Nikki van Dijk Springsuit Boyleg - Aquamarine Gradient US-8 / AU-12 Reviews

4.2 Rating 11 Reviews
I had been eyeing this wetsuit for a long time and finally took the plunge when it went on sale. I really wanted to love it – the colour is stunning, and the neoprene feels high-quality. Unfortunately, I ended up rating it 3 stars because of the disappointing fit on the legs. For a product marketed as 'tailored to the female form,' I can’t help but wonder which form they had in mind. The leg design is tight and short, making it uncomfortable for anyone with thighs that touch. The length is not quite long enough to stay in place, which causes bunching and constant readjustment. It’s frustrating to have to pull down the legs every time they ride up – not ideal when I’m kitesurfing and need to focus on the water, not my wetsuit. As a kitesurfer who has tried countless brands, here’s a design tip: shorten the leg length to graze the upper thigh with modest butt coverage, or extend them by a couple of inches to stay in place better. It’s a small tweak, but it would make a big difference. I’ll have to modify mine by cutting the legs shorter for now, but I hope future versions offer a more comfortable fit.

Wow! Very comfortable & stylish. Was worried it was more of a surf suit, but took it for a 3 mi open water swim in cooler Downeast Maine waters right out of the package - no chafing & kept me warm while in water for an extended period of time.

I love this suit fits really well ( UK 12 5ft 6. “ 63kg) Very comfortable around the shoulders allowing easy freestyle stroke. I swim in the north atlantic all year round and wore this in on New year’s day- perfect!!!!

I haven't been able to test the wetsuit in the water yet, but the color is beautiful. Compared to the slightly more revealing summer wetsuit model this one cuts too much into my upper legs/thighs while fitting my upper torso perfectly. And if I size up to size 10 the leg cutting is less but then the waist is too big... Maybe if you have slimmer thighs or a bigger waist you don't have this problem... I like that the arms/sleeves are long enough, I have relatively long arms for my height.

First time wearing it today. Felt pretty comfy. Was cold out and kept me warm. The legs rolled up a bit at times and the neck was a bit scratchy where the velcro sits, but that's possibly just me not getting it done up quite right. Looks gorgeous. Glad for the fitting recommendation as I'd have gone for a 10, but the 12 seems a good fit.
