3MM XERO Furnace Wetsuit - Men's

When the water starts slipping to late-fall temps, you need a warm suit like the Billabong 3mm Xero Furnace Men's Wetsuit. The Furnace is Billabong's warmest series, and the suits are divided into two, three, and four millimeter thicknesses so you can stay warm in all but the coldest waters.

The three-millimeter suit is designed for water temperatures between 52 and 58 degrees, and is made from the same durable, super-stretchy AX1 Airlite Superflex neoprene as most of Billabong's other wetsuits. It also makes use of the same pre-formed panels, strategically placed seams, contour collar, and fused ankle edges, but that's where the similarities end.

Since it's designed for colder waters, the Xero Furnace uses Drymax Furnace, a full five-layer thermal lining with Airlite foam and carbon membranes, to help keep you warm when the weather's not at its friendliest. It also incorporates wind-resistant Xero Skin panels on the chest, back, and kidneys for additional warmth on breezy days. The colder the temperature, the less water movement you want, so Billabong made sure the Furnace was its most waterproof suit by creating the Xero Dry entry system, which uses a two-layer waterproof membrane to seal water out without making the suit harder to get into. There are also liquid-dipped wrist seals, a contour collar, and fused ankle and collar edges to prevent any extra water getting in or out, and all the seams are stitchless, welded, and covered with Airlite Superflex tape to reduce bulk, increase flexibility, and guard against sneaky H2O entry.
