Key features
What makes it work.
Xtend Flex Material
Xtend material provides high stretch through key areas to support unrestricted paddling and movement.
Seamless Paddle Zones
Seamless paddle zones reduce stitching through high-movement areas to help minimise restriction and chafing while paddling.
Super Seal Glideskin Collar
A smooth Glideskin collar creates a close, comfortable seal around the neck to help reduce flushing.
Wind-Resistant Panels
Smooth outer panels help reduce wind chill across exposed areas, adding comfort between sets and in cooler conditions.
Free Flex Material
Free Flex construction balances flexibility and durability for comfortable movement through the water.
Breathable Flatlock Seams
Flatlock stitching creates a flexible, breathable seam construction suited to comfortable warmer-water use.
Fit & sizing
Find your right fit.
Check the fit notes, size guide or dimensions before ordering. Sizing can vary by brand, style and intended use.
