RRD Amazone Chest Zip 3/2 Overknee Y27
3/2 mm Women's Wetsuit – Overknee Chest Zip
The RRD Amazone C/Z 3/2 Overknee Y27 is the summer version of the Amazone, with an overknee cut designed to eliminate the annoying “elephant leg” effect. It offers the right protection against cold water, wind and UV rays, while remaining extremely flexible on the arms and shoulders for a lightweight feel in all disciplines.
Main features
- 3/2mm thickness: 3mm on the torso and core areas for minimal insulation, 2mm on the arms and flex zones for maximum mobility.
- Overknee cut with leg ending below the knee: prevents water from rising up the leg and the neoprene from filling with water, creating the “elephant leg” effect.
- Chest zip closure for great freedom of movement on the shoulders and better water resistance than the back zip.
- Minimal seam design: the number of seams is reduced to a minimum to increase elasticity, comfort and durability.
- Ultra-soft and super-stretch I-Foam limestone neoprene, specific for the Amazone women's line, for a snug and natural fit.
- Glued and blindstitched external seams that guarantee flexibility and a good level of waterproofness.
- Internal stress areas reinforced with heat-sealed neotape to protect seams and skin from possible irritation.
- Main side and knee seams sealed with external liquid rubber to prevent fraying and improve water resistance.
- 360° ultra-stretch back panel for a continuous soft feel as you twist your torso.
- Double-lined chest and back for added comfort and durability in the most exposed areas.
- Slim profile reinforced knee pads to protect the wetsuit without limiting knee flexion.
Why choose the Amazone 3/2 Overknee Y27
- Ideal as a summer or late spring/early autumn wetsuit for those who want freer legs, no neoprene on calves and ankles and zero “elephant legs”.
- Perfect for those who often wear ankle boots or have large calves: the overknee cut reduces neoprene overlap and improves comfort and mobility.
- Designed for riders and athletes who require high performance, comfort and great freedom of movement in all board sports disciplines.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wetsuits
For what temperatures is the Amazone C/Z 3/2 Overknee Y27 suitable?
The 3/2 mm thickness is suitable for temperate/warm water, approximately between 17°C and 23°C, based on personal sensitivity, wind and duration of the session.
Why choose an overknee model instead of a full 3/2?
The overknee cut eliminates the bulk of the neoprene on the calves and ankles, improves freedom of movement of the legs and reduces the accumulation of water in the lower parts of the suit.
Is the chest zip closure comfortable to use?
After a few outings it becomes second nature: it offers enough opening to get in and out easily, while ensuring a warmer and more snug fit on the back than the back zip.
Can I use it for surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and wing foiling?
Yes, the Amazone 3/2 Overknee is designed as an all-round summer wetsuit for all disciplines, with particular attention to freedom of movement in the arms and shoulders.
How do I choose the right size?
Compare your height, weight, chest, waist, and hips with the RRD women's size chart; the wetsuit should fit snugly but not so tight as to restrict breathing or shoulder movement.
