Finisterre Nieuwland Wetsuit Delivers Flush Resistance & Longevity, Review Finds
CARDIFF, CALIFORNIA – A recent review published on Surfer.com highlights the performance and durability of the 3mm finisterre Nieuwland Yulex wetsuit, praising its remarkable flush resistance and long-lasting flexibility.The reviewer, a seasoned surfer with experience in cold water conditions, found the suit to be a standout in the eco-friendly wetsuit market.
The Nieuwland suit’s flush-resistant opening was a key feature noted in the review. Despite testing in overhead surf, the reviewer reported no instances of water flushing through the suit’s opening. This is attributed to Finisterre’s design focus,stemming from their origins in the frigid waters of England.
Compared to previous experiences with Yulex suits from Patagonia and NeedEssentials,the Finisterre suit offered a noticeably different level of stretch and flexibility from the initial wear. While Yulex suits typically require a break-in period, the Nieuwland felt “solid in all the right places” promptly and maintained that feel after over 35 uses. The product listing accurately predicted a “tight fit when new” that woudl “loosen after 10-15 wears.”
The review recommends the suit for SoCal-based surfers seeking a high-performance, eco-conscious option. It also suggests considering thicker Finisterre suits for colder climates (55°F or below).
Priced at $435, the Nieuwland wetsuit positions itself between entry-level and ultra-premium options. The reviewer predicts the suit’s longevity will surpass typical entry-level wetsuits,making it a worthwhile investment. The suit’s distinct blue color is subtle in the water, with only light branding on the left sleeve visible.
Finisterre emphasizes environmental obligation, appealing to consumers who prioritize sustainability alongside performance.
