DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and insulation
We recommend this wetsuit for its warmth without adding stiffness. The Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining on the back and torso provides effective insulation against cold wind. It remains very stretchy, so you stay warm during extended sessions without restricting your movement.
Flexibility and freedom of movement
The 4/3 mm neoprene, combined with Silk_Stuff lining on the upper body, guarantees excellent elasticity in the shoulders and arms. You'll find the mobility you need for technical surf maneuvers or frequent position changes in kitesurf and wingfoil.
Ergonomics and donning
The front zip makes donning easy and limits water entry. It also preserves back mobility. We love this feature for saving time before your session and avoiding neck tension when you take it off.
Durability and Finish
Stress points are reinforced, and the seams are designed to minimize irritation while improving wear resistance. This wetsuit is built to last through many trips without losing comfort.
Feminine Fit
The cut is adapted to the female body shape with adjusted panels and attention paid to ease of movement in the shoulders. The result is a fit that follows your movements while offering comfortable support.
Versatility of Use
Designed as an allround basic, this wetsuit adapts to various watersports. Whether you're Surf, kitesurf, or wingfoil, it provides a good balance of warmth, comfort, and freedom of movement.
