Mystic Majestic
The Majestic offers the same Bionic Core Frame as the Majestic X model, but with the addition of a Roven glass fiber plate for increased freedom of movement. Whether you're a wave rider or prefer freestyle, the Majestic is a harness that you won't want to miss out on. In terms of updates, the side covers now include a convenient…
Mystic Jayde Fullsuit / Frontzip
When the water temperature has a bit of a bite, but it is not quite cold enough for that winter wetsuit, the Jayde Fullsuit 3/2mm from Mystic will be your perfect choice. This front zip wetsuit is Mystic's highest-performing wetsuit for women, featuring updated streamlined graphics. My test model came in the navy colour with a lilac tie-dye print on…
Mystic Marshall Fullsuit Front Zip
The Marshall series of suits from Mystic aims to put quality products in the hands of the riders without the high price tag. Packed with features and built to Mystic's exacting standards and now available in new colour options, the Marshall Fullsuit 3/2mm Fzip allows individuals to stand out from the crowd. They can stay warm during chilly sessions with…
Mystic Stealth
Always striving for improvement and efficiency, the latest upgrades to the Stealth harness are a testament to their commitment to creating the best products. The Stealth harness, their lightest one yet, now weighs only 900g (1.98lb), a whopping 37% lighter than the previous model. Achieving this weight reduction is thanks to the clever design and 3D padding, providing a minimal…
Mystic Majestic Fullsuit / Frontzip
The Mystic Majestic wetsuit is a staple suit across the range within Mystic products. Sitting as their top of the range suit alongside the Volt, it ranges in numerous sizes, including 3/2, 4/3 and 5/4, whilst also having front zip and back zip options. I’ve been using the 3/2 for the 2021 UK summer season, and it’s been my go-to…
Mystic Stealth
The new Mystic Stealth harness hit the market a couple of months ago to some fanfare; it followed hot on the heals of the excellent Stealth spreader bar system that they released a little while back. If you’ve experienced the Stealth spreader bar, you will have some idea of how this harness has been designed. The Stealth bar was a…
Mystic Majestic
The Mystic Majestic harness is a hardshell offering that offers a touch less rigidity than the hugely popular Majestic X. It uses the same Bionic Core Frame shape and design, but features Roving glass fibre rather than carbon, allowing just a little more flex into the frame. The idea is that it offers more freedom of movement and is the…
Mystic Majestic X
The Majestic X is a new high-end harness from arguably the biggest accessories brand in our sport. Packed with new technology and plenty of features it should be on your radar if you’re looking for a new rigid style harness. First up a word about rigidity championed years ago it is now filtering through to more and more brands. Mystic…
Mystic Crossfire Fullsuit Back Zip
New for 2016 from Mystic is the Crossfire, a suit designed to be the most flexible in their range, made from 100% M-Flex 2.0 Neoprene! It’s the perfect wetsuit for the dynamic rider looking to stay warm, but who values freedom of movement as well. It’s available in a classic back zip design with an overhead back-up section to stop…
Mystic Elevate Wave
Board bag design is an area that is no doubt rather guilty of lacking development, just stick some padding in between some fabric, make it a certain size and forget about the rest... Well, that is where the Elevate series of bags from Mystic steps in. Designed to be as light as possible these bags have had some real thought…
Mystic Legend
And now for something rather special! The Mystic Legend combines all the years of wetsuit and materials development that the brand has been involved in and puts it all into one, rather impressive, package! Designed to be the warmest wetsuit on the market the Legend is packed with features to keep the cold at bay! Made with 100% M-Flex 2.0…
Mystic Star Wave
The Star Wave single board bag from Mystic offers protection for your favourite surfboard as you transport it to and from the beach. It's available in 4 sizes, from 5'6 up to 6'6 so there should be something to fit your ride. There is plenty of room inside to allow you to leave the fins on, or you can even…
