Choosing your First Wetsuit

When deciding on a wetsuit you need to consider How long do you want to spend in the water? What is your tolerance of the cold water? What time of year do you want to use it. Answer these questions and you should be on your way to picking out the correct Wetsuit. It sounds obvious but the more you pay for a wetsuit the warmer and more flexible they become. If you feel the cold more than most, think about investing in a slightly more expensive Wetsuit £100-£200 or if you only go in the water once a year in the summer, an entry level wetsuit around £100 would be absolutely fine.

The sea temperature changes quite considerably throughout the year. On a cold winters day the sea can get down to around 7 Degrees Centigrade and on a warm summers day it can reach up to 18 Degrees Centigrade. A general rule of thumb is that a good Blindstitched 3/2mm Wetsuit will be suitable from May to October and a 5/4mm or 4/3mm Wetsuit will see you through most winters. Shorty Wetsuits work well in the height of summer July/August or if you’re just chilling or playing on the beach or water.

How do wetsuits work?

With today’s technology you can stay warm in the coldest of conditions. We now have more freedom than ever, and movement is no longer restricted like the old wetsuits of yesteryear. Your Wetsuit is made up of panels of Neoprene. This rubbery compound insulates you from the cold water outside. Wetsuits are not designed to keep you entirely dry. A small amount of water gets trapped between your body and the neoprene. Your body temperature then heats up this small amount of water giving you a nice warm feeling. This is why finding the correct fitting Wetsuit is absolutely essential.
