The Billabong Women's 3/2mm Synergy Back Zip Flatlock Steamer is a high-performance wetsuit designed for surfers who prioritise value, ease of entry, and thermal efficiency. Positioned in Billabong's premium Synergy collection, this steamer uses advanced materials to provide warmth usually reserved for more expensive suits.
Key Technical Features
-
Graphene Recycler Plus: The interior front and back panels are lined with Graphene-infused yarns. These yarns warm up faster and retain heat longer than traditional linings, significantly extending your time in the water.
-
Superlight Foam Neoprene: Crafted from a lightweight, high-stretch foam made partially from upcycled car tyres and neoprene scraps. It offers excellent thermal retention with 280% stretch for unrestricted paddling.
-
Flatlock Stitch Construction: The seams are flatlock stitched for maximum comfort and durability. This style of seam is breathable and lays flat against the skin to prevent chafing during long sessions.
-
Silicon Stretch Interior: Silicon stretch panels in the arms and legs provide a soft feel against the skin and make the suit significantly easier to slide on and off.
-
Classic Back Zip Entry: Features a heavy-duty back zipper that opens wide, offering the easiest entry system for surfers who prefer a simple, accessible way to suit up.
