If you find any defects in this suit, please get in touch ASAP.
Avoid taking off on hard, abrasive surfaces / Wash out with fresh water after every use / Leave to drip dry inside out out of direct sunlight, do not hang from shoulders / Never machine wash, tumble dry or use bleach / Clean with mild detergent by hand / This is not a hire suit, do not pee in it
Reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and providing the best product out there, we are proudly working with Yulex to present the Nieuwland Works Ecosuit, using Yulex Pure™ natural rubber.
Two years of research and development have led to this moment. During this time we explored many alternatives, offering various environmental benefits over traditional neoprene, but these were always accompanied by some compromise to performance or durability. Yulex Pure™ offers a 100% plant-based solution, using ultra-pure and FSC® certified natural rubber. The carbon impact of the biorubber is reduced by up to 80% compared to traditional neoprenes, whilst delivering superior strength and elasticity. Standing head-and-shoulders above the competition, the partnership was an obvious choice.
Pretty hard to get on for the first dozen wears, but after that very comfortable and effective. Build quality is excellent

Whilst pretty tight entry/exit on the first couple of sessions, it loosened up nicely and is a fab fit and super warm.

excellent fit but a challenge to take off over the shoulders.

I got the N4 and now this spring summer. Both extremely well made. Thing I notice is they’re designed to cope with the rigours of getting off. Little bits of reinforcement here and there. Subtle touches. Clever. The suit is new, worn once this week, so tight but I can get out of it without help so not fussed about that, yoga paying off lol. But it’s snug and the suit is very comfortable and warm. I was out on a quiet day late bank holiday Monday spending most of the 2-3hrs in the water and didn’t get flushing, no back leaks, just comfortable. The seals are really good especially on the wrists. I kitesurf as well and will see how it copes on Thursday with wind as well, based on the N4, it’ll be fine. My only build would be longer arms but I can’t decide if I want this or not. There’s a lot of manoeuvrability in the arms and shoulders for paddling. I think the sizing of the arms length and tightness are spot on. But they still feel short, but then I don’t need gloves as it’s a spring summer, so I’ve decided I’m okay with this as it’s a feature I now like, it gives freedom in the wrists. Other bits, it’s a beautiful colour, zips are smooth, the firewall easy to access to unfold. Leg length spot on. Neck nice and tight and once on, don’t notice it. I think that’s it. Fundamentally I am happy with the suit, have no niggles and no regrets buying it. I also trust that they’d fix it if there was a problem which made it a easy decision, no dealing with intermediaries plus I wanted to…
