Product Details
O'Neill Girls Bahia 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit is a light-weight and flexible wetsuit that provides maximal comfort. O'Neill's Ultraflex DS neoprene and GBS seams give the wetsuit a sleek look and feel as well as flexibility with a stretch factor of 150%. The seamless paddle zones provide additional comfort by removing the potential for chafing and improving the flexibility of high-strain areas.
The Bahia makes a perfect suit for surfing when it is cooler thanks to its water drainage system and fluid flex firewall insulation. These features help to wick water away from the skin and drain excess water. And with chest zip entry, water sealing is as good as it gets with a zipper on your wettie. This also helps to maintain flexibility through the back panels of neoprene for easy paddling.
At this thickness, this wettie would be well suited to conditions during winter throughout Queensland through NSW. However, you might opt for a thicker 4/3mm cut towards southern NSW and further south.
To get the most out of your O'Neill Women's Bahia 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer we recommend washing it with the Australian made Wetsuit Wash and reading our Wetsuit Maintenance Guide.
O'Neill Girls Bahia 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer Wetsuit Features:
- UltraFlex DS Neoprene 3/2mm: High-performance super-stretch neoprene that is resistant to velcro pulls and snags. For a smaller thickness, the wetsuit still provides warmth thanks to its durable outer layer that resists wind chill.
- GBS and Taped Seams: This stitching helps keep the water out with reinforcing tape while allowing you to move with ease. Stitching is one of the least stretchy components of a wetsuit, so eliminating it helps to increase its stretch. Learn more about seams with our blog.
- Chest Zip: Chest Zips don't impact the flexibility of your wetsuit's neoprene, at least not where you need it for paddling. Learn more about back zip entry systems.
- 3x Water Drain System: This system naturally drains water that enters the wetsuit to keep you feeling dry and light when in the water.
- Fluid Flex Firewall: A soft and lightweight neoprene that will keep you warm and provide good stretch.
- Seamless Paddle Zones: Provides optimal comfort by eliminating rubbing that often causes rashes and chafing.
