When choosing a wetsuit, there are several factors to consider. Here are three essential elements to consider to find the perfect wetsuit.
The material
The material in your wetsuit is the foundation for both comfort and functionality. A good wetsuit should be both soft and very flexible to ensure a good fit and freedom of movement. The higher the flexibility, the better the fit and thus the more comfortable the suit is to wear.
If you also want to take extra care of your skin and minimize the risk of developing neoprene allergies and irritation, e-coprene or Yulex are an excellent choice. This material is free of oils and chemicals, meaning it is gentler on the skin while offering excellent thermal insulation and flexibility.
Choosing a wetsuit made from organic neoprene can make a big difference, especially if you use the suit frequently or have sensitive skin.
The bondings
The seams and seams of a wetsuit are crucial to its function and comfort. To get the most functional suit, you should look for suits that are glued and or coated. Coatings or seams prevent water from entering and thus minimize water circulation, which ultimately means you get a warmer suit.
The lining
The lining of a wetsuit plays an important role in both warmth and comfort. A good lining ensures that the suit provides as much warmth as possible and can provide a softer and more comfortable fit.
A well-designed lining helps retain body heat, which is important for you to maintain a comfortable temperature for longer.
