Benefits of Front Zip Wetsuits
The front zip wetsuit presents several key advantages. Firstly, it provides increased comfort thanks to its less restrictive design. Unlike back zip wetsuits, many front zip variants halt at the sternum. This means there's significantly less neoprene material around your neck, reducing the chances of feeling restricted or uncomfortable in this area.
Secondly, front zip wetsuits are renowned for their convenience. With fewer individual neoprene panels sewn together, you get enhanced flexibility, particularly around your shoulders and back. This advantage ensures you don't tire or overheat while preparing for your dive. Furthermore, the front zipper design eliminates the need for assistance – you can comfortably handle the zip yourself, providing a seamless transition into your diving adventure.
The new high-performance W8 Front-Zip Wetsuit, a new addition to our Waterproof range, is crafted with the same impeccable design and fit as our popular W7 model but with a convenient front zip. Made from incredibly soft, flexible, and comfortable four-way super-stretch Neoflex, this suit is designed for the diver who refuses to compromise on performance or comfort.

Waterproof W8 front zip microcell wetsuit material
The Waterproof W8 Front-Zip Wetsuit is made from Neoflex super-stretch, a 100% microcell limestone CR neoprene. This material selection may be more expensive, but in the realm of diving suits, it represents the apex of quality and durability. The Neoflex super-stretch neoprene boasts superior durability and memory, retaining its shape and fit even after extensive use. Moreover, its insulation properties exceed those of other neoprene grades, offering excellent warmth, which is crucial for comfort and safety during prolonged dives. By using this top-tier material, the Waterproof W8 Front-Zip Wetsuit ensures an unparalleled diving experience every single time.
Waterproof W8 anatomical cut
The Waterproof W8 Front-Zip Wetsuit champions an anatomical fit with a 3D sculpted design. This unique fit allows for maximum mobility and comfort during your diving activities. All critical areas pertaining to movement, including the arms and legs, are pre-bent and specifically engineered to enhance the freedom of movement. The design of the suit follows the natural contours of the body, eliminating unnecessary resistance and reducing fatigue. This means you can dive longer and explore more, unhindered by the limitations of cheap suits.
Recognising the distinct needs of different divers, the Waterproof W8 Front-Zip Wetsuit comes in gender-specific models for both men and women, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. Tailored to cater to the specific gender morphologies and comfort requirements of each gender, these models offer an enhanced diving experience. For female divers, in particular, the W8 wetsuit features gender-specific styling. This thoughtful design provides comfortable lift and support, enhancing comfort throughout the dive.
