DETAILED DESCRIPTION
For the coldest months
With 5 mm on the torso and 4 mm on the arms and legs, the Absolute 5/4 is the warmest kids' wetsuit in the range. It covers January and February on the Atlantic coast, with boots, gloves, and a hood. For a child who only goes out from March to November, a 4/3 is sufficient.
Flexible despite the thickness
The 100% recycled Superflex jersey and partially recycled Superlight Foam maintain elasticity at 5 mm. Billabong advertises it as lightweight for its thickness. This is important for a child who paddles.
Warm on the inside
The Graphene Recycler Plus lining combines graphene and Silicon Stretch. It retains heat and dries quickly. The seams are glued and then blind-stitched (GBS), with a Superflex tape applied by machine on the inside. Composition 80% neoprene, 20% nylon according to Billabong.
