Full Body Protection Without Sacrificing Flexibility

A womens long sleeve surf suit or mens fullsuit covers you from wrists to ankles, blocking wind chill and keeping body heat locked in during longer sessions. Modern long sleeve neoprene technology means full coverage no longer comes at the cost of mobility. The O'Neill Hyperfreak uses ultra stretch neoprene that moves with your body, while Rip Curl's E7 grade material in the E-Bomb delivers the highest stretch in their lineup.

Swiss lakes can drop below 15°C by late September, and an early spring session in April often means water around 10°C to 14°C. A 4/3mm or 5/4mm long sleeve surf suit handles these conditions without restricting your riding. For summer sessions between 16°C and 20°C, a 3/2mm fullsuit gives enough warmth while keeping weight and bulk low.

The difference between a long wetsuit and a short suit comes down to season and temperature. Once conditions drop below 18°C, a full suit is the safer choice for sessions lasting more than 30 minutes. The investment pays off across spring, autumn and early winter, giving you 3 extra months on the water compared to riding in a shorty alone.

Sealed Cuffs and Thermo Lining for Maximum Heat Retention

Sealed cuffs at the wrists and ankles are one of the biggest performance features in a quality long sleeve wetsuit. They prevent cold water from flushing into the suit during wipeouts and deep water starts behind the boat. O'Neill uses sealed and welded cuffs across their Epic and Hyperfreak lines, while Rip Curl integrates them from the Dawn Patrol upward.

Thermo lining is where the real warmth comes from. Rip Curl's E5 Flash Lining dries fast and retains heat, while the E6 Flash Lining in the Flashbomb series adds even more stretch and insulation. The E-Bomb takes it further with E6 and E7 Thermo Lining neoprene that keeps you warm without adding bulk. Mesh skin panels on the chest absorb solar heat and reduce wind chill between sets.

Critical stress point taping reinforces the seams at high movement zones like shoulders, underarms and knees. This extends the lifespan of your long sleeve neoprene investment and keeps the suit watertight after hundreds of sessions. An external key pocket on most Rip Curl models adds convenience, so you do not need to leave valuables unattended at the shore.

Chest Zip, Back Zip and Zip Free for Your Long Wetsuit

Back zip long wetsuits are the easiest to get in and out of, making them ideal for beginners and riders who value quick changes. The O'Neill Reactor 2 and Rip Curl Omega both use back zip construction, keeping entry simple while still providing solid water sealing. This is the most popular zip system for riders looking for their first long wetsuit at a fair price.

Chest zip models from the O'Neill Epic and Hyperfreak, Rip Curl Dawn Patrol and Flashbomb offer a tighter seal across the back panel. Less water entry means more warmth, especially on colder days below 15°C. The Rip Curl Dawn Patrol 4/3 Chest Zip at CHF 239 hits the sweet spot between performance and price for riders stepping up from a back zip long wetsuit.

Zip free construction from Rip Curl's E-Bomb and Flashbomb Search lines removes the zipper entirely for maximum stretch and the best water seal in the lineup. The Follow P1 Steamer uses a chest zip built specifically for wakeboard riders. All long wetsuits at Wakefactory ship free across Switzerland with secure checkout and easy returns. Throw a poncho over your suit between sets and stay warm from the water to the car.
