For summer in Tasmania, we recommend a lightweight steamer, or for the height of summer, you may want a springsuit.

The Defender 3/2mm is a great all-rounder. With a thermal liner to keep you warm, the Defender keeps the water out, and the heat in. Whilst not quite as flexible as the Psycho One or Hyperfreak, its comfortable, durable and incredible value for money - perfect if you already a good 4/3mm for winter.

The Psycho One 3/2mm is top of the range for boys. Very warm and flexible with fully sealed seams, hydrophobic outer fabric and Firewall liner, so you stay drier longer inside the suit. The Hyperfreak 3/2+ has glued and taped seams and no firewall liner, but is the stretchiest most comfortable suit we’ve ever made, its not as warm as the Defender and Psycho series, making the 3/2+ a great summer option.

The Reactor II 3/2mm Steameris 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.
