Shield 2.2 Zipfree Wetsuit Description
The Shield Zipfree wetsuit has quickly become known as the “Super Hero” wetsuit for its lightweight, flexibility and full-on performance. It has the warmth of traditional 3mm wetsuits. Skeptical? Just ask those in lineup. You will be surprised.
The Shield extends the “Arms Up” design for virtually zero shoulder restriction and applies it to the back panel of the suit. For even more freedom of movement through the chest and shoulders.
The Zipfree wetsuit features Yamamoto #40 and #39 neoprene. #40 Yamamoto is in the upper torso, with 25% more stretch for easier paddling.
The new improved entry creates a better water-tight seal. While still providing increased mobility and freedom of movement through the chest and shoulders.
The Zipfree Shield just might change how you think about your wetsuits.

The Best Wetsuits for Bad Shoulders
Testimony from the World Surf League Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Warren Kramer M.D.
World Surf League Orthopedic Surgeon
Newport Beach, CA, September 6, 2019
I've been fortunate enough to have used a lot of wetsuits. Beginning with the O'neill beavertail through the stiff fullsuits of the late 20th century, up to the present time. Many suits have their gimmicks: quick dry, neck gators, tight wrist and ankle cuffs, but they're still the same ill-fitting, moderately flexible suit.
Then a quantum leap occurred.
Isurus created a surgical glove
It's also exceptionally warm, with the flexibility in the shoulder and hips where it's needed.
As the Orthopedic Surgeon for the ASP/WSL for the last 25 years, I've seen a multitude of injuries from tight, poor fitting suits. The cut and stitch pattern is superb to allow exceptional flexibility through the shoulders. This decreases the risk of impingement syndrome and rotator cuff damage. The zipper less entry and exit is also very flexible around the shoulder which also decreases the risk of rotator cuff or labral damage.
I have also experienced myself the low back stiffness that occurs with a poorly fit wetsuit that allows low back chill. Even though the Shield is only a 2/2, the stitch and paneling is done to maximize fit with optimal warmth to the low back area.
Spend a little bit more on this fabulous suit rather than in my office with your shoulder pain. Buying quality never goes out of style. I rarely give testimonials, but I believe in Isurus wetsuits.
I don’t do surgery in garden gloves.
You shouldn’t surf in a suboptimal wetsuit
