Why Choose a 5/4 mm Wetsuit?
A 5/4 mm construction provides extra insulation where the body needs it most. The thicker 5 mm material around the core helps retain body heat, while the 4 mm material in the arms and legs supports better mobility.
This balance is particularly useful for a surfing wetsuit because surfers need warmth while sitting in the lineup but also need flexibility for paddling and popping up on the board.
The Prolimit Flare is therefore a strong option for women looking for:
- Cold-water warmth
- Flexible paddling movement
- Comfortable long sessions
- Reliable thermal insulation
- Easy entry and exit
- A more sustainable wetsuit material
NaturePrene2® – A 100% Neoprene-Free Construction
One of the standout features of the Prolimit Flare range is the use of NaturePrene2®. Instead of relying on traditional neoprene, Prolimit uses a biobased natural rubber material derived from FSC-certified rubber tree plantations.
This gives the Women wetsuit a more environmentally conscious construction while maintaining the qualities riders expect from a modern performance wetsuit.
Benefits of NaturePrene2®
- 100% neoprene-free material
- FSC-certified natural rubber sources
- Designed to provide warmth and insulation
- Flexible enough for active water sports
- Lightweight and comfortable
- Built for modern wetsuit performance
For women who care about the materials used in their watersports equipment, this makes the Flare an attractive alternative to more conventional wetsuit constructions.
Down Airflex for Flexible Movement
Warmth is important in a cold-water wetsuit, but flexibility is equally important. A thick suit that feels stiff can make paddling and movement more difficult.
The Prolimit Flare uses double-lined Down Airflex material to help create a combination of stretch, comfort and durability. The material is designed to be water-repellent and quick-drying while maintaining a soft, flexible feel.
This is particularly useful during active sessions when you are constantly moving.
Designed for Active Water Sports
The flexible construction makes the Flare suitable for a range of activities, including:
- Surfing
- Kitesurfing
- Windsurfing
- Wing foiling
- Paddleboarding
- General cold-water watersports
As a surfing wetsuit, the flexibility helps support natural arm movement during paddling while the warmer core construction helps reduce heat loss.
Zodiac2 with Velvet Airflex Lining
Inside the Prolimit Flare 5/4 Backzip 2026 Wetsuit, the Zodiac2 and Velvet Airflex lining system adds another level of comfort.
The thermal lining is designed to feel soft against the skin while helping manage moisture and dry more quickly after use. A comfortable interior is especially important when wearing a wetsuit for extended periods or when returning to the water for multiple sessions.
Comfort Benefits
The Zodiac2 with Velvet Airflex lining offers:
- A soft interior feel
- Thermal comfort
- Quick-drying performance
- Improved moisture management
- Flexible movement
- Comfortable wear during long sessions
This combination helps make the Flare more than simply a thick cold-water suit. It is designed to feel comfortable enough for regular use throughout the colder season.
GBS Seams for Improved Warmth
The Prolimit Flare uses GBS, or Glued and Blind Stitched seams.
This seam construction is important because seams can be areas where water enters and heat escapes. With GBS construction, panels are glued together and stitched using a technique that avoids fully penetrating the material in the same way as conventional stitching.
The result is a seam designed to improve water resistance while maintaining flexibility.
Advantages of GBS Seams
- Helps reduce water entry
- Supports better heat retention
- Flexible seam construction
- Durable panel connection
- Suitable for cold-water use
For a 5/4 mm wetsuit, effective seam construction plays an important role in maintaining comfort during colder sessions.
Vertical Backzip for Easy Entry
The Prolimit Flare 5/4 Backzip uses a vertical backzip, also known as the V-Zip system.
For many riders, a backzip remains one of the easiest wetsuit entry systems to use. The zipper runs down the back, allowing the suit to open wider and making it easier to get in and out.
This can be especially convenient when compared with tighter chest-entry designs.
Benefits of the Backzip System
- Easy to put on
- Easy to remove
- Wide opening for entry
- Practical for regular use
- Comfortable and straightforward design
The Flare also incorporates a waterblock panel to help limit flushing and unwanted water entry around the zip area.
