3mm Isurus Wetsuit Guide

ISURUS 3MM WETSUITS ARE WARMER THAN YOUR AVERAGE 4mm WETSUIT

Whichever 3MM wetsuit you decide to go for, it's going to perform to an exceptional standard.

Using Yamamoto Limestone Neoprene ensures our wetsuits are warm, flexible and light so you get the warmth of a 4MM suit with the flexibility of 3MM thickness.

Our 3mm wetsuits are available in our SHIELD and EVADE collections.

The SHIELD collection features zipfree entry, 3mm thickness all over, and the option of an integrated hood.

The EVADE collection has a chest zip entry and is available in either 3mm all over or a 3.2mm mix.

Which 3mm is right for me?

We have whittled the 3mm suits down to four options, but your perfect suit will really depend on your personal preference. The question is how much do you value some additional warmth vs maximising flexibility.

Those preferring the flexibility of the Zipfree Shield design include ISURUS riders Max Beach and Dante Madrigal.

Dante values the freedom of movement that the Zipfree Shield provides, and Max opts to add a hood to provide some anti-brainfreeze protection when needed.

If hoods are not your thing, you sometimes feel the cold - but still value flexibility then the 3.2 Evade is going to be your jam. The chest zip entry is a touch warmer than the zipfree, and the mixed thickness enables plenty of movement.

If you're someone who does feel the cold, but will not be surfing somewhere below 48–58°F (9–14°C) then rest-assured that the 3.3 Evade model provides maximum warmth and flexibility.

Available combinations	Minimum temp	Max temp
3.3 ZipFree Wetsuit	48°F	58°F
3.3 Hooded ZipFree Wetsuit	46°F	56°F
3.2 Chest Entry Wetsuit	48°F	58°F
3.3 Chest Entry Wetsuit	48°F	58°F

Zipfree suits reduce shoulder load and pain

For pure freedom and flexibility, but the warmth of a 3mm wetsuit (like a normal 4mm) - Dante likes to keep it simple in the 3.3 Shield. This light and mobile suit allows him to keep paddling, so he doesn't feel the cold even on chillier days.

Max Beach gives the lowdown on why he values the integrated hood in the ISURUS 3.3 Shield ZipFree wetsuit. Whether it's the dreaded brain freeze whilst duck diving or a chilly breeze sat in the line-up, the hood can be quickly put into action!

This combination allows surfers to maintain a flexible, light and mobile suit, but ensure extra warmth when it's needed.

A ZipFree Wetsuit? How does that work?

We strongly believe that removing the zip from a wetsuit ensures a more comfortable fit and better all-round flexibility and performance.

Due to our unique pattern and choice of high-performance Yamamoto #40 Limestone Neoprene the neck openings in our ZipFree wetsuits have the flexibility to open wide, the durability not to tear, and the fabric memory to return to their original shape.

With this design and exceptional material there is simply no need for a zip, see below how easy it is to put on:

real reviews from real surfers

Sure, professional surfers love our wetsuits, but what about general customers? We'll let them speak for themselves:

How we build the best wetsuits in the business:

Year of innovation, experience and a few mishaps have resulted in a wetsuit that is beyond compare in terms of comfort and performance. It's an industry secret, but a lot of surfers sponsored by mass-produced brands wear ISURUS wetsuits when they can!

These are some of the magic ingredients that go into our wetsuits:

Air bubbles

Limestone Neoprene from Yamamoto contains a much higher percentage of air content than regular Neoprene. This makes it superior in every way: More flexible, lighter, more durable, and warmer.

Arms Up Design

Regular wetsuits are designed in the resting position, but ISURUS wetsuits use a fabric "pattern" primed for action. With the cut optimised for “arms up” position, our wetsuits are far more comfortable when you paddle (i.e. all the time!).

Compression

Compression garments improve blood flow and aid recovery. Professional athletes in all sports use them at an elite level for maximum performance. It is long overdue for surfing, and we are leading the charge!
