Nyord Mens Furno Warmth 4/3mm Chest Zip Wetsuit - Black - Thermal Warm Heat Layer Layers Easy Stretch

Product Information

They’re made by Buzz and Alex, two Ocean Beach regulars themselves, with an emphasis on warmth and durability. When he isn't working out, running or cycling, you'll find him roaming the countryside and trying out new podcasting and content creation equipment. Unsurprisingly, given its name, the Heat wetsuit did a great job of maintaining warmth – aided by hollow fibre insulated panels to the chest and back, with neck, arm and ankle seals to help keep flushes of cold water at bay.

It felt like the suit was made for someone a lot shorter, and with a smaller chest than me, which I wouldn’t have expected based on how most other mediums fit me. A performance-based wetsuit with a solid, warm lining, Quiskilver’s wetsuit matched the Rip Curl suit in terms of stretch, with an exceedingly comfortable lining.

This was Dakine’s first foray into the fullsuit business (as far as I’m aware) and it seems they’ve hit the nail on the head, first try. If you're heading to the coast, whether you're hitting the waves on a surfboard, bodyboard, or stand-up paddleboard (check our best paddle boards for beginners guide to get started) or even wild swimming, make sure you equip yourself with a quality wetsuit first. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. A wetsuit with an integrated hood is a good idea for the deepest winter, but it makes the suit less suitable for autumn or spring sessions when you’ll likely be surfing with the hood down, making the wettie more prone to flushing. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

What Quicksilver has done is create two entry systems to suit regular and goofy foot surfers, the idea being to reduce water flush during wipeouts by placing the entry on the non-lead side. I’ve known about Picture (formerly Picture Organic Clothing) for a while now, but had no idea they made wetsuits until this year. While that may seem like the best job in the world (and, I admit, it’s pretty fun), I assure you there is nothing glamorous about getting out of the water when the waves are firing to jog back to the car, take off a wet wetsuit, yank a dry one on over my still-wet body, and get back in the water. Sustainability: As good as it gets: Yulex rubber, recycled lining, fair trade and sustainable manufacturing. As expected from a certified B-Corp company like Finisterre, the Nieuwland wetsuit is built to last from sustainable materials, including Yulex, a less harmful alternative to petroleum-based neoprene.All in all, it's an innovative and beautifully made wetsuit that will be ideal for seasoned cold-water surfers looking to put their money where their mouth is and make a more eco-friendly purchase. When I’m surfing Pleasure Point, I tend to choose a thicker suit as I’m often waiting my turn amongst the crowd.
