What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I threw the 101 Absolute Natural Jacket over a spring suit for a cooler morning session, and the stretch was immediately noticeable in a good way. It moves completely with you through paddling and popping up, and the zipperless entry means there is nothing digging into you, no matter how you are positioned on the board."When the morning air is cool, and the water temperature sits right on that edge, a thin layer can be the difference between a comfortable two-hour session and cutting it short after forty-five minutes. The Billabong 101 Absolute Natural Jacket is that layer, designed to pair with your existing wetsuit setup or wear alone on warmer days when you just need a little extra coverage through the shoulders and core. What makes this jacket worth talking about goes beyond just warmth. The body is constructed from a blend of 85% natural Hevea rubber and soy bean oil, a more earth-conscious approach to neoprene alternatives that does not ask you to trade away stretch or durability to get there. Upcycler Pro Stretch runs throughout the entire jacket, delivering a four-way give that follows every paddle stroke and duck dive without resistance. Flatlock stitching keeps seams low profile against the skin, and reinforced melco spot tape at high stress points adds longevity right where the suit takes the most abuse over a season of regular use.
