GoldFin women shorty wetsuit, Black, Size Medium — 3mm neoprene back-zip for surfing & snorkeling

GoldFin Women Shorty Wetsuit is a 3mm neoprene back-zip suit designed for surfing, snorkeling, diving and warm-to-temperate water activities.

This streamlined shorty blends stretch, buoyancy and quick on/off convenience so you can get into the water fast and stay comfortable during active sessions. Built from 3mm neoprene with a rear zipper, the suit balances warmth and mobility for summer or layered use in cooler conditions. It also reduces chafing and offers light abrasion protection for board work, reefs and gear contact.

How does this wetsuit make getting in and out of the water easier?

The back-zip design simplifies entry and removal compared with sealed front-entry suits. A full-length rear zipper permits a wider opening so you can slide the shorty on quickly without wrestling tight seams. Strategic seam placement reduces pinch points and the short-leg/short-arm cut prevents bunching at the joints.

• Full-length rear zipper for rapid entry and exit
• Shorty cut avoids constriction at shoulders and knees
• Elastic neoprene that flexes with active strokes and paddles
• Flatlock or taped seams reduce rubbing during frequent use

Will 3mm neoprene keep me warm enough for my activities?

At 3mm thickness, the suit is optimized for warm-to-moderate water temperatures and high-movement sports. It retains core warmth while allowing enough flexibility for surfing, snorkeling and swim training. For colder water add a hood, boots or a thin overlayer to extend comfort without restricting motion.

• 3mm neoprene balances warmth and flexibility
• Shorty style good for summer, tropical, and layered use
• Buoyant material helps streamline body position in water
• Pair with accessories for lower temperatures

How durable and protective is the suit for reefs, boards, and gear?

The neoprene construction gives light abrasion resistance and protects skin from board rash, sun exposure and minor scrapes around rocky entries. Flat seams and reinforced panels at high-wear zones extend the suit’s life through repeated sessions. While not a substitute for heavy exposure gear, it offers practical protection for most recreational water sports.

• Neoprene resists sun and light abrasion
• Reinforced seam placement lowers wear at elbows and knees
• Shorty length reduces snag points while paddling or diving
• Easy to rinse and quick to dry after use

What size should I choose and how does fit affect performance?

A close, snug fit is essential so the neoprene traps a thin layer of water for thermal regulation without restricting movement. Refer to the GoldFin size chart for accurate measurements—choose based on your chest, waist and hip dimensions rather than general clothing sizes. If you’re between sizes, select the smaller size for a better thermal seal, or size up for greater comfort during long surface sessions.

• Use GoldFin size chart for chest, waist, and hip measurements
• Snug fit improves warmth and reduces drag
• Consider sizing up for extended surface wear or body shape preferences
• Shorty suits tolerate small fit variations without major mobility loss
