Stardupp HIPE OWS Long John 3/2mm Wetsuit Men

The wetsuit for maximum freedom of movement

The Stardupp HIPE OWS Long John 3/2mm is designed for watersport enthusiasts who want complete freedom of movement while keeping their core warm. This sleeveless wetsuit is based on our open water swim line and is built to feel light, flexible and comfortable in the water.

No restrictive sleeves during rotation. No stiff feeling around your shoulders. Just freedom where you need it most.

Smoothskin neoprene for less drag and a lighter feel

While many standard wetsuits feature a textile outer layer, this Long John is finished with smoothskin neoprene on the outside.

You notice the difference as soon as you enter the water. The smooth outer layer does not absorb water and moves more easily through it, allowing the suit to feel lighter even during longer sessions. At the same time, it fits snug and athletic on the body without feeling heavy or bulky.

Why choose a Long John?

A Long John is ideal if you rely heavily on upper body movement and want maximum shoulder mobility without sacrificing warmth around your torso.

With this design, you benefit from:

• Full freedom in shoulders and arms

• Less restriction during paddling and pulling movements

• Better ventilation on warmer days

• Targeted insulation around chest, core and upper legs

Thanks to the added mobility and ventilation, a Long John is especially suitable for warmer conditions or high-intensity sessions. You stay warm where it matters, while feeling less restricted than in a fullsuit.

3/2mm thickness: ideal for warmer conditions

The combination of 3mm neoprene on the torso and 2mm on the legs makes this wetsuit perfect for warm summer days and mild conditions. Your core stays comfortably warm, while the sleeveless design allows your body to regulate heat more effectively.

The suit fits close to the body and traps a thin layer of water that is warmed by your own body heat. This keeps you comfortable during longer or more demanding sessions without feeling heavy or overheated.

Developed for open water swimming, suitable for dynamic watersports

The HIPE OWS series was originally developed as an open water swim wetsuit, which explains its lightweight and flexible character.

But you will also benefit from these features in all other dynamic watersports. This becomes clear in activities such as:

• SUP

• Kayaking

• Wakeboarding

• Waterskiing

• Windsurfing

• Kitesurfing

• Wingfoiling

Especially in sports that require constant arm movement and upper body rotation, a Long John truly stands out.

Fit and care

A wetsuit should fit snugly for optimal insulation. If it is too loose, you will lose warmth and the suit may shift during movement.

Smoothskin neoprene is flexible but slightly more delicate than neoprene with a textile outer layer. Take your time when putting it on, avoid using your fingernails and work the material up gradually.

Rinse the suit with fresh water after use and let it dry out of direct sunlight to extend its lifespan.

Tip: If you go open water swimming, combine this wetsuit with the Stardupp Swim Buoy for extra visibility and safety in the water.
