Why Wear A Wetsuit?
Contrary to popular belief, wetsuits are not just for scuba divers! They provide comfort, warmth and protection for any water-based activity.
How does it work? Made of neoprene, wetsuits trap a thin layer of water between the skin and the suit. This water heats to match your body temperature, creating an insulated barrier to cold water. Water conducts heat 25-40 times faster than air, so without this insultation the body can lose heat rapidly
What are they used for? They are most often worn for swimming, surfing, bodyboarding and water-skiing, but are also great for paddling on the beach
How should they fit? A wetsuit should be a tight fitting, second skin to keep a thin layer of water between your body and the suit. Avoid sagging at the back or bunching at the arms & legs. The fit should also allow flexibility and movement
Important features: Flat-stitched seams are comfortable and durable. Easy-glide zips with extended zip pulls help you easily put on and take off
