KEY INFORMATION
BILLABONG ABSOLUTE 4/3 CHEST ZIP BOY BLUE FADE - 4/3 mm boy's wetsuit
What we like
- 4/3 mm: With 4 mm on the torso and 3 mm on the limbs, this wetsuit is perfect for an Atlantic winter for any child who surfs all year.
- Chest zip: The chest zip entry keeps water out of the back and allows for unrestricted shoulder movement.
- Graphene: According to Billabong, the graphene-infused threads heat up faster and retain warmth longer.
- Superlight Foam: This light and stretchy foam is partly made from recycled tires and neoprene scraps.
- GBS seams: Glued and blind-stitched, these seams have friction points reinforced with Melco tape on the inside.
- Blue Fade: This color features black with a blue gradient, known as BEF color at Billabong.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Winter for Kids
With 4 mm of neoprene on the torso and 3 mm on the arms and legs, the Absolute 4/3 handles cold water from November to April on the Atlantic coast. Just add boots and a hood on windy days. This wetsuit is for a child who surfs or kites all year round, not for a summer camp.
Warmer, Faster
Billabong weaves graphene-infused threads into the lining, combining them with a silicone material. This means the wetsuit heats up faster and retains warmth longer. The Superlight Foam, partly recycled, is lighter and stretchier than classic neoprene.
Sealed Seams
The seams are glued and then stitched (GBS) to limit water entry without stiffening the wetsuit. Friction points are reinforced with Melco tape on the inside. The exterior is made of recycled Pro Stretch polyester, 87% recycled polyester and 13% elastane, according to Billabong.
