Prolimit Wetsuit Women's Flare Steamer Freezip 5/4MM Black

Prolimit Wetsuit Women's Flare Steamer Freezip 5/4MM is built for cold pre-winter sessions where you need warmth without "sealing" your shoulders. The 5/4-mm distribution puts most of the insulation on your core and thighs, while thinner panels around shoulders and arms make paddling, looping and pumping feel light. The women's fit closes tight and stable around chest and waist, so the suit won't twist during water starts or a solid duck-dive. Freezip chest closure opens wide in the front, making entry into the cockpit or parking lot controlled and wrestle-free; closed, the seal lies flat with an internal barrier that limits flushing. Glued and blind-stitched (GBS) seams keep water ingress low, soft wrist and ankle seals close neatly under gloves and boots, and the collar is skin-friendly finished so it doesn't chafe under hood or impact vest. Reinforced knees and carefully placed panels protect against deck contact and beach starts, while the liner warms up quickly and doesn't feel clammy between sessions.

On Dutch water, you especially notice how calm and predictable the Flare 5/4 feels when the wind turns or picks up. The outer layer absorbs little wind, which noticeably tempers wind chill on deck or during downwind runs, and small drains drain residual water immediately after a drop. The legs and sleeves stay in place without creeping up during sprints or lots of overpacking; the stretch around the shoulders keeps your stroke loose and helps limit fatigue during longer racks. Getting on and off takes little effort because of the elastic panels around the Freezip opening; after sailing, you can rinse off salt and sand easily and dry the suit inside out on a hanger. Materials and stitching have been selected for durability in salt and sun, so that fit and warmth are maintained season after season-ideal for those who want to sail on lakes, ponds and the coast in autumn, winter and early spring.
