C-Skins NuWave ReWired 5/4 Frontzip Hooded Wetsuit

Seriously warm hooded wetsuit for winter kiters from C-Skins

The C-Skins NuWave ReWired 5/4 Frontzip Hooded Wetsuit is designed for kiters who just keep riding through the coldest months. The 5/4mm thickness keeps you warm, but thanks to the extremely stretchy NuWave natural rubber, the suit feels nowhere near as stiff as you'd expect from a winter wetsuit. C-Skins has sharpened up this latest version on both warmth and flexibility, including the new Halo X 3D back panel.

They say the cold is all in your head, and in this case it's actually true: you lose most of your heat through your head and neck. When it's cold, your body narrows the blood vessels in your arms and legs to keep your organs warm, but it barely does that in your head. If your head is the only uncovered part, it works like a chimney that heat keeps escaping from. The hood closes that gap, so you stay on the water all day instead of taking breaks to warm up.

Inside you'll find the recycled Halo X2 lining, backed up by the new Halo X 3D back panel. That high-pile lining traps tiny air pockets and insulates clearly better than a traditional wetsuit lining. The chest gets the exclusive Dark Matter 2 panel. So serious winter warmth no longer has to come at the cost of lightweight materials or a more sustainable choice.

The minimal seam design cuts down the number of seams, which keeps cold water out and boosts the stretch. You get in through the Enigma 3 chest entry with single cinch, so you pull it on once and the suit is closed. The Iris 3 inner closure seals everything off on the inside, so very little water gets in around your neck. The frontzip also gives your shoulders more freedom than a back zip, exactly what you want when you're hanging off the bar.

Want a winter without cold fingers and toes? Pair the ReWired with the C-Session 5mm Round Toe Boots and the C-Wired+ 5mm Lobster Gloves. Together with this C-Skins NuWave ReWired 5/4 Frontzip Hooded Wetsuit, you've got a complete winter set-up and you'll never skip a session again.
