      We want you to surf longer, and our women's steamers are made for this. Steamers are long-arm, long-leg wetsuits that keep you surfing through cooler temperatures. We stock Rip Curl, O'Neill, and Billabong, which are designed for premium durability, flexibility, and comfort. Our range includes summer 3/2mm and winter 4/3mm wetsuits.

      HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR WETSUIT

      What Thickness?
      Wetsuits come in different thicknesses and are measured in millimetres. Our Steamer Wetsuits are 4/3mm or 3/2mm. In a 4/3, 4 refers to the thickness of the chest/core, and 3 is the thickness of the arms and legs. Our Spring Suits are 1.5mm or 2mm, and this is the thickness of the neoprene all over.
      Depending on when and where you want to use your wetsuit, will determine which wetsuit you need. Look at where you love to surf and check the water temperature!
      As a guide:
      11-14°C- 4/3mm Steamer
      13-18°C - 3/2mm Steamer
      17-21°C - 2mm Spring Suit

      What Size?
      All brands vary slightly in fit, but a good place to start is our Wetsuit Guide Charts. The right size wetsuit should fit snugly but not restrict your range of motion. One of the most important areas to look at is the fit between the top of the neck and the crutch. It should feel firm but not like it's pulling your body down. The suit should not be baggy anywhere, as it will allow water to run through it.

      Which Seams?
      It sounds confusing, but our Wetsuits have three seams: Flatlocked, Glued & Blindstitched (GBS) and Taped. Flatlock does not offer a full seal; water will still enter your wetsuit. Generally, entry-level wetsuits have flatlock seams. Glued & Blindstitched are the most common of seams. This seam is exceptionally stretchy, and this wetsuit is generally in the mid-price range. No pin holes and glue on the non-stitched side of the seam results in little water entering the suit. The rolls royce of seams is Taped which is an extension of GBS seams with taping running along the seam. Result - a durable seam in our high-end wetsuits that lets no water in!
