Bahia 2/1mm Back-Zip Long-Sleeve Springsuit - Women's

UltraFlex Neoprene is a high-quality synthetic rubber known for its exceptional flexibility and comfort. This material is designed to stretch easily, allowing for greater freedom of movement while surfing or engaging in water sports. The added lightweight nature of UltraFlex Neoprene helps keep you agile in the water while providing insulation to keep your body warm in colder conditions.

GBS, or Glued and Blind Stitched seams, are a specialized construction method that prevents water from seeping through the seams of your wetsuit. By gluing the seams and stitching them in a way that doesn’t penetrate all the way through the material, GBS seams create a watertight barrier. This means you stay warmer and more comfortable during your water activities, as less cold water enters the suit.

A back-zip entryway features a zipper located at the back of the wetsuit, making it easy to put on and take off. This design provides a snug fit while allowing for convenient access, which is especially helpful when you're in a hurry to get in the water. The back-zip style is popular among surfers and divers for its balance of comfort and practicality.

A springsuit is a type of wetsuit that is shorter in length, covering the torso and arms while leaving the legs exposed or partially covered. It is designed for warmer water temperatures, making it ideal for activities like surfing in mild conditions. If you’re planning to surf in warmer weather or during the summer months, a springsuit is a great choice for comfort and mobility.

The 2/1mm thickness refers to the varying thickness of the neoprene used in the wetsuit. In this case, the torso is 2 millimeters thick for better insulation, while the arms and legs are 1 millimeter thick for increased flexibility. This combination allows you to stay warm in cooler water while still enjoying a full range of motion, making it perfect for active water sports.

The thickness of the neoprene directly impacts your comfort level in varying water temperatures. Thicker neoprene (like 2mm) provides more insulation, making it suitable for cooler waters, while thinner neoprene (like 1mm) allows for better flexibility and is ideal for warmer conditions. Choosing the right thickness ensures you stay comfortable and can perform your best, whether you're surfing in chilly waves or enjoying a sunny beach day.
