold. With high quality neoprene and a merino wool and recycled polyester lining that provides unmatched warmth, strength and flex, the R3® Back-Zip Full Suit keeps you comfortable in the chilly lineups up north. Wetsuit features include internal / external neck gasket, center-back zipper with crescent-shaped neoprene panel for improved seal, and neoprene underarm panels with nylon jersey on both sides (instead of wool) for full stretch while paddling. With flexible and durable PVC-free kneepads and Supratex cuffs to minimize flushing. All critical seams and stress areas are secured with glue dots, 1cm bartacks and Melco® reinforcements.
