Mystic Brand Shorty 3/2mm Back Zip Women 2026 | Short-Arm Summer Wetsuit

The Mystic Brand Shorty 3/2mm Back Zip Women 2026 is a short-arm, short-leg women's summer wetsuit and the most affordable suit in Mystic's entry-level Brand range. Short sleeves and short legs make it the one for the warmest days of the year — light core warmth and sun cover with maximum freedom for paddling, swimming and summer sessions. Available in Black, Deep Purple and Dark Olive.

It's made from stretchy M-Flex neoprene with flatlock seams and an easy back-zip — the same honest, no-frills build as the rest of the Mystic Brand line, and one of the best-value pieces in our women's wetsuits.

Who It's For

Discipline: SUP, wild swimming, summer kitesurfing and wingfoiling, warm-water surfing.
Level: beginner to intermediate, or anyone after a cheap-and-cheerful summer suit.
Best for: the warmest UK summer days and warm-water travel, where a full suit would cook you.

Key Features

• Short-arm, short-leg cut – minimal coverage for maximum freedom and cooler running on hot days.
• M-Flex neoprene – soft, stretchy rubber that moves with you.
• Flatlock seams – flat, comfortable, durable stitching ideal for warm water.
• Back-zip entry – wide rear zip for genuinely easy on and off.
• Lining saver – a velcro tab protects the neck lining between sessions.
• Female-specific fit – cut for a woman's shape rather than a downsized men's pattern.
• Three colours – Black, Deep Purple and Dark Olive.

Real-World Feel

A shorty earns its keep on those rare proper-warm UK days and on summer trips abroad. There's almost nothing to it, so you're free to paddle, swim and move without a scrap of restriction, while the thin core layer takes the edge off wind and sun. Flatlock seams flush a little — expected and fine when it's warm — and the M-Flex stretches nicely for the money. The back-zip keeps it fuss-free. It's the suit that lives in the car all summer.

Fit & Setup

It should fit snug without pinching at the shoulders or thighs, and still let you breathe out fully. Open the zip fully, step in, ease it up with flat hands, then zip by the cord. Available in XS–XL — size snug for a summer suit, and if you're between sizes go for the smaller. Message us your height and chest/waist for sizing help.

FAQs

What is a shorty wetsuit?
A shorty has short arms and short legs for minimal coverage — it gives light core warmth and sun protection while leaving your limbs free, which is ideal for the warmest days.

Is a 3/2mm shorty warm enough for the UK?
On warm mid-summer days, yes — it takes the edge off wind and sun. For cooler water you'll want a longarm shorty, a full 3/2mm, or thicker.

What colours does the Brand Shorty come in?
Black, Deep Purple and Dark Olive, in sizes XS–XL.

Does it have a female-specific fit?
Yes — it's cut to a woman's shape, with a wide back-zip for easy entry.

What size should I buy?
It runs XS–XL. Size snug to limit flushing, and if you're between sizes go smaller — message us your height and chest/waist for a hand.
