Product Description
The O’Neill Bahia 2/1 Front Zip Long Sleeve Shorty Wetsuit is a stylish, easy-wearing summer suit designed for women who want a little more warmth and coverage while still keeping things light and comfortable. The long sleeves help take the edge off cooler water and breezy days, while the short legs keep it feeling free and unrestrictive.

The long front zip makes getting in and out incredibly simple — no awkward wriggling required — and also lets you control ventilation when you’re out of the water. The 2/1mm thickness adds warmth through the core while maintaining the flexibility and comfort that makes this suit so enjoyable to wear.

This isn’t a high-performance competition wetsuit — it’s designed for women swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, SUPing or simply enjoying time in and around the sea. It looks great on, layers easily over a bikini or swimsuit, and offers that extra bit of warmth and confidence on cooler summer days.

Expert Advice
This is a brilliant choice if you like the freedom of a shorty but want a bit more warmth than the short sleeve version.
