A New Vision of wetsuit zipper design
A new zipper system combining enhanced watertightness, easy entry, and maximum mobility.
Launching Winter 2026 on the GURU+ range, with potential expansion to additional models in 2027.
About it
Advanced Technical Innovation
The U-Zip is strategically positioned in a key performance zone, helping to reduce mechanical stress, increase the wetsuit’s durability, and enhance freedom of movement.
AVANTAGES
Optimum ease & mobility
Lighter and less bulky than traditional systems, the U-Zip effectively limits water entry, providing improved thermal protection compared to Chest Zip or Zip Free constructions.
It closes from shoulder to shoulder, preventing any accidental opening and significantly reducing water ingress — particularly during wipeouts.
The U-Zip features a next-generation YKK SOFLEX® zipper, designed to be thin and flexible. This certified innovation ensures outstanding quality and long-term reliability.
The increased flexibility and enhanced performance contribute to greater overall freedom of movement.
True to its commitment to innovation and performance, Soöruz introduces its own U-Zip version, combining advanced comfort with refined design.

Tom Laine – Product tester feedback :
“Extremely comfortable to surf in, with a significant increase in flexibility and less water entry compared to a Chest Zip — especially during wipeouts. It’s also easy to put on and take off, particularly around the neck, which requires less head twisting.”
