KEY INFORMATION
RIDE ENGINE RE_X 3/2 CHEST ZIP MEN'S - 3/2 mm Fullsuit
What we like
- Japanese limestone neoprene: This highly elastic, high-memory Japanese limestone and carbon black based neoprene ensures your fullsuit retains its precise fit session after session.
- The Texture_X outer coating was chosen by Ride Engine for its exceptional elasticity. This keeps the fullsuit flexible, whether your arms are extended on the bar or on the wing.
- Thermal Lock fleece lining: Strategically placed on the torso, where your body loses the most heat, this lining maintains flexibility in other areas and dries quickly between sessions.
- Glued, blind-stitched, and taped seams: The thread never penetrates the neoprene, and an internal tape covers all seams, completely sealing out water.
- Body CAD cut: The precise placement of panels and seams is calculated to allow unrestricted movement and maintain a perfect fit, season after season.
- Chest Zip: The entry point is through the chest, keeping the back panel seamless and flexible. This compact opening minimizes water entry during falls and duck dives, and you can check the closure at a glance.
- Recycled rubber knee pads: These Eco Strong knee pads are glued with a solvent-free lamination and solution-dyed yarns.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The RE_X 3/2 in the range
Ride Engine designed this fullsuit for cool water sessions. It is a thin, comfortable fullsuit that is flexible and protects without restricting your movement. Ride Engine recommends the RE_X 3/2 for water temperatures from 14 to 18 degrees. Whether you're into Kite, Wing, foil, or Surf, the brand states it's perfect for all four. In the same men's series, you'll find the RE_X 4/3, RE_X 5/4/3, and RE_X 5/4/3 Hooded. This same fullsuit is also available in a women's version.
Neoprene and Linings
The RE_X features Japanese limestone and carbon black neoprene. This was chosen for its elasticity and memory, as well as its insulation. On the exterior, the Texture_X coating enhances elasticity. Inside, the linings are recycled, and Thermal Lock fleece is placed on the torso to keep your core warm. This design ensures your arms and legs maintain freedom of movement, and the fullsuit dries quickly.
Seams and Cut
All seams are first glued and then blind-stitched, with an internal tape covering them completely. The Body CAD cut precisely positions the panels and seams. This allows for unrestricted movement and a perfect fit. Drainage ports at the ankles quickly clear out any water trapped in the lower legs. The Eco Strong knee pads are 100% recycled and printed; they provide excellent grip on your board and reinforce a high-wear area.
Sizes
Available in six sizes: S, M, MT, L, LT, and XL. The MT and LT sizes are longer cuts of the M and L. They offer the same torso fit with added length. The Ride Engine guide higher on the page provides all measurements.

FAQ - RIDE ENGINE RE_X 3/2 CHEST ZIP MEN'S
Ride Engine suggests this wetsuit for water temperatures between 14 and 18 degrees Celsius. When the water dips below 14 degrees, the RE_X 4/3 is your go-to. For the entire RE_X series, the Ride Engine guide recommends: a 3/2 for 14 to 18 degrees, a 4/3 for 10 to 14, a 5/4/3 for 6 to 10, and a 5/4/3 Hooded for 6 to 10 degrees and colder. These ranges are just a guide; factors like wind, air temperature, session length, and your personal sensitivity to cold also play a role.
Start with your height and weight using the Ride Engine guide higher up on this page, then confirm your chest measurement. If you're tall for your weight, the MT and LT cuts are designed for you. A wetsuit needs to fit snugly when dry; otherwise, it will flush with water. You want no air pockets in the lower back, under the arms, or in the crotch, but still be able to breathe deeply, raise your arms, and bend freely. If you're between sizes, give us a call.
Yes. Ride Engine classifies it for wingfoil, foil, Kite, and Surf. Its flexibility is as important on a surfboard as it is under a harness.
Rinse your wetsuit with fresh water after every session, both inside and out, paying close attention to the zip, cuffs, and seams. A neoprene cleaner will take care of any odors. Dry it in the shade, inside out first, laid flat at the waist on a wide hanger. Never hang it by the collar. Keep it away from direct sun, radiators, hot water, and washing machines. Store it completely dry, without tight folding. Before closing the zip, rinse off any sand and never force it if it catches.
