Diving Wetsuit

Wetsuits may be of different types: dry, semi-dry and wet. Only if you are going to ride in temperatures around freezing, you need a dry or semi-dry wetsuit. If you do not plan to be under water over the time and if you want spend some time sitting on the bank, therefore, choose a wet suit. Its thickness may be about 3 - 4 mm, although this depends on you and specific of your body. Pay attention to the places where the clothes thickened, places like the groin, chest, back should be thicker to reduce heat loss. Also, special attention should be paid to the knees - you will climb on board not once and a wetsuit is not strongly adapted to contact the salty surface of the board, so rubber pads must be on his knees.

There is complete, separate, and short custom wetsuit. The best option is a complete suit and jacket (if weather is very cold), which can be worn over complete one. Well, a short wetsuit is suitable for such weather, when it is neither heat nor cold. Most importantly thing is the suit must be tight-fitting and fit so that there are no folds and places with water. Hose and legs should not be free, but should fit snugly and do not leak inside. You should know that the suits are produced mainly for the divers. If you are a diver, then to choose the custom fitting wetsuit is very easy. But if you're not a diver and if you'll spend most of the times in open air at atmospheric pressure, so your suit must meet some other requirements. So the first requirement is the custom wetsuit should be smooth from the outside. In general, the neoprene should be covered with a thin layer of water-resistant outside, the water must flow down quickly and the surface dried up quickly too. If soaked in water layer will always be in the wind, and you will be very cool and you will get the opposite effect instead of warming. But the diver will be very warm in a suit; it is not wind under water.

One important thing is a such clothes are quite expensive, so there are plenty of companies engaged in manufacturing wet suits, and unfortunately used neoprene may be a different quality, so pay attention to the quality of the material: it must be flexible, well-stretch and return quickly to its original state after compression without loss thickness, and leaving no stretch marks.
