GoldFin Womens Shorty Wetsuit, Black, Size Small - 3mm Neoprene Back-Zip for Surf & Snorkel

If you need a versatile, entry-to-mid-level wetsuit that balances mobility with thermal protection, the GoldFin Women Shorty is built to fit active water users. Constructed from 3mm neoprene with a rear zipper, this shorty style covers the torso and upper thighs, keeping you warmer than a swimsuit while leaving shoulders and lower legs free for paddling and kicking. It blends lightweight buoyancy with straightforward durability for frequent sessions in temperate waters.

How does the back-zip design make getting in and out easier?

The rear zipper runs along the back so you can step into the suit and pull it up quickly; it’s a practical choice for solo users. The placement reduces pressure on the chest and keeps the front seam smooth under rash guards or swimwear. Zippers also make post-session removal faster, especially when the suit is wet.

• Full-length back zipper for quick entry and exit
• Simple pull-tab for easy reach behind the shoulders
• Minimizes front seam bulk under swim layers
• Designed for independent changing without assistance

What protection and performance can I expect from 3mm neoprene?

Three millimeters of neoprene is a common thickness that provides moderate warmth while preserving flexibility. It offers noticeable insulation in cool to mild water and adds slight buoyancy to improve body position during swimming and paddling. The material is light enough to avoid restricting stroke mechanics and efficient for multi-sport use.

• Thermal insulation suitable for spring/summer coastal temperatures
• Lightweight buoyancy to support swimming posture
• Flexible panels for free shoulder and hip movement
• Durable neoprene that resists tearing in regular use

Which activities is this shorty wetsuit best suited for?

The shorty form factor and 3mm thickness make this suit a good match for surf sessions, snorkeling trips, paddleboarding, and pool-based water fitness. It gives core warmth without overheating, and the cut allows strong arm movement for paddling or stroke work. Use it for warm-water dives, beach days with longer swims, or any active water sport that benefits from modest thermal coverage.

• Surfing and bodyboarding — freedom for paddling and popping to your feet
• Snorkeling and warm-water scuba dives — core warmth while swimming
• Paddleboarding and kayaking — added comfort on long outings
• Water aerobics and lap swimming — modest insulation without stiffness

Who is this for? The GoldFin Women Shorty Wetsuit is aimed at active women who want a simple, practical wetsuit that balances warmth with range of motion. It suits beginners and regular participants in non-extreme conditions who prioritize ease of use, quick drying, and reliable performance. Refer to the GoldFin size chart before ordering to ensure the right fit; a well-fitted shorty improves comfort, thermal efficiency, and swimming mechanics.

Fit and care tips: Choose your size using the GoldFin Size Chart included in the listing photos. Rinse the wetsuit with fresh water after each use, hang to dry inside out away from direct sunlight, and avoid machine washing or tumble drying to extend neoprene life. Small repairs for zipper or seam wear can prolong the suit’s serviceable years.
