Need more warmth for mid-winter? The new Sooruz Guru Wind Hooded 6/5/4 FZ (W6) steps up to 6/5/4mm thickness with an integrated hood AND adds a windproof panel on both chest AND back (vs chest-only before). Same wind-sport specialisation — just warmer. The 5/4 below is the right pick for autumn / spring / milder winter sessions.

The Sooruz Guru Wind 5/4 in Black is Sooruz's most performing wetsuit for wind sports — purpose-built for wing-foiling, kitesurfing, and windsurfing rather than adapted from a surf wetsuit. Wind-specific features (velcro ankles, water vents on the calves, anti-tetanus forearm cut, Black Diamond protective outer texture) combine with Sooruz's flagship Örganic Oysterprene Ö8 neoprene and Storm Dry thermal lining. For paddlers who do most of their sessions out of the water, this is the suit that's been engineered for what you actually do.

Key features

• Örganic Oysterprene Ö8 neoprene — Sooruz's newest premium eco-foam, made from natural rubber and oyster shells. USDA certified with 63% organic content. Top-tier flex and warmth.
• Black Diamond outer texture — protective layer that handles the contact and abrasion of wind sports (board straps, harness, rig contact).
• Wind-specific design features:
  • Velcro ankles — keeps board spray and water out around the ankles (critical for kitesurfers and windsurfers)
  • Water vents on the calves — drains water that does get in, fast
  • Anti-tetanus cut on the forearms — generous cut for paddle/rig flexibility, reduces forearm fatigue
  • Thermofused sleeve ends and back-of-knees — extra flex without sacrificing seal
• Storm Dry inner lining — on upper thighs, abdomen, and back. Recycled polyester, quick-drying, warm.
• GBS seams (Glued and Blind Stitched) reinforced internally with ultra-soft neoprene strips
• Front-zip closure — better water-seal than back-zip across long sessions
• 5/4mm thickness — 5mm body, 4mm arms (note: slightly less flex than the 5/4/3 Guru Pro because the wind-sport build prioritises durability)

Specification

Honest advice from us

The Guru Wind is a specialist wetsuit — purpose-built for wind sports, not a general-use suit with wind features added. If most of your sessions are wing-foiling, kitesurfing, or windsurfing where you spend significant time on the board (rather than in the water), this suit's wind-specific design (velcro ankles, calf vents, Black Diamond outer texture) is genuinely meaningful. For deep winter at 6°C or below, step up to the hooded 6/5/4 Guru Wind linked above. For pure surfing or SUP, the standard Guru Pro 5/4/3 offers slightly more flex. Sooruz sizes run slim through the chest. 01492 588001 for sizing.

Pairs well with

A Sooruz wetsuit shampoo for proper aftercare (rinse with fresh water after every session) · A changing robe for car-park changing · Neoprene gloves and boots for shoulder/winter seasons · A wetsuit dry bag for the car
