Here at NCW we’re constantly tweaking, adding, subtracting and improving designs. In this instance, we’re talking about the ever popular Gulf Stream 5/3mm wetsuit that’s been updated for 2021.
We’ll be honest: we weren’t sure these were going to be in stock just yet due to logistical issues with imports. If you’re not aware there’s a snarl up in ports across the UK meaning products are getting delayed. And not just wetsuits either. This applies to a lot of things. Fortunately, however, these brand new NCW Gulf Stream 5/3mm have landed.
