Prolimit Wetsuit Women's Oxygen Steamer Freezip 6/4MM is built for deep fall to mid-winter, with an emphasis on warmth, stretch and reliable comfort in changeable weather. The 6/4-mm division puts thick insulation on your core and thighs, while smoother panels at shoulders and arms make paddling, looping and pumping feel light. The women's fit fits tight and stable around chest and waist without pinching; the thermal lining warms quickly in the first few minutes and retains heat when the wind picks up. Freezip chest closure opens wide, so entry into cockpit or parking lot is controlled and without a fight; closed, the seal lies flush under impact vest or trapeze. FTM-taped GBS seams minimize water entry, wrist and ankle seals keep rinse water out, and small drains allow residual water to drain immediately. Reinforced knees and cleverly placed abrasion zones protect during beach starts, foiling and deck contact, while the outer layer absorbs little wind to dampen wind chill during long raks or waiting on set.
On Dutch water, you especially notice the calmness and predictability of the Oxygen 6/4 when gusts, chop and temperature fluctuate. The suit moves with your stance, allowing your shoulders and lower back to build up less tension and making jibs feel more consistent. Sleeves and legs stay in place without creeping up; the collar has a skin-friendly finish and doesn't rub against hood or vest. On and off is smooth thanks to elastic panels around the Freezip opening, and the lining dries quickly between sessions so you don't start round two with a clammy suit. Afterwards, rinse off salt and sand, drain inside out, and the stretch stays level season after season. So even in cold and gusty winds, you can continue sailing with confidence on lakes, ponds and along the coast with a suit that convincingly combines warmth, mobility and durability.
