A few steps off the Great Highway and you're paddling out into the shifting peaks of Ocean Beach, where a solid wetsuit is as indispensable as a trusted step-up board. The handmade R3® Front-Zip Hooded Full Suit offers an ideal blend of warmth and performance, with high quality neoprene and a merino wool and recycled polyester lining that offers unmatched strength, warmth and flex. Features include an overlapped front yoke, neoprene underarm panels with nylon jersey on both sides (instead of wool) for maximum stretch, and a 3-panel hood that conforms to the head for a comfortable fit when you're scratching for the horizon. With durable and flexible 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.
