ISURUS has pioneered the development of Zipfree wetsuits.
The advantages of removing the zip entry include more flexibility, a lighter wetsuit, and reduced shoulder load. Constructed from 3mm thick Yamamoto Limestone Neoprene, this suit maintains exceptional thermal properties, while ensuring you have maximum mobility.
The ISURUS SHIELD series offers you two choices of wetsuit design - Hooded or Un-Hooded. Below, two of our team riders review their preferred design - Max valuing the hood, and Dante liking the simplicity of the Un-Hooded version. Time to pick your Shield!
The ultimate combination of warmth and flexibility. If you surf conditions when the water or air gets frosty, then this integrated hood provides all the warmth you'll need for duck dives or sitting between sets.
If hoods are not your thing, but you want a wetsuit with the warmth of a 4mm that's super-flexible then this is the zipfree wetsuit for you.
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.
SHOP HOODED 3.3For 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.
Shop hoodless 3.3Removing the zip from a wetsuit creates a more comfortable fit and better all-round flexibility and performance.
Due to our unique patterning, 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 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:
Sure, professional surfers love our wetsuits, but what about non-sponsored surfers? We'll let them speak for themselves.
Years 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:
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.
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 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!
