Winter in Vicco is what cold water dreams are made of, corduroy swell to the horizon and stiff offshore winds. A quality 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 picks for an all-round suit you’ll love right through a Vicco winter are the Bahia 4/3mm or the Psychotech 4/3mm.

Our Bahia 4/3mm 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.

The Psychotech is our warmest and most advanced cold water series, with fully sealed seams, wind stopping chest and back panels, TB Air Firewall liner and TB3 neoprene to let you surf without restrictions for longer sessions.

Our favourite booties for Vicco are the Mutant 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.
