The Alder Impact Women's 3/2mm Back Zip Blue Full Length Wetsuit (Size 12) is designed for female surfers and watersports enthusiasts seeking an affordable blend of performance and comfort. Its key benefit is providing warmth and flexibility for UK water temperatures from late spring through early autumn. A potential caveat is that for colder conditions, a thicker wetsuit and accessories may be necessary. This wetsuit features specialized neoprene for movement and durability, easy entry, and features to minimize chafing and flushing.

This 3/2mm wetsuit is best suited for UK water temperatures typically ranging from 14°C to 20°C (57°F to 68°F), usually from late spring through early autumn.
Unzip the back, slide your legs in, then your arms. Ensure the suit is snug and flat against your skin, then close the back zip. A proper fit is key to its insulating properties.
No, a 3/2mm wetsuit is generally not sufficient for UK winter water temperatures, which can drop significantly. For winter, a thicker wetsuit (5mm or more) along with accessories like boots, gloves, and a hood is recommended.
Always rinse with fresh, cool water after use. Hang to dry away from direct sunlight, and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
It indicates the neoprene thickness: 3mm in the torso for core warmth and 2mm in the limbs (arms and legs) for flexibility and ease of movement.
Yes, the Alder Impact wetsuit is designed to be affordable and comfortable, making it a great option for beginners in watersports like surfing and paddleboarding.
It is ideal for surfing, open water swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and other general watersports in temperate conditions.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. A wetsuit should be snug, but not restrict breathing or circulation. Try moving around in the suit to identify specific areas of restriction. If it's generally too small, consider exchanging for a larger size.
Ensure the smooth skin neck seal is properly positioned against your skin. Check that the back zip is fully closed. For very cold conditions or rough water, consider adding a separate neck seal or hood.
The flatlock seams are designed to minimize chafing. Ensure the suit fits correctly, as movement within the suit can sometimes cause friction. If chafing persists, consider wearing a rash vest underneath.
The 3/2mm thickness is suitable for moderate temperatures. For colder water, a thicker wetsuit (e.g., 5/4mm or 6/5mm) is recommended. Ensure the suit fits snugly to trap a thin layer of water that warms from your body heat.
