How do I select the right size? Use the size chart on each product page located under the Size Chart Tab. Every brand has a different size chart so you have to check your size in the size chart of each brand to be accurate about your size.

Why are measurements so important? When selecting your size it is important to consider all measurements and not just height and weight. Of particular importance is your chest measurement. In order for a wetsuit to keep you warm in the water, it needs to offer a snug fit. A loose wetsuit will allow rapid water exchange and you will not stay as warm.

Am I the same size in every brand of Wetsuit? No actually, every brand has a different size chart so you have to check your size in the size chart of each brand to be accurate about your size. Just because you are a size Small in a brand like O’neill does not mean you are a size Small in another brand. Make sure to check the size chart of every wetsuit you are looking at purchasing.

How do I measure myself, I don’t have a measuring flexible ruler? You can use a belt or a piece of string to get your measurements. Simply wrap the string around your chest and then place the string along side a ruler or measuring tape and see what your measurement is. You can do this for your waist and hips too!

Introduction to Selecting Wetsuit: Your wetsuit acts as your second skin, an essential barrier between you and the often harsh environment of the open water. Because of this, and because of a quality wetsuit is a considerable investment, it’s important to do the research before making a purchase. There are many important factors to consider. Most significantly, ask yourself whether you need a wetsuit primarily for swimming, surfing, diving or for multiple sports. While some wetsuits can crossover into other activities, we recommend investing in a wetsuit that is specific to your main sport.

How do wetsuits work? A wetsuit is made from neoprene to provide you with warmth and protection when doing your favorite water sport. Wetsuits slow down heat loss by trapping a thin layer of water between your body and the wetsuit. While you still get wet, your body heats up the thin layer of water to nearly body temperature. Research the water temperature in the region where you will be using your wetsuit the majority of the time. If temperatures are cold, consider wearing neoprene boots, gloves and hoods along with your wetsuit.

Need A Wetsuit for Surfing? You may not realize it, but surfing involves a lot of arm paddling. Consider a wetsuit that has stretchy material in the upper body (shoulders and arms) or in the entire body. This will reduce the upper-body fatigue that results from repetitive motion. (insert diagram here). In this wetsuit example, there are stretchy materials in the upper body to improve surfing comfort.

Need A Wetsuit for Diving? The two most important things to consider when determining the best diving wetsuit are: 1) Water temperature – If you are diving in colder waters, consider a cold-water wetsuit. These wetsuits are specifically designed to withstand the compression that results from going deep underwater. They are also typically made of materials that help to maximize your body’s thermal protection. 2) Water depth – You may be surprised to learn that the enemy of all wetsuits is depth not temperature. As you descend, your neoprene wetsuit compresses very quickly, in some cases, half of its surface thickness within the first 35 feet. To protect your body and your gear, consider the diving depths you anticipate undertaking before determining the best cold-water wetsuit for your needs.

When Looking A Multi-Sport Wetsuit Here Are Some FactorsTo Consider:

1. What activity will you be spending most of your time doing in your wetsuit?
2. What is your budget?
3. What will be the most active areas of the wetsuit?

Need A Wetsuit Swimming? If you plan to swim frequently or do laps in your wetsuit, we recommend a triathlon wetsuit. Triathlon wetsuits are specifically designed for swimmers, with more stretch than a typical surfing or diving wetsuit, so you benefit from unrestricted movement while swimming. The extra stretch is due to a different cut, materials and design than in conventional wetsuits.

How A Triathbn Wetsuit Work? Triathlon wetsuits have panels with different thickness and materials (buoyancy) to optimize the swimmer's positioning. (Note: These wetsuits are not personal flotation devices nor are they intended to protect against sinking or drowning). Additionally, triathlon wetsuits rarely have nylon lament on the exterior they glide more efficiently in the water with less drag. While these features make a triathlon wetsuit very stretchy, they also make it very sensitive to tearing.
