<p><strong>Peak Mens X-Dry Chest Zip 3/2mm Steamer Wetsuit </strong>is a great value for money chest zip steamer with a 100% sealed front zip. It features Peak's flexible and lightweight X-Stretch neoprene in the arms &amp; shoulders for ease of movement when paddling and also in the knees. It also boasts thermal mesh chest and back panels, a key pocket and X-Dry fast lining.<br></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">This suit will offer you superior warmth and stretch due to its chest zip and its glued and blind-stitched (GBS) seams.
