What if your wetsuit never held you back?
No pull. No restriction. No stiffness halfway through your best session. No flushing. Just you, the wave, and total freedom of movement — from the first paddle to the last wave.
The Lunasurf Core-X ARC-Zip is built for surfers who want more from the water — more waves, more flow, more time in the surf. It moves with your body, not against it. Pop up faster. Turn sharper. Paddle longer. Every movement feels natural, easy, and unrestricted. And when the session's over, you'll wonder why you ever settled for anything less.
At Lunasurf, we believe the best wetsuit is the one you forget you're wearing. Light. Warm. Unrestricted. Built to move exactly as your body moves in the water — so you can focus on the surf, not the suit.
📦 Free shipping on all wetsuits.
Instead of a straight zipper pulling across the shoulders, the ARC-Zip follows a smooth, ergonomic arc that sits away from high-movement zones — just pure, unrestricted movement.
The ARC-Zip is designed for effortless entry and exit — fast, frustration-free, and secure. It seals completely across the shoulders, locking warmth in and preventing cold-water flushing, without any of the restriction you'd expect from a traditional zip system.
Built using 3D anatomical body paneling designed to mirror natural human movement. Each panel works with your body, not against it — creating a second-skin feel that stays comfortable in and out of the water.
Constructed entirely from 100% premium Yamamoto limestone neoprene — warmer and more durable than standard neoprene — the Core-X ARC-Zip offers industry-leading warmth, softness, and stretch without unnecessary thickness or weight.
The Core-X 5/4 Hooded Arc Zip isn't just another winter suit. Made from premium Yamamoto limestone neoprene, it delivers:
The built-in hood locks in heat and reduces flushing around the neck. The integrated lip warmer is an extended neoprene flap that shields your lips and lower face from wind chill and freezing water. Flip it up when you need it, tuck it under your chin when you don't. A premium feature found on serious cold-water wetsuits.
This is a suit built for surfers who don't check the temperature — they check the charts.
Extra insulation for colder water and longer sessions. Maximum freedom of movement, uncompromised.

3D body paneling moves naturally with your body for a second-skin fit. Made from 100% YAMAMOTO Limestone Neoprene, it’s soft, ultra-stretchy, lightweight, and warm—without bulk or restriction.
Less bulk. More freedom.
Once you wear the Luna ARC-Zip, you’ll forget it’s even there. Surf longer, move freer, stay loose, warm, comfortable - and stoked - through every session.
Super Light Weight ECO friendly Non-Petroleum based Japanese limestone neoprene with the perfect balance between warmth, stretch and durability.
Rubber made from the purest Japanese limestone.
The limestone that YAMAMOTO use is sourced from Mt. Kurohime, which stores billion tons of the purest Japanese limestone. Out of such purest limestone, YAMAMOTO only uses the highest-grade limestone, containing 99.7% of calcium carbonate.
The closed cells are packed together at an extremely high density and each individual cell is filled with nitrogen gas to prevent water penetration and increase heat retention. The nitrogen closed cell content is over 93% — over 30% higher than most competing materials — and with virtually no water absorption means the weight of this rubber remains nearly identical in wet or dry conditions, giving you more warmth than thicker wetsuits without the weight.
Yamamoto Corporation’s neoprene rubber is classified as (CR) “chloroprene rubber.” The special rubber incorporates an independent closed cell structure which adds high functionality including super light weight, high heat‐retention with good flexibility neoprene.
Sustainability
Our wetsuits are crafted from environmentally conscious 100% Japanese Limestone Neoprene from Yamamoto.
The limestone is made from Mt. Kurohime which stores billion tons of the purest limestone.
From the purest limestone, YAMAMOTO only uses the highest-grade limestone, containing 99.7% of calcium carbonate.
Although certain amount of oil is needed to make soft rubber foam, YAMAMOTO stopped using petroleum-derived oil. Instead, YAMAMOTO uses food-grade pure Canola oil, which is widely used as Tempura oil in Japan for sustainability and safety.
