The Billabong Absolute 4/3 mm Front Zip is Billabong's mid-range winter suit, with front chest zip for superior sealing against water entry. Designed for riders in the water throughout the cold season in Mallorca who want a good balance of warmth, flexibility and price.

Technology. Construction with Graphene liner in core and thighs to retain heat, leaving shoulders without lining to maintain paddle mobility. GBS seams (Glued and Blind Stitched) sealed internally with Super-Flex Neo Tape. Mix of Silicone Stretch, Recycled Pro Stretch and SMART Foam neoprene. Non-toxic adhesives.

In the water. The Front Zip system (chest zip) closes the neck entry better, so less water gets in than a back zip — good choice if you do long sessions or frequent wipeouts (kite, wing, surf). In exchange, it takes a bit more effort to put on. The 4/3 mm covers full Mallorca winter, with water between 14 and 18°C.

Against Furnace Comp and Launch — how we see it at El Niño Mallorca. The Absolute sits between Launch/Intruder (entry range) and Furnace Comp (top, warmer and lighter). It's the honest option for the rider in the water all winter without paying top-tier prices. If you're torn between Front Zip and Back Zip, or unsure about size for your height and weight, reach out on WhatsApp or stop by the shop in Pollença — we'll confirm before you order.
