Wetsuit choice for summer in South Australia? It's all about the Short Arm Steamer, or the Long Sleeve Springsuit. There will be moments for just boardies and a wetsuit jackets, and other times when a 3/2mm steamer is more comfortable for some.

For Short Arm Steamers or Long Sleeve Springsuits or the regular Spring Suit, you can’t beat the Hyperfreak series for complete freedom of movement. They are hands down the most comfortable suit you will ever surf in thanks to their TB3-X Neoprene.

The Defender series also has these spring suit variations covered, and while not as ridiculously light and flexible as the Hyperfreak (nothing ever has been) still awesome all-round performers. It’s a warmer series than the Hyperfreak, at a lower price.

TheReactor II seriesis the most affordable option, without as much stretch/comfort/warmth as the higher end suits, but a worthy suit for the less frequent surfer.

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