Quiksilver 3/2mm Marathon Sessions Chest Zip Wetsuit

The Marathon Sessions Chest Zip Wetsuit for Long Days in the Water

Searches for the Quiksilver Marathon Sessions 3/2 wetsuit tend to come from surfers who want a chest zip entry and reliable warmth for extended sessions, and this suit is built around exactly that. It uses a nylon elastane blend fabric over Stretchflight Eco neoprene foam, with a durable textured neoprene panel on the front and back designed to retain heat and block wind.

What It Is Made Of

Inside, the suit layers a Warmflight Eco Infrared Zoned Thermal Lining with a Warmflight Eco Velvet Zoned Thermal Lining for warmth where you need it most. The neoprene is limestone derived, Bluesign certified, and built with 24 percent less CO2 emissions per wetsuit, and the exterior seams use a Liquid Flex Seal taped construction for comfort and reduced leakage, backed by GBS glued and blind stitched interior seams with zoned taped internal seams.

Who Wears It and Where

This 3/2mm suit is built for the same cooler water stretches South Florida surfers deal with each year, when a full session in the lineup calls for real warmth without losing paddle range. The chest zip entry and mock neck keep water from flushing through the collar, which matters most on longer paddle outs and marathon length sessions.

Fit, Wear, and Care

Chest zip suits go on differently than a back zip, stretching the entry panel over the head and shoulders rather than stepping through a back opening, so take it slow the first time you put it on. The Aqua glue eco-friendly lamination bonds the seams, and rinsing the suit in fresh water after every session followed by hang drying out of direct sun keeps that lamination and the zoned lining performing.
