The Easiest Way In A Proven Way to Ride

The traditional rear entry system remains popular for a simple reason it makes getting into and out of a wetsuit exceptionally straightforward

The long rear zipper creates a generous opening through the upper body, reducing the squeezing, pulling and shoulder movement required by more compact performance entries

You still get the same premium Ocean Tailored materials and construction the entry is simply designed around making changing as easy as possible

Best for: Easy changing, first-time wetsuit buyers, riders who prefer a straightforward entry and people with shoulder injuries or limited shoulder movement who find other entries difficult to wear

Compared with: Easier to get into than any of our other systems but if colder-water sealing and lower flushing matter more look toward Back Zip Pro, Long Chest Zip or Flex U-Zip

Easy In Secure in the Water

Open the straight front zipper and the wetsuit gives you plenty of room to step in and pull it naturally into position almost like putting on a jumpsuit

Once closed the fitted front entry sits neatly around the upper body to help control unwanted flushing while keeping the centre of the back free from a long zipper

It's one of the most straightforward entries in the range

Best for: Riders who want easy changing, a clean back and a simple front-entry design

Compared with: Not quite as effortless as Classic Back Zip but easier than the more compact performance entries Flex U-Zip takes things further toward very low flushing and cold-water performance

Generous When Open Secure When Closed

The large U-shaped zipper opens a generous section of the upper body giving you considerably more room while getting into and out of the wetsuit

Once closed from above the entry becomes secure and very low flushing

An exceptionally thin internal neoprene panel keeps unnecessary material away from the shoulders helping them stay light and free through paddling, reaching and repeated movement

Best for: Easy access, very low flushing, shoulder freedom and thicker cold-water wetsuits

Compared with: Similar sealing idea to Long Chest Zip but the larger U-shaped opening gives you more room when getting in and out especially when the neoprene gets thicker

Slant Zip Performance With More Room

Slant Zip Curve takes the traditional diagonal chest entry and gives it a longer curved zipper across the upper body

The extra length creates more usable opening space while the flexible curved zipper follows the upper body and sits naturally across the chest once closed

You keep the secure low-flushing character of Slant Zip while making getting in and out noticeably easier

Best for: Riders who want Slant Zip performance with easier changing particularly in thicker wetsuits

Compared with: Slant Zip is the compact original while Slant Zip Curve gives you more room when open and an easier way in and out while sitting naturally across the chest once closed

Zipless Freedom Without the Traditional Zipless Struggle

Comp Zipless+ keeps conventional zipper hardware away from the upper body but gives you a much larger opening than a traditional zipless wetsuit

The upper section opens generously so you can step in and pull the suit into position almost like a jumpsuit then closes using an adjustable Velcro system

You get the shoulder freedom of a zipless wetsuit without having to squeeze yourself through a small traditional zipless opening and the larger opening also makes it practical in thicker wetsuits

One thing worth knowing if you have long hair Velcro can catch it while you're changing so just keep your hair clear when opening and closing the entry

Best for: Zipless shoulder freedom, easier changing and riders who want a zipless option across a wider range of thicknesses

Compared with: Considerably easier to get into than Comp Zipless Choose traditional Comp Zipless when minimum hardware and the purest lightweight zipless feel matter most
