Wetsuit choices for surfing through winter in South Australia? A good 4/3mm steamer, some booties, and when needed, a hood will keep you warmer, looser, and surfing longer.

Our top pick for an all-round suit you’ll love right through a South OZ winter is the Bahia 4/3mm.

Our Bahia Series is a comfy and warm suit thanks to it's glued and blindstitched seams (GBS), MeshSkin chest/back panels and SuperGrill liner, and looks incredible with its seasonal Surf Series print.

You can also look to some of the boys/unisex suits for further options.. for kids the only difference between boys and girls suits is the colour, the fits are the same. The Defender 4/3, is the same construction as the Bahia series, so you may consider Defender suits for alternate colourways and chest zip options.

Our favourite booties for South Oz are the Defender 3mm Split Toe Boot, preferred hood option is the Psycho 3mm Coldwater Hood, and our pick for gloves is always the Psychotech 1.5mm Glove.

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