The Zepha is Tiki’s premium model in their wetsuit range, designed and proven in the harsh winter Atlantic by team riders and XXL nominated big wave surfer Andrew Cotton over the last 8 years. This is the second version of the model loaded with high spec design features for the serious surfer who wants warmth and comfort on a daily basis.
This 5/4/3mm model has 5mm thick neoprene in the core body with 4mm in the legs and 3mm in the arms making it a good choice for all seasons in most of the UK. It comes in black with purple Tiki branding on chest, back and arms.
BUILT FOR WARMTH - the Zepha2 features a super snugg and comfy lining through the core and legs to retain body heat, with high spec seams featuring liquid seals and neoprene tape hand glued to internal seams to minimise/eliminate any water penetration. It also feature Wristy Cuffs, tapered neoprene cuffs to minimise water entry up the arms.
FLEXIBLE WHERE NEEDED - The easy entry back zip system saves time and grunting when getting changed, with a full length zip flap to prevent any water entry. The Super XTEND soft touch neoprene is designed for extra flex where needed, teamed with a well thought out fit pattern means this suit is super comfortable and feels great when paddling.
BUILT FOR USE DAILY - The Double Lock Glued & Double Blindstitched seam construction is designed for extra durability, and the quick dry lining means you can minimise the potential for a dreaded cold wet wetsuit. The Duratech high abrasion resistant panels protect the knee areas and should last the test of time.
B360 TEST TEAM REVIEW
"This is my first 5mm winter suit and I love it!! I’ve got the surf bug now and want to go throughout the year and not just summer. We’ve only ever had 3mm summer suits before as Dad said 3mm would do us for the summer, so I was a bit worried 5mm might be a bit claustrophobic. But the Zepha is super comfortable and flexible I don’t really notice the step up from the 3mm suits, although I definitely notice the step up in warmth! The lining is really comfortable and warm, with boots and gloves I’ve managed to surf all through the winter" Macedog
SUITABLE FOR
Usage |
Atlantic and English Channel coastline: Autumn/Winter/Spring/(Summer see below) North Sea coastline: Summer/Autumn. Water Temperature: 8-16 degrees |
Spend Level |
The Tiki Zepha2 is a high spec suit but Tiki have managed to keep the price below what you’d expect from other brands. Really good value if you can stretch your budget. |
Personal Preference |
If you feel the cold more than most then this will do you through the summer months too, with only those freak heatwave days in July & August likely to be a tad too warm, although you can always flush some water through to cool off. |
ECO DETAILS
- Limestone based neoprene which is PAH free
