The 4.3 winter women's wetsuit from the Isurus Ember cold water wetsuits range.
Tested in the harshest waters off Mavericks. The women’s Ember 4.3 wetsuit shares the same high quality Yamamoto neoprene and zirconium fleece lining for maximum warmth. The suit is fully taped to prevent pinholes leaks of frigid water. It is a compression wetsuit designed to increase blood flow to your muscles for more oxygen and warmth.
The wetsuit uses a strategic combination of Yamamoto #40 and #39. #40 Yamamoto is used in the upper chest / arms / shoulder area to improve ease of paddling (#40 is 25% stretchier than #39). Yamamoto rubber, only absorbs 2% of its weight in water.
So you don’t waste precious body heat warming a cold water-logged wetsuit. It dries faster. Less water to dry out. No short cuts in material or craftmanship was taken in the design of the Ember 4.3 Women’s wetsuit. It is every bit as good as any other Isurus wetsuit.
The main ingredient is Japanese limestone, which is advantageous in environmental and quality aspects.
Oxidation-resistant plant oil is friendly to people and the Earth. It makes rubber soft and flexible.

I've been fortunate enough to have used a lot of wetsuits. Beginning with the O'neill beavertail through the stiff fullsuits of the late 20th century, up to the present time. Many suits have their gimmicks: quick dry, neck gators, tight wrist and ankle cuffs, but they're still the same ill-fitting, moderately flexible suit.
Then a quantum leap occurred.
Isurus created a surgical glove
It's also exceptionally warm, with the flexibility in the shoulder and hips where it's needed.
As the Orthopedic Surgeon for the ASP/WSL for the last 25 years, I've seen a multitude of injuries from tight, poor fitting suits. The cut and stitch pattern is superb to allow exceptional flexibility through the shoulders. This decreases the risk of impingement syndrome and rotator cuff damage. The zipper less entry and exit is also very flexible around the shoulder which also decreases the risk of rotator cuff or labral damage.
I have also experienced myself the low back stiffness that occurs with a poorly fit wetsuit that allows low back chill. Even though the Shield is only a 2/2, the stitch and paneling is done to maximize fit with optimal warmth to the low back area.
Spend a little bit more on this fabulous suit rather than in my office with your shoulder pain. Buying quality never goes out of style. I rarely give testimonials, but I believe in Isurus wetsuits.
I don’t do surgery in garden gloves.
You shouldn’t surf in a suboptimal wetsuit
At Isurus, our passion is to build world-class wetsuits that stand up to the harshest conditions the ocean might offer.
Living and surfing in and along the California coast, a frequent topic of conversation was just how much wetsuit innovation had stagnated and quality had deteriorated. It is about designing a wetsuit that improves surfer performance. Click for more about Isurus wetsuits.
