Cold session, biting wind, dark water… and you warm under the hood. The GURU+ 5/4/3 with hood is the suit that lets you ride when everyone else is packing up.
Between two cable laps, you mainly feel the pop, not the cold. The GURU+ Hood in Oysterprene Y8 keeps the warmth without weighing you down. The Chest-Zip stays dry on the chest, the integrated hood fits well and cuts the gusts on the docks. On a long tow after a kicker, you keep your arms free and your head warm. Simple. Effective.
Want to compare with a model without a hood for the mid-seasons? Check out the SOORUZ - GURU+ FULL SUIT ORGANIC OYSTERPRENE 5/4. And if you prefer a more classic front zip, the SOORUZ - FLY+ 5/4mm FZ does the job. The entire selection is in 5/4 Men’s Suits.
The Oysterprene Y8 foam provides warmth and flexibility. You pump on a rail, bending your knees fully without fighting against the suit.
The Storm-Dry covers from the chest to the ankles and also the inside of the hood. Result on the water: continuous comfort, even at the end of the session when your arms start to heat up.
The Black Diamond panel on the back is flexible, water-repellent, and windproof. Just what you need when it’s blowing at the park.
The Chest-Zip closes high and clean. You dive, you come back up to the dock: it stays in place, no surprise flush on the chest.
GBS glued-stitched, soft neoprene band reinforcements inside, and an outer glue line: you ride, the suit follows. You forget about sneaky little water entries.
Fused edge sleeves that fit well, embossed knees to keep flex on landing. A detail that changes everything on a kicker-rail sequence.

For the one who rides early, late, in the middle of winter, and wants an integrated hood to stay focused on their kicks. If you move a lot at the park and want to keep flex in your landings, this GURU+ checks the boxes. And if the water is really cold, add the 5mm Zipped Boots RT LC and go for it.
No, the hood is integrated into the suit. It is lined with Storm-Dry for more comfort and warmth, and works in tandem with the chest zip to limit water entry. Handy when the wind picks up at the cable or on a well-exposed body of water.
Yes, it’s a 5/4/3 mm full suit designed for cold sessions. The Black Diamond back panel helps against the wind, the Oysterprene Y8 foam remains flexible, and the GBS seams limit water entry. It keeps flex for landings on kicker, rail, and slider.
Put one leg in, then the other, pull up to the hips, put one arm in, then your head and the second arm. Bring the panel over your chest and zip it up. Check the fit of the hood and the fused edge sleeves for a good fit and less water entry.
According to the sheet, the available sizes are XS, S, MS, M, MT, LS, L, LT, XL, and XXL. Choose close to your body shape: the suit should be close-fitting without excessive folds, to retain warmth and mobility. If you hesitate between two, aim for the fitted one.
Rinse with fresh water, turn it inside out to dry in the shade, then turn it right side out to finish drying. Avoid direct heat sources. Close the Chest-Zip when storing it. Simple maintenance prolongs the flexibility of the Oysterprene Y8 and GBS seams.
