DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This wetsuit provides the warmth you need for cooler water temperatures.
The Hot Stuff 3.0 lining traps air in its structure to keep you warm without compromising elasticity, while Silk Stuff 2.0 on contact areas offers a soft feel against your skin. You'll quickly feel the difference in waters between 12 and 17 °C: less cold, more comfort to extend your sessions.
Freedom of Movement and Comfort
The Seek Core 4/3 uses Natural Rubber for a blend of flexibility and support. Its seamless shoulders and minimized panels improve arm mobility. The ergonomic front zip with One Hand Zipper lets you adjust the closure with one hand. This makes for quick and easy dressing.
Durability Designed to Last
Glued Blind Stitch seams combined with Maki_Tape 2.0 and Seam Reinforcements protect areas subject to wear. This results in a resistant wetsuit that withstands friction and maintains its shape over time.
Protection Against Water Ingress
Water Defender Leg limits water coming up through the legs, and reinforced drainage openings efficiently evacuate water. These details improve thermal regulation and comfort during sessions, especially when waves are splashing.
Practicality and Useful Details
The wetsuit includes a key pocket with a loop, a replaceable drawstring, and separate leg straps. These small extras facilitate daily use and adjustment according to your body shape.
Suitable for All Body Types
Available from XS to 4XL with Short and Tall versions, the Seek Core 4/3 adapts to many body sizes. We recommend consulting the size guide to choose the fit closest to your body size and weight.
