The Billabong Absolute 4/3 mm Back Zip in blue colorway is the back-zip version from Billabong's mid-range line. Same 4/3 mm thickness for Mallorca winter, but with back-entry — easier and faster to put on/remove than a front zip.

Technology. Graphene liner lining in core and thigh zones to retain heat, unlined shoulders to preserve paddle flexibility. GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched) seams sealed internally with Super-Flex Neo Tape. Blend of Silicone Stretch, Recycled Pro Stretch neoprene, and SMART Foam core. Non-toxic adhesives.

In the water. Back-zip entry makes putting on and removing much easier, especially at the end of your session when tired and cold. Downside: slightly more water enters at the neck than a front zip — small but real difference. It's the logical choice if you windsurf, wing, or SUP where you're not fully submerged. The 4/3 mm covers Mallorca winter at 14-18°C.

Back Zip vs Front Zip vs Furnace Comp — our take at El Niño Mallorca. Back Zip is more comfortable to put on; Front Zip seals better. If you enter and exit water multiple times or prioritize comfort, this is your suit. Above the Absolute is the Furnace Comp (warmer and lighter); below are Launch/Intruder entry-level ranges.
