Key Strengths
Warmth and Winter Protection
- 6/5 mm thickness to tackle cold and very cold conditions with good thermal comfort.
- Integrated hood with warm inner lining to protect head, ears, and part of the face.

Flexibility and Comfort
- Super soft neoprene throughout the wetsuit for a comfortable feel and natural movements.
- Materials designed to offer great freedom, especially in the shoulders, arms, and torso.

- Updated design with double-lined panels instead of the old mesh, for improved overall robustness.
Technical Features
- Front zip closure with Quick Zip System for simple and quick entry and exit.

- Amortex Lite kneepads for protected knees and greater wear resistance.
- Stress point tape: tape reinforcements in areas subject to traction and stress.
Materials
- High-quality Nam Liong Neoprene, among the most flexible in its price range.
- Apex Lite to offer flexibility in key areas and warmth in the right zones.
- Fireline Light as a quick-drying internal insulation around vital parts.
Ideal Use
The Rise 6/5 Hooded GBS FZ is ideal for windsurfing, wingfoiling, kitesurfing, surfing, and SUP in cold and very cold conditions, when complete thermal protection is essential.
It is the perfect choice for those looking for a reliable and high-performance winter wetsuit, with an excellent quality/performance ratio in the entry-mid level category.
Color and Sizes
Available in C1 Black, with a clean and technical look suitable for any type of equipment.
Available sizes: 48/S, 50/M, 52/L, 54/XL, 56/XXL, 98/MT, 102/LT, 106/XLT to cover different heights and body types.
Fit and Size Selection
The fit is designed to be snug but comfortable, to limit water entry and maximize the insulating power of the neoprene.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What temperatures is the Rise 6/5 Hooded suitable for?
It is designed for cold and very cold conditions, when a 6/5 thickness with integrated hood is necessary to keep the body warm during prolonged sessions.
Is the hood integrated or removable?
The hood is integrated into the wetsuit to offer continuous insulation on the neck and head and reduce water entry in this area.
What type of closure does it have?
This wetsuit uses a front zip closure with Quick Zip System, designed to facilitate entry and exit, while maintaining good water tightness on the chest.
Are the seams watertight?
GBS seams are glued and blindstitched, so the needle does not pass completely through the neoprene, minimizing water infiltration.
Is it also suitable for wingfoiling and new foil disciplines?
Yes, the rip tech fabric and Amortex Lite kneepads make the Rise particularly suitable also for disciplines where the wetsuit is often in contact with foils, boards, and wings.
How should I care for the wetsuit?
Rinse the wetsuit with fresh water after each use, do not use aggressive detergents, do not let it dry under direct sunlight, and hang it on a wide hanger to avoid deforming the neoprene.
How do I choose the correct size?
Compare your measurements with the brand's size chart, and if you are unsure between two sizes, consider whether you prefer a tighter fit (more warmth) or easier dressing (more comfort).
Is the Rise 6/5 suitable for intense use?
Yes, it is designed to be a "daily use" winter wetsuit, with materials and reinforcements that make it suitable for frequent use throughout the cold season.
Size Guide – NeilPryde Men's Wetsuits
Use the table below to choose the correct size for your NeilPryde wetsuit. Always take measurements on bare skin or with a very thin layer.
How to measure
- Height: measure from head to heels while standing, without shoes.
- Chest: measure the widest point of the chest, keeping the tape measure horizontal.
- Waist: measure the waist at the narrowest point, without pulling the tape measure too tight.
If you are between two sizes, for use in cold water choose the tighter one; for maximum comfort when dressing, you can consider the more comfortable one.
