For summer in Tasmania, we recommend a lightweight steamer, or for the height of summer, you may want a springsuit.

The Bahia 3/2mm has glued and blindstitched seams, MeshSkin chest/back panels and SuperGrill liner, and comes in options of chest or back zip, with our seasonal Surf Series print, or a timeless all-black colourway. It looks insane, is killer value and most importantly is toasty warm thanks to the internal liner.

You can also look to some of the boys/unisex suits for further options.. for kids the only difference between boys and girls suits is the colour, the fits are the same. The Defender Series, is the same construction as the Bahia series, so you may consider Defender suits for alternate colourways and chest zip options.

For the less frequent surfer, the Reactor II 3/2mm Steamer is a good value for money option featuring wind-resistant Smoothskin 3mm neoprene on the chest and back, and Ultraflex neoprene on the arms and legs, but doesn’t have the same level of stretch and warmth of higher-end wetsuits.

Our Girls Bahia 2mm Long Sleeve Springsuit can be an options in the north of Tassie during high summer. Good warmth through the body and arms, plenty of protection from the sun, all in a suit that's easy to get in and out of in a flash. The Reactor II Springsuit the more affordable option but not as warm or strechy.

It just depends on what’s most important to you - warmth / flexibility / price.
