TEST PILOT CHECK-IN: WOMEN'S LONG SLEEVE SURFSUIT
Our first ever female test pilots have been putting their suits to the test for the last few weeks. We checked in with a few of them to see how the Women's Long Sleeve Surfsuit has been performing in all conditions.
Katie Pere - North Shore, Oahu - Waterwoman, Outrigger Paddler, Stunt Double
"Got it and love it so far! Excited to try in all the ways. The suit is pretty chilly once it gets wet and you're hanging on beach. Do you think you guys might make it in a super thin wetsuit-ish material? That might be ideal for surfing over here [in Hawaii]. I've been wearing it a bunch!"

"I just got off of work where I was wearing it all day. I couldn't believe how comfortable it was even after hours of wearing it. It stayed put and didn't ride up, so the only time I remembered I was wearing it was when I was getting compliments on it. I truly haven't found a suit that fits this well so you guys did a phenomenal job. I wish I had some constructive feedback to give but I have nothing at the moment."
Emily Lansdown - Eleuthera, Bahamas - Marine Biologist, Diver
"I'm loving the suit so far! It is a perfect fit. I love the weight and feel of the fabric, it feels soft without being slippery. The arms are a perfect fit without being too tight and too long. The only thing I am struggling with right now is the legs rolling up as I'm getting in and out of the boat all the time."
Kayla Coscino - Laguna Beach, CA - Surfer, Prone Paddler
"It has been awesome to work with the Florence design team, along with Lauryn, Mahina, and Alex Florence, to develop Florence's first women's product. The surfsuit has exceeded my exceptions. The cut and fit is perfect for being active, from surfing to paddling to taking it on trips and traveling with it. One of my favorite parts about this suit is that I can bring just one piece with me wherever I go, instead of having to pack a top, a bottom, and a rashguard. It makes me reach for it over all my other suits."
We are excited to continue revising, improving, and evolving the Women's Long Sleeve Surfsuit with our test pilots over the next few weeks. Stay tuned for information on the release date of the Women's Long Sleeve Surfsuit.
Hey Florence Team,
I am stoked your bringing this to market. Love the cut of this suit and totally something I would wear for surfing. I hope you will bring out a hooded version of this suit just like the men have in their rashy range! So much stoke and thanks for designing something for the ladies. Yewww
Catch ya around

Please make it in black or black and grey !
I live on a sailboat 24/7, currently Fiji. Other wetsuits, gear seems to last one season for me, zippers stop working, fabric stretches and tears, …Curious about the durability. Also, protection for hands?
Hello) i want green one so bad)
Please make a suit with longer legs. Also surf pants in women’s. Not every women has perfect legs and or wants to protect them from the sun. Mahalo!
