DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and insulation
The 5/3 construction targets insulation on your torso and lower body, while keeping the arm panels thinner for enhanced mobility. On the water, you'll feel less cold after just a few minutes. This lets you extend your sessions without gritting your teeth. This optimal compromise is specifically designed for intensive winter outings.
Fit and Ergonomics
The ergonomic design follows your body shape, minimizing folds and reducing drag in the water. Comfort zones are strategically placed at the joints to facilitate paddling movements and rotations. Depending on your body size, the cut remains fitted without restricting technical maneuvers.
Seams and Watertightness
This wetsuit features taped seams to reduce water infiltration and limit heat exchange. You'll experience less cold water flushing, and your thermal sensation remains stable even after immersion. The frontzip controls entry points while simplifying donning.
Materials and Durability
The wetsuit uses high-quality materials to withstand intensive use in cold conditions. The 5/3 neoprene balances insulation and flexibility, while reinforced finishes extend its lifespan. With proper care, the wetsuit retains its properties longer.
On-water behaviour
On the water, the SHIELD 5/3 FRONTZIP restricts movement less than thicker cuts while maintaining excellent insulation. You'll retain the necessary mobility for paddling, sheeting in a kite, or holding a paddle during extended sessions in cool weather.
Usage Tips
Choose your usual size for a snug fit and check the watertightness of the seams during your first few sessions. The frontzip makes donning easier, but be sure to close it properly to limit water entry. If you alternate between very cold waters and moderate temperatures, consider complementary layers like gloves, a hood, or boots.
