FAQs
What does "True Thickness" mean?
It means the neoprene is genuinely the thickness stated (5mm body / 4mm arms and legs), rather than an inflated marketing figure.
Is this a warm-water or cold-water suit?
5/4mm is a winter thickness, suited to UK cold-water sessions from autumn through to spring.
Why a back zip over a chest zip?
A back zip is generally easier to get in and out of unassisted, though a chest zip typically offers a snugger fit and less water flushing at the neck. Both are valid choices — it comes down to personal preference.
How should this wetsuit fit?
Wetsuits should fit snugly with no loose material, to minimise water flushing and keep you warm. Check C-Skins' size chart if you're between sizes.
What is Dark Matter 2?
C-Skins' liquid skin panel technology, applied to the chest here, which reduces wind chill and improves durability and board contact.
