C-Skins NuWave ReWired 5/4 Frontzip Wetsuit

Warm and flexible winter wetsuit from C-Skins

Eight degree water, onshore wind and you're still out there. The C-Skins NuWave ReWired 5/4 Frontzip Wetsuit is made for exactly that: a winter wetsuit that doesn't have you eyeing the beach after twenty minutes. C-Skins made this new version warmer and stretchier than its predecessor, without making the suit feel any heavier.

In winter, it's all about staying warm without fighting your own wetsuit. The inside lining, Halo X2 with the new Halo X 3D back panel, is high-pile and traps tiny air pockets. That air forms an insulating layer between you and the cold, so you stay noticeably warmer for longer than in a suit with a smooth lining. You won't feel the difference in the first minute, but you will in the last hour of your session.

The neoprene itself is NuWave natural rubber, and that's where the ReWired stands out. It stretches incredibly far, so your shoulders rotate freely when you pull the bar in and you don't get stuck when you crouch down to grab your kiteboard. A thick wetsuit that works against your movements costs energy, and energy is heat. The more flexible your suit, the longer you stay fresh.

Up front you'll find the Dark Matter 2 panel, and you get in through the Enigma 3 frontzip with single cinch. Pull it on once and it's closed. Thanks to the minimal seam design, the suit has fewer seams. That means fewer spots where cold water can seep in and fewer spots that limit your freedom of movement. The frontzip also keeps your back and shoulders free, something you always give up a little with a back zip.

Looking for a wetsuit that gets you through the whole winter and that you still love in March? Then the C-Skins NuWave ReWired 5/4 Frontzip is a serious contender. Warm, light and flexible. Built to last for years. Pair it with good boots and gloves and the cold is no longer your excuse.
