Billabong Furnace 5/4 Ultra Gullwing Frontzip Wetsuit

Ultra supple and warm 5/4 winter wetsuit from Billabong

Furnace means oven, and that's exactly the idea. The Billabong Furnace 5/4 Ultra Gullwing Frontzip Wetsuit is made for kiters who want to keep sending it through winter. This is the Ultra version, so the best Billabong has to offer in the Furnace line. You notice it most in how little you feel the wetsuit once you're up and riding.

The neoprene is Ocena natural rubber, the lightest and most flexible rubber Billabong uses. Light neoprene absorbs less water, so you're not hanging heavy in your harness after an hour and your arms stay fresh. The outside is Airlite II, a recycled nylon fabric that Billabong says is the most durable they've made so far. You notice that in the areas that wear out fastest, like your seat and the inside of your arms.

Inside you get a combination of two linings. Graphene Ultra sits around your torso, where there's the most warmth to gain, and Graphene Pro on your arms and legs, where you mainly need stretch. Graphene conducts heat well and spreads the warmth you produce across your whole body instead of letting it sit in one place. The result is an even, warm feeling, even when you're bobbing around on the water for a while.

The Power Seam seams on the outside keep water out, with machine applied super-flex neo tape on the inside and water based glue. The Gullwing entry opens wide to both sides, so you slide in without wrestling, while hardly any water gets in during your session and your back and shoulders stay completely free.

Kiting year round and want the same freedom in winter as in summer? Then the Billabong Furnace 5/4 Ultra Gullwing Frontzip Wetsuit is an investment you'll enjoy every cold session.
