The KONA 5/4mm Winter GBS Back Zip Wetsuit is designed for cold-water surfers and ocean enthusiasts who need reliable thermal protection in UK and European winter conditions. It provides exceptional warmth and flexibility through its specialized thermo-stretch lining and high-grade neoprene, though the back-zip entry requires more shoulder mobility to enter compared to front-zip alternatives.

This suit is specifically designed for cold water temperatures between 8°C and 12°C.
Rinse it with fresh water after every use and avoid forcing the zip if it encounters resistance; clear any grit immediately.
No, never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit as this will destroy the neoprene and seam integrity.
The thermo-stretch quick-dry lining is designed to wick moisture away and dry faster, making your second session of the day more comfortable.
Glued and blind-stitched (GBS) seams prevent water from leaking through the stitching holes, keeping you much warmer than flatlock seams.
Check that the internal hydro-bloc barrier is pulled up high and lying flat against your back before zipping the suit.
Rinse the zipper area thoroughly with fresh water and remove any sand particles; apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
Ensure the suit is pulled up fully into the crotch area to allow proper distribution of the neoprene through the torso.
To put the suit on, step into the legs first, pull the suit up to your waist, and then carefully work your arms in one at a time. Pull the back zip up steadily, ensuring the internal hydro-bloc barrier is flat against your skin. After every session, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water. Avoid drying the suit in direct sunlight, as UV rays break down the neoprene and accelerate degradation. When storing, use a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent shoulder stretching. Always ensure the zipper is free of sand or salt crystals to keep it sliding smoothly.
