Billabong Absolute Natural 4/3 Chest Zip Wetsuit

Warm and sustainable chest zip wetsuit from Billabong

Want to stay warm on the water without giving up your green conscience? Then the Billabong Absolute Natural 4/3 Chest Zip Wetsuit is exactly what you're looking for. This is the suit that Billabong uses to prove that sustainable and high performance go together just fine. No neoprene, but plenty of graphene warmth and an outer fabric made from 100% recycled materials. In short, a 4/3mm wetsuit for the kiter who cares about the ocean just as much as their sessions.

The biggest trick of this suit is on the inside. Billabong lines the Absolute Natural with graphene, the same material that once earned a Nobel Prize and now keeps you nice and warm. The lining spreads your body heat evenly across your whole body, so you can stay on the water longer before the cold kicks in. The foam underneath is made of natural rubber, built up from 85% natural rubber and topped up with upcycled BolderBlack and soybean oil. That gives you a supple suit that's completely neoprene-free.

On the outside you'll find the Upcycler Pro Stretch fabric, made from 100% post-consumer recycled textiles. This fabric stretches along nicely with you, so you get full freedom of movement during your session. The inner lining is sustainably built too, from 87% recycled polyester and 13% recycled elastane. So almost the entire suit gives old materials a second life. Great for your flex and great for the ocean you love to ride.

To keep the water out, Billabong works with GBS seams, meaning glued and blind-stitched seams. On top of that, the whole inside is finished with super-flex neo tape, which makes the seams extra strong and water-repellent without limiting your flex. You get into the suit through the chest zip at the front. This entry keeps your neck comfortably free and lets in less water than a classic zip on the back.

To sum it up, you're choosing warmth, flexibility and a good feeling about your gear. Graphene, natural rubber and recycled fabrics all come together here in a suit that performs without weighing on the ocean. Ready to kite into autumn warm and sustainable? Then take a quick look at the Billabong Absolute Natural 4/3 Chest Zip Wetsuit.
