How to measure

For a wetsuit, we find that your weight is usually the most important measurement to follow. Height is less critical as a wetsuit will still function well if the legs are a little too long or short. We also suggest going for the smaller size if you are tossing up between two sizes.. most women's returns come back because the wetsuit fitted 'Too large'.

Weight - Jump on the scales to weigh yourself.
Height - Your full body height, measured from the floor to the top if your head.
Bust - Keeping the tape level, measure under your arms around the fullest part of the bust.
Waist - Measure at the narrowest part of the natural waistline with no tension around the tape.

Much better

This suit was a 2nd choice after the hyperfreak I bought first was faulty and not suited to the surfing that it did .

So was refunded and I purchased this .

Not worn it yet but have an 3 year old defender and that is still alive .

Trouble is I also purchased a hyperfreak fire 3/2 and that has many faults and I returned that it took 3 weeks and I received it back today and the faults are still in repaired . Lots of money spent and that suit has only been worn twice and still can’t be used .

Defender suits are definitely the one to have

Great quality wetsuit at an affordable price!

I purchased this wetsuit to stay warm during the (quite chilly) South-East Queensland winter and I couldn't be happier. The neoprene is very stretchy and the quality of the stitching is really good. The chest zip doesn't let any water in. Absolutely recommended!
