Winter wetsuits reviewed by Windsurfing UK Magazine include both the NCW 5/4/3mm Chest Zip Hooded Winter Wetsuit and 5/3mm Back Zip Winter Wetsuit.

The review highlights what makes NCW wetsuits stand apart — premium performance without the premium price tag. Designed and tested right here in Cornwall, our suits are built to handle the harshest winter conditions across a variety of watersports, from surfing and windsurfing to kitesurfing and wing foiling.

Focus on Materials & Performance

Both wetsuits are crafted from Yamamoto neoprene, the world’s best limestone-based neoprene known for its incredible warmth, flexibility, and durability. The thermal linings in each model were praised for keeping riders toasty, while the intuitive panelling ensures minimal water flush and maximum comfort.
