Description
The Mystic Surf Impact Short John is a unisex sleeveless, short-leg short john with zipless entry. Designed for big-wave surfers who want maximum padding: impact foam from 10 to 25 mm depending on the zone, to protect where the hits are hardest without losing flexibility. With flatlock seams and removable chest padding, it is comfortable to wear under a wetsuit as an extra layer of protection.
