C-Skins Surflite 5:4:3 Women's GBS Back Zip Steamer

FAQ

What water temperatures is the C-Skins Surflite 5:4:3 Womens Steamer suitable for?

The Surflite 5:4:3 is a classic winter steamer with strategically placed neoprene thicknesses (5 mm on the torso, 4 mm on the arms and legs, 3 mm in particularly mobile areas) and is ideal for cold water in the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and in autumn or winter.

What does GBS mean on this wetsuit?

GBS stands for Glued and Blindstitched. The seams are glued and then blind-stitched, so the needle does not completely pierce the inner lining. This significantly reduces water penetration and keeps the suit warm for longer.

How thick is the neoprene on the Surflite Womens exactly?

The suit uses C-Skins True Thickness, which indicates the actual material thickness. It is distributed as 5 mm on the torso, 4 mm on the limbs, and 3 mm in flexible zones, ensuring a good compromise between warmth and mobility.

What advantages does the Back Zip entry offer?

The back zipper opens wide and makes getting on and off at the beach noticeably easier, especially when the suit is cold and the material is less pliable. Many beginners cope better with a Back Zip than with a Chest Zip.

What comfort features does the Surflite Womens have?

The features include Xtend neoprene in the upper body for more flexibility, Free Flex neoprene in the lower body, Dura Flex knee pads for robust protection, a Super Seal Glideskin collar to reduce water entry, seamless paddle zones, and a small key pocket.

In which sizes is the C-Skins Surflite 5:4:3 Womens available?

The women's steamer is available in eight sizes from UK 4 / 34 to UK 18 / 48. This makes it possible to find the right size for different body shapes.

What activities is the Surflite Womens designed for?

The suit is designed for surfing, kitesurfing, wing foiling, and SUP in cool conditions. The seamless paddle zones and the flexible upper body material support endurance paddling and repeated movements on the fin.

How do you properly care for the Surflite?

Rinse the suit with clear fresh water after every session, let it dry in the shade, and avoid direct sunlight for extended periods. Store it flat or on a wide hanger so that the neoprene does not crease or deform.
