Nyord Mens Furno Warmth 4/3mm Chest Zip Wetsuit - Black - Thermal Warm Heat Layer Layers Easy Stretch

Product Information

This really delivers on that promise, rated for an hour in ‘cold' water, which Decathlon defines as 12 to 17 degrees – you'll certainly be glad of a wetsuit at the lower end of this range.

Manera’s wetsuits fit insanely well, are durable, and the X10D has super light, stretchy, and comfortable neoprene to boot. Choosing the right rubber is important, but so is treating your wetsuit well to ensure it will last you as long as possible. They’ve even come a long way in the past couple years as new technologies and stretchier, eco-friendly materials have become a priority for wetsuit manufacturers. But by far, the most important factor is the thickness of the rubber used, as this not only determines the thermal protection offered but also affects the flexibility and buoyancy of the suit. The suit is super light, so if you’re looking for a high-performance 4/3 and don’t want the extra stretch in a suit like the Quiksilver Highline, this could be a great choice.This range is lined with a fast dry jersey lining that speeds up drying time between sessions so you can get back on the water faster. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The lining was comfortable, and it’s got some rad features I’ve never seen in a wetsuit before like rib pads (which as a skinny surfer I’m stoked on) and calf holes to help water drain from the suit.

Their wetsuits are made from a combination of recycled tires, oyster shells, and limestone, with a recycled lining. It doesn’t matter if it’s the stretchiest and warmest suit in the world, if the fit isn’t right, you will not enjoy wearing it. Picture is a company dedicated to sustainability, so I was stoked to see them take a stab at neoprene, claiming to have a sustainable material that trumps regular neoprene in terms of stretch.

Also of note is the brand’s repair policy, where they’ll do what they can to keep your suit seaworthy for as long as possible.

They understand that surfing should be fun, and I see more and more of their wetsuits in the lineup all the time.

The super-stretchy limestone neoprene, combined with a plush internal lining on the chest and back, retains heat without restricting movement. While a super-snug fit is vital if your wetsuit is to do its job correctly, it can feel restrictive if the neoprene prevents natural movements.It’s a petrochemical-derived fabric, is non-biodegradable, and tons of it gets thrown away every year – Finisterre estimates around 419 tons of neoprene is dumped annually in the UK alone. It’s now more flexible, and while it isn’t “stretchy” like some suits on this list, it doesn’t feel like my performance is hindered.

That being said, while the R2 might get you through a SoCal winter, up north at Ocean Beach I would personally go for the Patagonia R3 as my winter wetsuit. Anti-slip Ankle Cuffs - Anti-slip cuffs stay put for a more comfortable fit and create a watertight seal to prevent flushing. However, if you feel the cold more than most, there are several surf brands offering 6/4mm suits these days.Sustainability: As good as it gets: Yulex rubber, recycled lining, fair trade and sustainable manufacturing. The use of recycled polyester or nylon in the lining of the suit, water-based glue (such as Aqua Alpha) for seam sealing, and dope-dyed fabric all make contributions toward minimizing the footprint of a wetsuit. When I’m surfing Pleasure Point, I tend to choose a thicker suit as I’m often waiting my turn amongst the crowd. Personally, I found the fit to be a little off, with the arms especially feeling too short for my lanky limbs, but I have a feeling that’s just me.
