Our top recommendations for the best wetsuits for surfing QLD during winter are the Psycho One 3/2, the Defender 3/2 or the Hyperfreak 3/2+.

Psycho One has fully sealed seams, hydrophobic outer fabric and Firewall liner, so you stay drier longer inside the suit. It’s super stretchy and flexible and very warm.

The Hyperfreak has glued and taped seams and no firewall liner so it’s not as warm as the Psycho One, but it’s the stretchiest most comfortable suit we’ve ever made, if you don’t need as much warmth but want to feel like you’re surfing nude.

The Defender Full 3/2 sits below the top end Psycho and Hyperfreak Series, but is a premium, very flexible and warm suit. If you want a really solid option at a lower price this is a great pick.

If you can surf through Winter without putting on a steamer, lucky you! These tuff guys will be happy in the Youth Reactor II 2mm Springsuit, or for more choice check out our Autumn/Spring recommendations.

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