Why Choose the Slant Zip?

Choose the Slant Zip if you want a compact entry system with less zipper structure across the back and shoulders. Its diagonal upper-body opening is designed to keep the suit streamlined while supporting natural shoulder movement during paddling and active water sports.

It is a strong choice for riders who prioritize flexibility and a close-fitting entry over maximum ease of changing.

Slant Zip vs Slant Zip Curve

Both systems use a diagonal upper-body entry and are designed around flexibility and a close fit. The Slant Zip uses the more compact opening for riders who prioritize a streamlined performance setup.

The Slant Zip Curve extends the zipper into a longer curved opening, creating more room to get into and out of the wetsuit. Choose the Slant Zip for the more compact entry, or the Slant Zip Curve if easier changing is your priority.

Choose Your Thickness

Choose the thickness around your water temperature, conditions and sport.

2mm — 65°F+ / 18°C+

Lightweight protection for mild to moderate water conditions, with maximum flexibility and freedom of movement.

3/2mm — 57–66°F / 14–19°C

For cooler water when you start to feel the chill, while maintaining excellent flexibility and comfort.

4/3mm — 52–59°F / 11–15°C

Our most popular all-round thickness for cold-water conditions, balancing serious warmth with flexibility and mobility.

5/4mm — 43–54°F / 6–12°C

Built for cold-water and winter sessions where greater thermal protection is needed. A strong choice for winter surfing and other water sports across the UK, Ireland, Scotland, Atlantic Canada and Northern Europe, as well as colder-water sessions in Norway and Iceland.

6/4mm Hooded — Below 48°F / 9°C

Serious winter protection for very cold water. Designed for demanding surf, wind and water-sport conditions in Norway, Iceland, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, northern Scotland and other high-latitude regions, where warmth becomes as important as performance.

6/5mm Hooded — Extreme Cold Water

Our highest level of cold-water protection, built for Arctic and near-Arctic winter conditions and extended sessions in exceptionally cold water. Ideal for destinations such as Lofoten and northern Norway, Iceland, Atlantic Canada and other extreme cold-water environments, where maximum thermal protection is the priority.

Temperature ranges are a guide. Air temperature, wind exposure, session length, activity level, sport and personal cold tolerance can affect the protection you need. In very cold water, appropriate boots, gloves and hood protection are essential.
