If you always struggle to zip up that last bit of your wetsuit and need a buddy to help, you’ll love the Cressi Velvet 3 mm wetsuit.

The Velvet uses a diagonal front zip that starts at the waist and finishes at the shoulder. Not only does that make the suit easy to get into without help, it also keeps you warmer. Because, unlike many front-zip suits that create a cold spot at the front of the neck, the diagonal zip keeps the neck seal unbroken across the front, helping reduce flushing and improving thermal performance. Hydrosealing cuffs at the wrists and ankles add another barrier against water entry. We called it the Velvet for good reason. Made from super-soft Ultrastretch double-lined neoprene, the wetsuit feels great to wear and moves easily with your body while holding its shape. Flat-lock seams sit smoothly against the skin to help prevent rubbing or irritation. Cut specifically for men and women using Cressi’s decades of Italian pattern-cutting expertise, the Velvet follows the body’s natural contours for a clean, performance-focused fit.

From diving in warm water to training in the pool, the Velvet wetsuit is easy to wear and very easy to like.
