At the height of summer the waters around Higgins Beach, ME hover right around a brisk 56° F. An exposed beach break, the swells expose surfers to myriad hazards like rips and rocks, yet Higgins manages to assert itself as a local favorite season after season. If you're planning on tackling Maine's frigid coastline or dipping your toes into equally frosty swells in the PNW, you'll want to equip yourself with the Billabong Absolute 5/4 X CZ Hooded Wetsuit. With glued and blindstitched seams, an ultra quick-drying Hollow Yarn Thermal Lining, and highly wind resistant mesh, this 5/4 hooded wettie will let you linger a little longer in some of our country's most oppressive climes.
