Product Details
The Billabong Mens 202 Revolution Chest Zip Short Sleeve Wetsuit Steamer is a great suit that will have you covered in the cooler seasons! This suit is a blast from the past incorporated with modern wetsuit technology. Whilst keeping Billabong's core lines, the Revolution Series utilizes premium wetsuit innovations as well as using eco-materials, creating a wetsuit that delivers both maximum performance and that classic signature style.
This Revolution steamer is lined at the front and back panels with incredibly lightweight and strong graphene-infused yarns, these are now infused with 100% recycled fibres. The short sleeves allow you to stay warm when it's cold as well as keep you cool when it's warm. It is the perfect in-betweener, whilst not taking away any maneuverability and keeping you super flexible in the water.
This suit uses the eco-conscious superlight foam that is made from upcycled car tires. That superlight foam is topped with a Superflex recycler jersey, which offers a lightweight feel and superior heat. This suit features a chest zip entry, which allows for fewer water flushes that you'd get in a typical back zip suit. It has GBS sealed outer seams so you know it'll last the test of time. If you're looking for a classic, hard-performing suit that has the technology to back it up, the Billabong 202 Revolution Chest Zip Short Sleeve Wetsuit Steamer is the perfect choice for you.
To keep your Billabong 202 Revolution Chest Zip Short Sleeve Wetsuit Steamer in tip-top condition, we recommend using our Wetsuit Wash and having a read of our Wetsuit Maintenance blog.
Billabong Mens 202 Revolution Chest Zip Short Sleeve Wetsuit Steamer Features:
- Smart Foam: What Smart Foam provides is 300% elongation, so 1m can stretch to 3m without permanent deformation. Mondo stretch!! The inner layer of a neoprene sandwich is a closed-cell foam, unlike a sponge, which is open cell foam (you won't find that in any wetsuit, as much as some new-wave competitors falsely suggest). Learn more about neoprene
- Comp-Dry Chest Entry: new semi dry zip with internal gusset/membrane stops water. Learn more on our blog
-
Graphene + Lining: Billabong's premium internal lining is laid around your core made from carbon graphene, featured all the way up to their $600+ wetsuits. Furnace lining is hydrophobic and is stitched in a way that creates countless air-bubbles in the lining, in-turn improving on thermal retention! It dries quickly too
- Glued & Blind-Stitched Seams: The most cost-effective performance seam in the wet suit world. Billabong uses a twin-needle blind-stitch to mitigate pin-holes whilst ensuring the best seal and durability of the Absolute Steamers. Intrigued? Check out our wetsuit seams blog
- Tape Reinforcing: As we mentioned above, seams don't stretch as much as neoprene, therefore the most amount of strain is always applied to the seam. By adhering to a synthetic 'tape' the seam on the Billabong Mens Revolution Springsuit can divert the strain off the seam and onto the tape. Learn more about seams
- Strategic Seam Placement: Billabong have minimised the total number of seams on the Furnace Carbon Ultra which in turn creates a more flexible suit. The same notion as the uninterrupted torso panels!
