Winter in Vicco is what cold water dreams are made of, corduroy swell to the horizon and stiff offshore winds. A quality 4/3mm steamer, booties and often a hood will maximise time in the water, and it doesn’t hurt to have a pair of gloves around.

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

Our Bahia Seriesis 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 forfurther options..for kids the only difference between boys and girls suits is the colour, the fits are the same.TheDefender 4/3, is the same construction as the Bahia series, soyou may considerDefender suits for alternate colourways and chest zip options.

Our favourite booties for Vicco are theMutant 3mm Split Toe Boot, preferred hood option is thePsycho 3mm Coldwater Hood, and our pick for gloves is always thePsychotech 1.5mm Glove.

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