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

The Bahia 3/2mm has glued and blindstitched seams, MeshSkin chest/back panels and SuperGrill liner, and comes in options of chest or back zip, with our seasonal Surf Series print, or a timeless all-black colourway. It looks insane, is killer value and most importantly is toasty warm thanks to the internal liner.

The Psychotech 3/2mm has fluid weld sealed seams, hydrophobic outer fabric, Air Firewall Smoothskin chest/back panels, and TBFirewall liner. It’s top of the line, highest level performance, flexibility and warmth.

For the less frequent surfer, the Reactor II 3/2mm Steamer is a good value for money option featuring wind-resistant Smoothskin 3mm neoprene on the chest and back, and Ultraflex neoprene on the arms and legs, but doesn’t have the same level of stretch and warmth of higher-end wetsuits.

Our Bahia 2mm Long Sleeve Springsuit (in the Cheeky or Mid cut) can be an options in the north of Tassie during high summer. Good warmth through the body and arms, plenty of protection from the sun, all in a suit that's easy to get in and out of in a flash.The Bahia 2mm Short Sleeve Full Steamer is another popular choice for those girls that like the extra warmth in the legs and a little more freedom in the arms.

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