West Wetsuit Youth Nitro 3x2

A wetsuit will keep you warm and toasty when staying out of the water because it's too cold isn't an option and the youth Nitro by West wetsuits is your biggest bang for your buck.

The 3/2 youth Nitro is a great "middle of the road" wetsuit available for youth in West's line. Made out of a 50% Ultraspan neoprene which is a limestone based SUPER stretchy neoprene for maximum mobility and flexibility. Flexibility is so important when paddling because if your wetsuit isn't stretch enough, you will tire out faster when paddling.

The 3/2 represents the neoprene thickness. 3mm body, or main torso, thickness and 2mm thickness for the arms and legs. This keeps you warm in cool to chilly water temps.

The seams on this wetsuit are triple glued and blind stitched. This means the wetsuit is totally sealed and keeps the seams water tight, limiting the amount of water that enters the wetsuit. Taping on high stress areas means you don't have to worry about a seam tearing out from extra movement.

An extra flap of super thin neoprene that is attached to the inside back of the wetsuit (called a batwing), goes up and over your head and prevents water from rushing down your back when you dive under a wave.

Extra watertight embossing seals around the ankles and wrists preventing water from rushing up while the "Forte" collar closure keeps the neck of this wetsuit comfortable, warm and closed off from the elements.

Seamless shoulders and underarm panels keep the wetsuit from rubbing weird and causing uncomfortable chaffing in the highest movement areas. The last thing you want is a painful rash in the shoulder area when you are trying to paddle out.

A special fabric layer on the chest and back, called Thermal Mesh Glide Skin, provides an extra layer of insulation as well as giving you extra grip on the surfboard when you are laying down.

The neoprene is pre-bent in the arms and legs for an extra level of flexibility. Reinforced knee pads to protect the knees from wear and tear.

Key holder so that you can stash your car key on yourself instead of the bushes.

YKK zippers means consistent watertight closure every time.

And the best feature of this wetsuit like all of West's wetsuits is the unconditional lifetime guarantee on all seams from tearing out. This is huge because the seams of a wetsuit are the most susceptible to being torn. This means this wetsuit will last you forever... and if it doesn't... you get a new one.

If you're looking for a good durable youth wetsuit then the youth Nitro is your wetsuit of choice.
