Our warmest wetsuit, built for the coldest months of winter. The built-in hood and 360° internal barrier help prevent flushing along with our best fit yet, and the thicker chest and back panelling help retain core warmth. This suit will keep you warm in the coldest surf you can find. 

New for 2026, our Shearwater wetsuit range introduces a U-Zip for easy entry and exit, joining our back zip wetsuits in our high-performance wetsuit range. Easier to get in and out of than a chest zip, with improved comfort and flexibility.

For Sea Temps Of 9-13°C/48-55°F

A new introduction to our range, the 4mm hooded Shearwater wetsuit balances warmth and flexibility to keep you surfing for longer. The built-in hood helps reduce flushing and keeps the windchill down, even if boots and gloves aren’t quite necessary. A great suit for transitional seasons, as well as providing enough warmth and protection to get you through a typical British winter.

4mm Wetsuits

For Sea Temps Of 11-15°C/52-59°F

Hoodless, flexible, and with plenty of heat retention, our 4mm wetsuits are incredibly versatile. Made to carry you through the transitions of autumn and spring as well as keeping you going through the depths of winter. If surfing in the UK, this suit will likely be the one you use most throughout the year.

Allowing full mobility whilst keeping your core warm, our 2mm Yulex range includes swimsuits, men’s and women’s shorty wetsuits and spring suits - perfect for warmer summer waters or when travelling to more tropical destinations.
