The Circle One Faze 5/4mm winter back zip wetsuit is engineered for surfers and cold-water enthusiasts operating in coastal temperatures between 8-12°C, making it an essential choice for UK and European winter conditions. It balances affordability with high-end performance by utilizing super-stretch limestone CR neoprene, providing excellent freedom of movement and thermal retention. While it offers premium technical features, users should note that the back-zip entry system may offer slightly less water-seal efficiency compared to high-end chest-zip or zipperless alternatives.

This suit is specifically designed for water temperatures between 8-12°C.
While GBS (Glued and Blind-Stitched) seams are highly effective at preventing water entry, some minimal seepage may occur over long periods in the water.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every surf. Do not use bleach, washing machines, or tumble dryers.
No. UV rays break down neoprene quickly. Always dry and store your wetsuit in a cool, shaded place.
Keep the zip free of sand and salt. Periodically rinse with fresh water and ensure the zipper teeth are aligned when closing.
Yes, the flexibility and warmth make it suitable for bodyboarding, cold-water swimming, and other winter water activities.
Ensure the suit is pulled up fully and symmetrically before pulling the cord; verify there is no sand in the zipper track.
Check the adjustment of the collar and ensure your base layers (if any) are not creating a channel for water; consider if the size is correct for your body measurements.
To maximize the life of your wetsuit, always rinse it with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, sand, and organic residue. Hang the suit to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight which can degrade the neoprene. When storing, use a wide plastic hanger to avoid deforming the shoulder panels. Ensure the YKK zip is clear of sand or debris before zipping to prevent damage to the track. When putting on the suit, avoid using your fingernails to pull at the neoprene, as this can cause tears; instead, use the pads of your fingers.
