In this review of the Hevto Wetsuits Men 3/2mm shorty, the bottom line is clear: this is a practical, no-frills wetsuit for warm to mildly cool open water activities where freedom of movement matters most.

For anyone wanting a dependable shorty that feels well made without extra bulk, this wetsuit is worth considering.

Key Features

• Front zipper: A rust-resistant metal zipper pull and front entry make the suit easy to put on and take off and reduce neck pressure compared with some back-zip styles.
• 2mm neoprene thermal protection: Thin neoprene provides warmth for warmer water temperatures while maintaining good range of motion for active sports.
• Double-sided nylon fabric: Smooth nylon on both sides boosts durability and feels comfortable against the skin for extended sessions.
• Elastic flatlock stitching: Reinforced seams offer stretch and comfort during paddling, swimming and diving without restricting movement.
• Multi-sport design: The shorty construction adds buoyancy and UV protection while remaining suitable for surfing, snorkeling, paddleboarding and casual diving.

Who It's For

The Hevto 3/2mm front zip shorty is aimed at recreational water users who need a versatile, easy-on wetsuit for warmer conditions. It works well for swimmers, snorkelers and paddleboarders who value flexibility and a snug fit that helps retain heat without the bulk of a full suit. The front zipper is especially helpful for users who prefer simpler entry and exit over a back zip or step-in style.

Those who require thick thermal insulation for prolonged exposure in very cold water, professional divers who need integrated features, or users seeking specialized seam sealing for cold-water spearfishing should look elsewhere. This shorty is optimized for activity and comfort in temperate, warmer water rather than for extreme cold protection.