When making CR neoprene from limestone, it requires a lot of energy. To reduce environmental impact, most of the energy used comes from renewable energy sources such as hydroelectricity.
Our beautiful blue sea is now in danger of being covered by marine debris.
It is estimated that there are 150 million tons of plastic waste in the ocean and at least 8 million tons are flowing in the ocean annually. Reference: WWF Japan WEB site "About marine plastic problems"
YAMAMOTO is working on recycled jersey materials to reduce pollution of the ocean and to let more people to be aware of this issue. It is estimated that the number of marina debris is going to exceeds the one of fish in 2050.
YAMAMOTO will continue to work on solutions to conserve our beautiful ocean.

"I bought the 5/4 hooded for a trip in January to the most northern reaches of Scotland. The suit feels like one piece which really helped with the wind and stoped any flushing in bigger surf. I was most impressed with its warmth, even sitting in a windy session for 3 hours with long waits between sets I was incredibly warm. This suit combined with the Luna 8mm boots and there is no limited to session length."
"So happy with this suit, it’s the best suit I’ve had yet. Really warm and incredibly stretchy but the best bit is the ease of getting into it and the lack of restriction in the shoulder area. It fits so well and is so comfortable - it feels like you're not wearing anything - incredible suit! And ridiculously warm."
"The best way I can describe this 5mm suit is as a 2 mm with no arms - it’s that weightless - love it"
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Yes the 4mm hooded was designed for UK winters. Men and Women in Iceland, Norway and Scotland are doing full winters purely in the Lunasurf all 4mm hooded wetsuit. If you are prone to the cold you could always opt for the Lunasurf 5.4mm or 6.4mm hooded wetsuit.
A wetsuit is supposed to be tight, skin tight. But not so tight that your range of motion is inhibited or restricts your breathing. The sleeves (if full-length) should fall at the wrist bone and the legs just above the ankle, and there should be no gaps, pockets, or rolls of neoprene. Wetsuits are meant to be form fitting. You don’t want loose folds of neoprene, or large pockets of air or water in your wetsuit.
When you are first trying it on dry it is important to understand that once a wetsuit has been used a few times it will loosen up and feel more comfortable. With use the wetsuit will stretch to your body becoming form fitting.
We offer FREE standard shipping worldwide on all wetsuits. You will also have the option to upgrade to premium DHL paid service for an express delivery.
Yes we offer a 12 month warranty on materials and manufacturing, We do not cover misuse, fin cuts or any damage caused by hitting the reef.
We have designed our wetsuit wrists to prevent flushing or ripping (when wearing thick 7mm gloves/mitts). This means initially they could feel tight but they will loosen with use. You can also gently pull the wrists to widen/loosen.
Yes it will fit in the hood. The most comfortable way is with a low bun rather than on the top of the head.
Wash it out with clean, cold water after every surf. Hang dry from the waist try to avoid hanging from the shoulders on a hanger. Don't dry it out in direct sunlight, Don't machine wash/dry, Don't use detergents.
Yes providing that the wetsuit has NOT been used or damaged. You are welcome to swap sizes if you didn't get it right first time. Return postage is your responsibility
Lunasurf Wetsuits are awesome things, with today’s technology we can stay warm and have fun in the coldest of conditions. You can feel light, loose and warm unlike the wetsuits of yesteryear. Our wetsuits are 100% made using only the best Yamamoto Japanese limestone based neoprene's. That are then lined with a water/wind repelling buttery, stretchy lining that insulates you from the cold water water, air temps and winds. Your Wetsuit is made up of panels of Neoprene. Wetsuits are not designed to keep you entirely dry. A small amount of water gets trapped between your body and the neoprene. Your body temperature then heats up this small amount of water giving you a nice warm feeling. This is why finding the correct fitting Wetsuit is absolutely essential. Heat does eventually escape through the neoprene but very much like clothing the thicker the Neoprene the warmer you will be.
