Why Choose the Prolimit Flare Sunset 3/2 Longarm Shorty?
A standard shorty is excellent for warm weather, but conditions on the water can change quickly. Wind can make a sunny day feel considerably cooler, especially when you’re wet. The Prolimit Flare Sunset 3/2 Longarm Shorty Double Frontzip solves this problem by combining long sleeves with short legs.
This design gives you additional protection where many riders need it most: across the arms and upper body. At the same time, the short-leg construction keeps the suit feeling lightweight and unrestricted.
Designed for Longer Summer Sessions
The 3/2 mm thickness uses thicker insulation around the main body and lighter material in areas where flexibility is important. This makes the suit particularly suitable for:
- Cool summer mornings
- Windy beach conditions
- Evening and sunset sessions
- Longer sessions on the water
- Mild-water kitesurfing
- Surfing and other board sports
- Riders who want more coverage than a traditional shorty
The long sleeves also provide an extra layer between your skin and the sun, wind, and water spray. This makes the Flare Sunset a versatile wetsuit for Women who want one suit capable of handling a wide range of summer conditions.
Down Airflex for Stretch and Freedom of Movement
One of the standout features of the Flare range is the use of Down Airflex material. Prolimit describes its Airflex technology as being designed to provide flexibility and mobility while maintaining comfort for active water sports.
Freedom of movement is essential in a surfing wetsuit. Your wetsuit should move naturally when paddling, popping up, carving, jumping, or handling a kite bar. A restrictive suit can quickly become uncomfortable during a long session.
The stretch-focused construction of the Flare Sunset helps the suit follow your body’s movement rather than fighting against it. This is especially important around the shoulders and arms, where the long sleeves need to remain comfortable during repeated movement.
Soft Velvet Airflex Inner Lining
Inside the suit, the Velvet Airflex lining is designed to create a softer and more comfortable feel against the skin. Prolimit also associates this lining technology with flexibility and quicker drying characteristics.
For regular riders, quick-drying properties can be particularly useful. A wetsuit that dries faster between sessions can feel more comfortable when you’re back on the water the next day.
The combination of flexible outer materials and a comfortable inner lining makes this Women wetsuit suitable for riders who spend plenty of time in and around the water.
NaturePrene2 Oystershell Construction
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in wetsuit design, and Prolimit has developed its NaturePrene2 material as an alternative to conventional neoprene.
The Flare Sunset 2025 uses NaturePrene2 Oystershell construction, described as a 100% neoprene-free material. Prolimit’s NaturePrene2 technology uses natural and recycled components and is associated with FSC-certified sourcing.
Benefits of the Neoprene-Free Construction
The material choice offers several important advantages:
- Reduced reliance on conventional neoprene
- Flexible construction for active water sports
- Focus on sustainable material sourcing
- Designed to maintain warmth and comfort
- FSC-approved material components
For environmentally conscious riders, this makes the Prolimit Flare an appealing option when choosing a new wetsuit.
Double Frontzip Entry System
The Double Frontzip entry is another important feature of this model. A good entry system should make putting the suit on and taking it off easier while helping the wetsuit maintain a close and secure fit.
The front-entry design keeps the suit practical for regular use and is particularly convenient for riders who find traditional back-zip suits less comfortable.
Why Front Entry Matters
A front-entry construction can offer several practical benefits:
- Easier access when putting on the suit
- A secure, close-fitting upper-body design
- Comfortable performance during active movement
- Reduced dependence on a long rear zipper
- Practical use for frequent sessions
Combined with the flexible materials, the Double Frontzip system helps make the Flare Sunset a convenient option for women who regularly use their surfing wetsuit throughout the season.
GBS Seams for Improved Comfort
The Prolimit Flare Sunset uses Glued and Blind Stitched (GBS) seams. This construction is designed to reduce water penetration compared with simple flatlock stitching.
GBS construction joins panels by gluing them before stitching. The blind stitching process is intended to avoid fully penetrating the material, helping maintain better seam integrity and warmth.
For a 3/2 mm long-arm shorty, this is especially useful when riding in breezy conditions or during cooler parts of the day.
Main Advantages of GBS Seams
- Helps reduce water entry
- Supports better warmth retention
- Provides strong seam construction
- Suitable for longer sessions
- Helps improve comfort in changing conditions
The result is a wetsuit for Women that is better prepared for those sessions when the temperature drops and the wind starts picking up.
Who Is This Wetsuit Best For?
The Prolimit Flare Sunset 3/2 Longarm Shorty is an excellent choice for women looking for more warmth than a standard summer shorty without moving to a full steamer wetsuit.
It is particularly suitable for:
Kitesurfers
The long sleeves provide useful protection against wind chill while the flexible construction supports active movement.
Surfers
For surfers looking for a lightweight surfing wetsuit, the 3/2 mm construction offers useful warmth while the short legs maintain freedom of movement.
Wakeboarders
The stretch and secure fit are well suited to repeated movement and active riding.
Paddleboarders and Water Sports Enthusiasts
Anyone spending extended periods on the water can benefit from the additional arm coverage and lightweight shorty design.
