C-Skins NuWave Men's Session 4:3 Men's Chest Zip Steamer

FAQ

What is the C-Skins NuWave Session 4:3 Steamer designed for?

The NuWave Session 4:3 Chest Zip Steamer is a men's year-round suit for the cooler seasons in the North and Baltic Seas, as well as for surf trips in temperate to cooler waters. The 4:3 mm material thickness keeps you reliably warm without restricting movement.

Is the suit really neoprene-free?

Yes. The NuWave series by C-Skins is produced 100% neoprene-free: 85% super-elastic Hevea natural rubber and 15% chlorine-free synthetic rubber. This gives you the flexibility and insulation of a classic wetsuit with a significantly lower environmental impact.

What does 4:3 mean on a wetsuit?

The 4:3 designation refers to the material thickness in millimeters: 4 mm in the torso and leg area and 3 mm on the arms and shoulders. This combination optimally insulates the body core while ensuring sufficient freedom of movement when paddling.

How does the Chest Zip closure work?

The Freedom Chest Zip with a simple cinch sits across the chest, opens wide, and thus makes getting in and out easier. The shorter zipper track lets in less water, which further improves the thermal insulation.

What seams and seals does the NuWave Session have?

The suit is completely glued and blind-stitched (GBS), with critical seams additionally reinforced. The Super Seal Glideskin collar seals reliably around the neck, and the Xtend Insulation in the crotch and knees keeps these sensitive areas warm.

How do I properly care for the C-Skins NuWave?

Rinse the suit with fresh water after every session, let it dry in the shade, and avoid direct sunlight and heat. The inner lining and seams are laminated with a solvent-free, water-based Aqua-Alpha adhesive – harsh cleaners or machine washing can damage these materials.

In which sizes is the NuWave Session 4:3 available?

The men's steamer is available in several sizes, including classic cuts such as S, M, L, XL, and XXL, as well as Tall variants (MT, LT) for taller surfers. This way, you can find the right fit for your height and build.

For what purpose is the suit particularly suitable?

The NuWave Session 4:3 is designed for sessions in cooler water temperatures – ideal for surfing in the North and Baltic Seas during the cooler half of the year, as well as for classic European surf destinations in spring, autumn, and winter.
