SOÖRUZ GURU+ 5/4 CZ OYSTERPRENE Women — ride warm, shoulder freedom

What makes the difference
Warmth and quick drying
The Storm-Dry lining made from recycled polyester covers from chest to ankles. You get back to the dock and it drains water quickly, you leave dry “as if”. The only thing that sticks is your smile after a good transfer.
Windproof and water-repellent back
The Black Diamond panel on the back blocks the wind and beads water. Between runs facing the breeze, you stay well protected while waiting to start.
Shoulder freedom, chest zip
The Chest-zip avoids the large back zipper. Result: freer shoulders on rotations and tow pulls, and less water entry when you come out of a slightly deep landing.
Strong waterproofing
GBS seams (stitched/glued), internal neoprene tape reinforcements, external gluing, and G6 HEAT-ON tape on all seams (except arms depending on configuration). You can take falls without it soaking the inside.
More responsible construction
Oysterprene foam, exterior made from recycled polyester and nylon, and water-based lamination (water glue). Simple, effective, ride-oriented.

For which rider?
For the cable/boat rider who keeps going when the water cools down and the wind picks up. You want thermal support without sacrificing arm mobility, a back that cuts through the air between runs, and seams that hold up when hitting sliders. If you're looking for a more “plug and play” option for winter with an integrated hood, check out the GURU+ Hood 5/4/3.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the zip located and what does it change in the water?
The GURU+ has a chest-zip, so the opening is on the chest. This placement limits water entry and frees the shoulders better than a large back zip. On the cable, you feel the difference on long pulls and rotations where you want to keep movement and breath in your arms.
Is the inner lining present everywhere?
The Storm-Dry lining made from recycled polyester is present from chest to ankles. The upper torso and legs benefit from real warmth and quick drying, while maintaining mobility to paddle to the start, get up quickly, and chain runs.
Are the seams really waterproof and durable?
Yes. The seams are GBS (stitched/glued), with reinforcements from internal neoprene tape, external gluing, and G6 HEAT-ON tape applied to all seams (except arms depending on configuration). This combo limits water entry very well and holds up during repeated sessions.
Does the back protect from the wind on the way back to the start?
Yes. The Black Diamond panel on the back is windproof and water-repellent. When you wait your turn facing the wind, it limits cold blasts and water sticking. You stay warmer between runs, and you go back focused on the line and the next kicker.
What materials are used and why is it interesting?
The foam is made from Oysterprene, with an exterior of recycled polyester and nylon. The lamination is done with water (water glue). You get a performance suit designed with more responsible materials and processes, without sacrificing warmth or flexibility on the cable.
