KEY INFORMATION
RIDE ENGINE RE_X 5/4/3 CHEST ZIP WOMEN - 5/4/3 mm winter 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.
- Texture_X exterior coating: Ride Engine selected this coating for its exceptional elasticity. It keeps the fullsuit flexible, even with its increased thickness.
- 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 designed for a female physique: The panels follow the female body shape, reducing unnecessary material and bulk, and ensuring a fit that lasts.
- 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 interior lining: The RE_X's interior linings are crafted from recycled material, delivering warmth without compromise.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The RE_X 5/4/3 in the Range
Ride Engine built this fullsuit for cold water, adding extra thickness and a thermal lining to keep you warm during long sessions when the water gets chilly. Ride Engine recommends the RE_X 5/4/3 for water from 6 to 10 degrees Celsius. Whether you're kiteboarding, winging, foiling, or surfing, the brand states it's suitable for all four. In the same women's series, you'll find the RE_X 3/2, RE_X 4/3, and RE_X 5/4/3 Hooded. The same wetsuit is also available in a men's version.
Neoprene and Linings
The RE_X features Japanese limestone and carbon black neoprene, chosen for its elasticity, insulation, and memory. 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 glued and then blind-stitched, with tape fully covering them on the inside. The Body CAD cut is specifically designed for a female physique: a snug fit that moves with your body. Drainage ports at the ankles release any water trapped in the lower legs. The 100% recycled and printed Eco Strong knee pads grip your board and reinforce an area that sees a lot of wear.
Sizes
Five sizes are available: 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. The Ride Engine guide higher on the page provides height, weight, and chest, waist, and hip measurements.

FAQ - RIDE ENGINE RE_X 5/4/3 CHEST ZIP WOMEN'S
Ride Engine recommends water temperatures of 6 to 10 degrees. When the water gets icy, the Hooded version with an integrated hood takes over. For the entire RE_X series, the Ride Engine guide specifies: 3/2 for 14 to 18 degrees, 4/3 for 10 to 14, 5/4/3 for 6 to 10, and 5/4/3 Hooded for 6 to 10 degrees and below. These ranges are indicative; wind, air temperature, session duration, and cold sensitivity also matter.
Start with your height and weight using the Ride Engine guide higher on this page. Then check your chest measurement. A wetsuit should fit snugly when dry; otherwise, it will let water in. Make sure there are no air pockets in your lower back, under your arms, or in the crotch. You should still be able to breathe deeply, raise your arms, and bend over. If you are between two sizes, call us.
Yes. Ride Engine classifies it for wingfoil and foil. It is also classified for Kite and Surf. Its flexibility is as important on a surfboard as it is under a harness.
Rinse it with fresh water after each session, inside and out. Focus on the zip, wrists, and seams. A neoprene cleaner eliminates odors. Dry it in the shade, inside first, laid at the waist on a wide hanger. Never hang it by the neckline. No sun, no radiator, no hot water, no washing machine. Store it completely dry, without folding it tightly. Before closing the zip, rinse off any sand. Never force it if it catches.
