Product Information

Full details

The Circle One Surf Faze 5/4mm Winter Wetsuit is designed for cold-water enthusiasts surfing in temperatures between 8° and 12°C. It offers an excellent balance of affordability and technical performance, featuring flexible neoprene and thermal lining to keep you comfortable during long sessions. While it provides robust protection, users should note that the back-zip entry system may be slightly less insulated than high-end chest-zip alternatives in extremely frigid conditions.

FAQs

What temperature range is this suit for?

The Faze 5/4mm is optimized for coastal water temperatures of 8° to 12°C.

Does this suit come with a back zip?

Yes, it features a durable, high-quality YKK back zip with a reliable pull cord for easy entry.

How do I ensure the right fit for size 18?

The suit is designed with an anatomical tailored fit. Consult the size guide to ensure your measurements align with the UK 18 specification.

Can I use this suit in the summer?

Because it is a 5/4mm thickness, it will likely be too warm for summer conditions. It is specifically built for winter thermal insulation.

How do I repair minor tears in the neoprene?

Small tears can be repaired using a dedicated neoprene adhesive (seam sealer). For larger tears or seam issues, consult a professional wetsuit repair service.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing into the neck area

Check the lycra-bound collar for proper fit; ensure the inner flap is lying flat before zipping up.

Stiff zipper mechanism

Ensure there is no sand or salt buildup in the teeth. Rinse with fresh water and apply a dedicated wetsuit zipper lubricant if necessary.

Difficulty putting on the suit

Use the 'plastic bag' trick on your feet and hands to help them glide through the leg and arm openings more easily.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent value-to-performance ratio for winter surfing
  • Highly flexible materials allow for natural paddle strokes
  • Reinforced seam construction ensures high durability
  • Hydrophobic panels effectively reduce wind-chill
  • Anatomical fit designed for comfort

Cons

  • Back-zip entry may be harder to put on for some users
  • Not suitable for extreme deep-winter temperatures below 8°C
  • Less streamlined profile compared to chest-zip designs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Circle One Faze wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every surf to remove salt, sand, and organic debris. Avoid using hot water or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the neoprene and weaken the adhesive in the seams. When drying, always hang the suit on a thick plastic hanger in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, which can crack and fade the neoprene. Always pull the zipper slowly to avoid catching the inner flap, and store the suit flat or on a wide hanger to avoid permanent creases in the neoprene panels.
