Durable and secure with quick release buckle with latex cover so gear can be easily removed without car scratches. Glued and blind stitched seams, as well as strong taping on key areas of wear, provide a watertight and durable seal. However, if you feel the cold more than most, there are several surf brands offering 6/4mm suits these days. Also of note is the brand’s repair policy, where they’ll do what they can to keep your suit seaworthy for as long as possible. After a couple of hard years of supply chain disruptions wreaking havoc on the wetsuit supply, the time was finally right for a full-blown, no-bs, apples-to-apples wetsuit test.

Wetsuits have come a long way since they replaced the wool sweater in the 1950s and ’60s as an inventive way for surfers to keep warm in cold water. As far as other wetsuit materials go, regular neoprene is derived from crude oil, which makes it very environmentally unfriendly indeed, putting it at the bottom of the list. Inspired by the North Shore’s rich green tones, the JJF Cane Field collection is hand-crafted from M49 Italian Bio Acetate and features bronze polarised lenses.

The only downside was the confusion around the sizing, so our advice would be to use the chart, check your measurements against it but then still go up another size.

Not far above that sits limestone neoprene (also referred to as Yamamoto neoprene) which uses calcium carbonate from limestone instead of crude oil. O'Neill's Technobutter 3X branded neoprene has an amazing amount of four-way stretch that, even in the thickest varieties, enables free body movement and does not hamper paddling, pop-ups or any movements you make on the wave.
