Seams
100% taped
Fully taped from head to toe to further improve the double glued and blind stitched seam strength whilst offering maximum comfort while in the surf.
Blind stitched
An established technique for a super strong seam. A blind stitch is created by sewing two layers of neoprene together and only partially penetrating the material, minimising the possibility of water entering the wetsuit and maximising flexibility.
Glued
All seams are glued before stitching to for the ultimate seal. This technique minimises the possibility of water entering the wetsuit and provides a stronger more flexible seam.
Design
Simpel Entry
Our easy entry neck system. Designed and built to make getting your wetsuit on and off as easy and fast as possible reducing your time in the cold and maintaining your core warmth.
Drain holes
To minimise the risk of flushing drain holes have been added to the rear of the neck panel to allow water to escape from the bib if it enters.
Heavy duty zip
A heavy duty, lightweight PK zipper incorporated into our easy Simpel Entry system that is spring loaded to prevent unzipping. Designed to last.

Abrasion resistant knee pads provide extra protection and durability with the aim of extending the lifespan of the wetsuit while improving performance and overall comfort.

T-Shirt
The quality of the organic cotton T-shirts from Simpel are honestly the best I’ve had. My new favourite tshirts for sure. Solid weight, feel amazing and look great too.

Simpely a YES. Quality, value, and great after sales 4/3 spring autumn. And 6/4 hooded
Worked it out at over 300 hours of use, in the 4/3 suit in the last year. Seams still secure, no loss of flex, wrists and ankles no shearing, and lining still has that nice fluffiness. Very well designed and practical for high use surfers. Goes on easy when wet, and drys quick between surfs. Full neoprene chest is a dream, and back panel is more than enough since wind is mostly at your back when off shore!.. emailed direct with questions before recently bought the 6/4, team were super helpful with ordering, and have to say so far the most comfortable winter suit i've worn, neck and hood are super flexy, doesn't feel restrictive, has thicker layer around ears tith flexy head and neck.. chest legs and bum warm, quality and durability are superior to my last two xcel winter wetsuits which only lasted a season and were falling apart at chest after about 60 hours in the water.. if you surf enough, you probably don't work as much, and wetsuits are a tough expense, then this is the suit for you, best quality and value to use ratio of any suit I've owned... if you're loaded and a label slut, get over yourself, and go simpel instead.

Very happy with my 5/4 hooded wetsuit
Very happy with my 5/4 hooded wetsuit. The quality is outstanding, the rubber feels premium, the thermal lining is incredibly warm, and the fit is spot-on. The hood seals really well and makes a huge difference on cold days. Overall, fantastic suit.

La muta migliore che abbia mai avuto 3/2 super calda
La muta migliore che abbia mai avuto 3/2 super calda , le altre marche a confronto non possono competere . Questa ha una qualità superiore ! Grande muta , top quality . Soddisfatto

I am really happy with the quality and fit of the suit, it has kept me warm all through the winter in Portugal with no leaks or damage to seals or stitching.
Some of my favourite features of the suit are:
1. The silky smooth, soft lining which glides over my skin when putting it on, even when wet. It also dries crazy quickly!
2. The taped seams let no water in, even after trips over the falls (this happens a lot)
3. The ergo stitching around my arms and shoulders for easy paddling.
4. The look and design of the suit in general with low key subtle branding.
5. The fit, I am a stocky dude at 5’9” 95kgs and the large short fits me perfectly, it also didn’t stretch out and become baggy like many other brands do after a few months.
You can tell the Simpel people have put a lot of time and experience into the build of this suit and it shows. Love your work!
I used my new 4/3mm on a recent trip and it was epic. Fit great, super comfortable when paddling and no restrictions or irritations. Easy to get on & off too. I’m 5’7 70KG and got the medium short (MS). Looks great, feels great and it’s priced great too. Highly recommend getting one.
