A wetsuit performs optimally only when it fits snugly against the body without restricting movement. This creates a thin layer of water between the skin and the neoprene, which warms up with body heat and helps retain warmth.
FIT
A wetsuit should fit snugly to allow a thin layer of water to form between the skin and the neoprene, ensuring proper thermal insulation.
HEAT LOSS
A loose wetsuit allows water to circulate inside, reducing insulation and accelerating heat loss.
FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
A wetsuit that is too tight restricts movement, which is especially problematic with thicker suits.
FLEXIBILITY
You should be able to bend forward and touch your toes comfortably, without feeling restricted.
10–17°C
If you want to stay comfortable and avoid getting cold, choose a thicker wetsuit that provides adequate thermal insulation.
17–20°C
The water is still cool, but conditions are more moderate. Choose a wetsuit that offers a balance between warmth and freedom of movement.
19–23°C
Water temperatures are more comfortable. A thinner wetsuit will be sufficient, providing protection against wind and cooler air.
24°C +
For warm water and summer conditions, lightweight wetsuits or alternative solutions (such as UV apparel) are ideal, offering protection without overheating
Maximum comfort and control
Regardless of water conditions or season, the right wetsuit provides not only warmth but also full freedom of movement.
A properly fitted wetsuit is essential.
With the right fit, a wetsuit works like a second skin – protecting against heat loss while allowing you to fully focus on enjoying your time in the water.
