3/2mm Wetsuits
3/2mm wetsuits are designed for mild to cool Australian water temperatures, offering a lighter, more flexible alternative to thicker cold-water suits. Compared to 4/3mm and 5/4mm wetsuits, a 3/2mm provides sufficient insulation for shoulder seasons, temperate regions, and active sessions without the added weight or restriction of heavier neoprene. This makes 3/2mm wetsuits ideal for surfers, freedivers, and spearfishers who prioritise comfort, flexibility, and ease of movement.
The SALT Element 3/2mm wetsuit range is built using GBS (glued and blind-stitched) seam construction, which helps reduce water entry while maintaining a responsive, flexible feel in the water. Unlike thicker winter wetsuits that focus heavily on insulation and layering, 3/2mm suits strike a balance between warmth retention and mobility, making them well suited to longer sessions and more active use.
For many Australian conditions, a 3/2mm wetsuit is the most versatile option, covering autumn, spring, and mild winter days without the overheating or stiffness that can come with thicker suits. If you regularly dive or surf in waters that do not require full winter insulation, SALT 3/2mm wetsuits provide a practical, performance-focused solution built for everyday use across multiple disciplines.
