Product Information

Full details

The O'Brien Elite 3/2mm Back Zip Wetsuit is designed for female water sports enthusiasts, such as surfers and paddleboarders, who require a balance of warmth and mobility. This suit excels by providing an ultra-flexible range of motion while maintaining essential core heat; however, users should note that the back-zip entry system may be slightly more challenging to put on independently compared to chest-zip alternatives.

FAQs

How do I determine my correct size?

This model uses standard UK women's dress sizing. Refer to the specific size (UK 10) to match your measurements.

Is this suit suitable for winter?

The 3/2mm thickness is ideal for mild to cool conditions; however, for extremely cold winter waters, you may require a thicker suit or additional thermal layers.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No. Never machine wash or dry clean your wetsuit, as this will destroy the neoprene material.

Why is the back zipper better than a front zipper?

Back zippers typically provide a wider entry point, making it easier to get in and out of the suit once you are accustomed to the motion.

How should I store the suit for the off-season?

Store it lying flat or on a thick, specialized wetsuit hanger in a cool, dark closet to prevent creasing and material oxidation.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping up the back

Ensure the internal flap is flat against your back before pulling the zipper up. Using the attached leash cord, pull at a 45-degree angle rather than straight up.

Water flushing into the suit

Check that the neck seal is tight and the back flap is correctly positioned. Ensure you have the correct size for your frame to prevent loose areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent flexibility for unhindered movement
  • Thermal lining provides significant warmth in cooler waters
  • Durable construction with high-quality YKK hardware
  • Reinforced knees protect against board impact
  • Streamlined fit reduces water drag

Cons

  • Back-zip entry can be harder to reach than front-zip styles
  • Close fit requires careful sizing to ensure comfort
  • Best suited for specific temperature ranges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit, rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use to remove salt and debris. Always hang the suit to dry on a wide, plastic hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight which can degrade the neoprene over time. When putting the suit on, avoid using your fingernails to pull at the material to prevent tears. Check the YKK zipper periodically for any sand accumulation and rinse it thoroughly if the sliding mechanism feels gritty.
