Full details

The Circle One Surf KONA 5/4mm Winter GBS Back Zip Wetsuit is designed for cold-water surfers who prioritize thermal performance and ease of entry in temperatures ranging from 8° to 12°C. Crafted from premium limestone CR stretch neoprene with a quick-dry lining, it offers significant core warmth and flexibility, though its back-zip design may be less restrictive than chest-zip alternatives for some users.

FAQs

What temperature range is this suit designed for?

This suit is optimized for winter coastal temperatures of 8° to 12°C.

Is this a back-zip or chest-zip entry?

This is a back-zip entry system, which is generally easier to get in and out of.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The KONA uses an anatomical tailored panel fit; choose the size that aligns with your chest and height measurements for optimal performance.

Does it have taped seams?

Yes, the suit features 100% glued and blind-stitched seams with additional internal taping for maximum durability and water resistance.

Can I dry this in the sun?

No, direct sunlight will cause the neoprene to harden and crack over time. Always dry in the shade.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing down the back

Ensure the internal Hydro-Bloc barrier is pulled up high and laying flat against your skin before zipping the suit closed.

Stiff or difficult zipper

Check for sand or grit in the zipper tracks; rinse with fresh water and use a specialized wetsuit zipper lubricant if necessary.

Soreness at the neck/collar

Ensure the glide-skin collar is positioned correctly and not folded over; apply a small amount of anti-chafe balm if sensitive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal regulation for 8°-12°C waters
  • Easy back-zip entry is more accessible than chest-zip models
  • Quick-dry lining reduces chill between sessions
  • Internal taping increases seam longevity
  • High-stretch neoprene allows for unrestricted paddling

Cons

  • Back-zip entry is slightly less watertight than a full chest-zip suit
  • Requires proper care to maintain the neoprene's elasticity
  • Specific sizing is essential for the Hydro-Bloc system to function correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your KONA wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every surf to remove salt and debris. Dry the suit inside-out in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight which degrades neoprene. When storing, use a wide plastic hanger to prevent shoulder stretching. For the best fit, ensure the Ultra-Seal cuffs are smoothed flat against your skin, and check that the Hydro-Bloc barrier is laying flat against your back before closing the outer zip.
