    Product Information

    When the water starts to cool and you still want to get out there, the Billabong Womens Launch 3/2mm GBS Back Zip Steamer is a solid entry-level option built for surfers who need reliable warmth without the premium price tag. Constructed from partially recycled Superlight Foam neoprene, this suit delivers 250% stretch and genuine thermal retention, making it well suited to the cooler waters you'll find in southern Australia or during winter swells anywhere along the coast. The GBS (glued and blind stitched) seam construction minimises sew-throughs, reducing water ingress at the seams and keeping you warmer for longer. It's a well-specced suit for the price point, with thoughtful details like a chafe-resistant collar, reinforced kneepads, and internal key loop that make it practical day to day.

    Billabong Womens Launch 3/2mm GBS Back Zip Steamer Key Features

    • Thickness: 3/2mm neoprene throughout, suited to water temperatures of 16°C and above. Ideal for temperate to cool Australian conditions, covering most of the country during spring, autumn, and mild winter surf sessions.
    • Partially Recycled Superlight Foam Neoprene: The core foam uses partially recycled materials, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance. The Superlight Foam offers 250% stretch for a flexible, comfortable fit in the water.
    • Durable Superflex Jersey Exterior: The outer skin uses a Superflex 250 jersey, which offers low water absorption and added insulation. Less waterlogging means the suit stays lighter and warmer during your session.
    • Silicon Stretch Jersey Lining: The interior is lined with a silicone stretch and quick-dry fabric that moves with your body and dries faster between sessions, improving comfort and reducing that cold, clammy feeling.
    • Triple Glued and Blind Stitched (GBS) Seams: Seams are triple glued and blind stitched, meaning the needle doesn't penetrate all the way through the neoprene. This significantly reduces water flushing through the seams, keeping you warmer in cooler conditions.
    • Reinforced Melco Spot Tape at High Stress Points: Internal spot-taping is applied at critical seam junctions and high-stress zones to extend the life of the suit and prevent seam failure in areas most prone to wear.
    • #10 YKK Full Back Zip: A heavy-duty #10 YKK back zip provides a secure, reliable entry and exit. Back zip suits are easy to get in and out of and are a practical choice for surfers who value simplicity.
    • Adjustable Neck and Chafe-Resistant Collar: The collar is designed to sit comfortably against the skin during extended sessions, with adjustability to customise the fit around the neck and minimise irritation.
    • Durable Kneepads: Reinforced kneepads protect the neoprene in the area most prone to abrasion, particularly during duck diving and paddling on rough board surfaces.
    • Internal Key Loop: A small but practical detail, the internal key loop lets you secure a key inside the suit so you can leave valuables locked in the car while you surf.
    • Materials: 80% Neoprene, 20% Nylon.

    The Billabong Launch 3/2mm is a dependable, well-constructed steamer for women looking for everyday warmth and flexibility in one package. Whether you're a developing surfer heading into your first cooler-season sessions or a regular who wants a reliable backup suit, the Launch ticks the boxes where it counts.

    • Exterior Fabric Type: Durable Superflex jersey
    • Neoprene Foam Type: Partially recycled Superlight Foam
    • Interior Fabric Type: Silicon Stretch jersey lining
    • Exterior Seam Detail: Triple glued & blindstitched (GBS) seams

    • Materials: 80% Neoprene, 20% Nylon
    • Water Temp Rating: 60 Degrees & Up

    What water temperatures is the Billabong Launch 3/2mm steamer suited to?

    This wetsuit is rated for water temperatures of 16°C (60°F) and above, making it well suited to cool Australian surf conditions. The 3/2mm neoprene thickness — 3mm through the core and 2mm in the arms — balances warmth with the flexibility needed for paddling and surfing in temperate waters.

    How do the GBS seams on this wetsuit reduce water entry?

    GBS stands for Glued and Blindstitched — the seams are triple glued and blindstitched so the needle doesn't pass all the way through the neoprene. This significantly reduces the number of sew-throughs compared to flatlock stitching, meaning less cold water can seep in through the seam lines during a session.

    What materials and foam does the Billabong Launch use, and why does it matter?

    The wetsuit is made from 80% neoprene and 20% nylon, using partially recycled Superlight Foam that provides 250% stretch with good thermal retention. The exterior uses Superflex jersey for low water absorption and insulation, while the interior is lined with a silicone stretch, quick-dry jersey for comfort and warmth against the skin.

    What practical features does this wetsuit include for everyday surf use?

    The Launch includes a #10 YKK full back zip for easy entry and exit, a chafe-resistant adjustable collar, durable kneepads for longevity, and an internal key loop to keep your car key secure. Reinforced melco spot tape at high-stress seam junctions adds durability where the wetsuit is most likely to experience wear over time.
