Wetsuit
At Watersporters.com, we have a wetsuit for every water sport out there. Whether you go kitesurfing, wakeboarding or kayaking, we have suits for you in a variety of styles, fits and price ranges.
In recent years, water sports have become increasingly popular. Wetsuits or surf suits are essential when practicing any water sport. They protect you from hypothermia in the, usually cold, water. The suit first lets in a small layer of water that is then warmed by the body.
Which wetsuit suits you best?
There are a number of factors that are very important when buying a wetsuit. Not every surf suit fits a particular water sport.
- Make sure the suit fits well, otherwise a wetsuit will not be effective. However, do not go for a model that is too tight, as comfort is also important. You need to be able to move freely in your wetsuit to practice your sport to its ultimate potential.
- There are different types of wetsuits, each with its own advantages. A Shorty is usually made of a thinner material and has short legs and sleeves. Should you still prefer to be fully covered, you can go for a Full wetsuit, also known as a Steamer. The in-between is a Shortarm, a wetsuit with short sleeves and long legs. There is also a difference in fabrics. Wetsuits are made of neoprene, in which two lines can be distinguished; single-lined and double-lined. Single-lined is warmer, but at the same time more fragile.
- Certain sports require a certain dexterity. Surf suits with a backzip provide more freedom of movement and better waterproofing. Front zips, on the other hand, are easier to put on. So think carefully about what you are looking for in a wetsuit and buy your perfect mix in our webshop!
