Billabong Womens Synergy 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit

Billabong Womens Synergy 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit is a top-tier performance surfing suit that boasts sealed seams, back zip and their premium neoprenes. We love that the external jersey is made with up-cycled car tyres.

The core foam (the rubber bit) touts 300% elongation without deformation, one of the highest factors in the wetsuit game. This is limited only by the internal Furnace Carbon lining, which is about 250% and although it has a minor effect on the stretch, the lining itself is said to increase the overall warmth. This warmth comes from small bubbles being held in the lining itself, all the while it’s channeling water out of the suit thanks to its hydrophobicity.

Billabong Women’s 302 Synergy Back Zip GBS Steamer Wetsuit is suitable for winter across most of Australia’s east coast and can even easily handle Victorian conditions, but we dare say would require gloves, boot, and hood!

Billabong Womens Synergy 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer Features:

• Chest Zip Entry: A no-brainer for any performance wetsuit as it’s warmer and dryer but drastically increases the entire suit’s stretch factor.
• Variable thicknesses: The wetsuit is constructed using 2mm thickness in the high-stress areas (such as the armpit area) and thicker 3mm neoprene in exposed areas such as the large front and back panels.
• 100 % Recycled PRO STRETCH exterior: Promotes sustainability by reducing plastic microfiber pollution and accumulation in a landfill.
• Intrerior Fabric Type: Graphene combined with Silicon Stretch
• Smart Foam: What Smart Foam provides is 300% elongation, so 1m can stretch to 3m without permanent deformation. Mondo stretch!!The inner layer of a neoprene sandwich is a closed-cell foam, unlike a sponge, which is open cell foam (you won’t find that in any wetsuit, as much as some new-wave competitors falsely suggest).
• Thickness: 3/2mm
• Exterior Seam Detail: GBS
• FABRIC CONTENT: 80% Neoprene, 10% Nylon, 10% Polyester
