O'Neill Womens Bahia 2mm Front Zip Zip Spring Suit Wetsuit
- Thickness - 2mm: full coverage in 2mm, the midway mark of surfing neoprenes in Australia and the perfect mid-season thickness for most of us. In QLD you can definitely get away with 2mm in winter.
- Neoprene - O'Neill's UltraFlex: is their midrange rubber, prioritising warmth and easily one of the better performing neoprenes on the market.
- Seam/Stitch - Flatlock: I'd bet there'd be enough flatlock stitch laid in the history of wetsuits to cover the distance of here to the moon and back, and for good reason. It's extremely durable, almost 2D and is the most cost effective seam out there. But bear in mind the many pinholes created in the stitching process creates plenty of passages for cold water to enter the suit.
- Front Zip - Front Zip: the zip is positioned along the torso, this means that your back stretch is no longer inhibited and being that the zip is 1/2 or less length than a backzip, the amount of water ingress because of the zip is halved. Warm and stretchy, the two things we all want from our wetty.
- Startegic Seamless Paddle zones: seams are bad, well, less seams are good and thankfully this can be done by intuitive design and consideration of human movements.
- Single seal collar: a single collar with a tacky internal lining that sticks to the skin and mitigates cold water entry.
