Ah, the Victorian summer... stinking hot days, with a tiny window of water warm enough for just a pair of boardies. If you’re after a neoprene jacket there are some great options in our range, but we’ll focus here on spring suit options as that’s what we get the most mileage out of in summer.

For the warmer parts of summer, you should be comfortable in a springsuit, we recommend theYouth Reactor II 2mm Short Arm Springsuit. At times throughout summer you might prefer a just a wetsuit jacket with a pair of boardies... we recommend theYouth Reactor II 1.5mm Long Arm Crew.

Its worth noting there are occasionally periods during a Vicco summer that require a 3/2mm steamer. 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. It's comfortable, durable and incredible value for money. Alternatively, the Reactor II 3/2mm is the most affordable option, but doesn't have as much stretch/comfort/warmth as the Defender series.

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