The O'Neill Womens 1.5mm Bahia Wetsuit Jacket is equipped with a full front zip entry, durable flatlock stitching on the seams and quality Ultraflex DS Neoprene. These aren't the most flexible options when it comes to wetsuit construction, however, when it's just 1.5mm thick the material is inherently flexible.
This vest design is perfect for keeping some coverage during warmer months, we’d recommend it for late spring and summer through QLD and NSW, and further north in WA. South of the NSW border you might still be tempted by a spring suit depending on your tolerance.
ONeill Womens 1.5mm Bahia Front Zip Wetsuit Jacket Features:
- Ultraflex DS Neoprene 1.5mm: For a material that doesn't hold great thickness it is surprisingly warm. The UltraFlex DS Neoprene allows you to move freely with flexibility and is resistant to wear from velcro and fingernails.
- Full Front Zip: This zip makes getting in and out of your vest as easy as possible.
- Flatlock Stitching: Flatlock stitching is one of the more durable stitching designs, intended to last the test of time but with the trade-off of having poor water sealing capabilities unlike GBS, taped or welded seams.
- Seamless Paddle Zones: For your added comfort these zones of fabric will increase flexibility through the shoulder for paddling and reduce chafing.
