Wetsuits UK Buying Tips

The most important factor in choosing wetsuits UK is getting the right size. This might seem apparent, but all too frequently first time wetsuits UK buyers get a wetsuit that is too large for them. They think if I get a wetsuit one size bigger than I desire it will have more room inside, hence I will be more comfortable In fact the opposite is true-that additional space inside leads to the wetsuit moving around too much and can cause rashes or even chaffing! If you must get too large of a wetsuit get one with an inner liner- like the XCEL Infiniti or the Syncro by Quiksilver wetsuits. But in general if you adhere just to the fabric sizing information you can't go wrong.

The second most significant factor to consider when buying wetsuits UK is the type. Wetsuits come in a variety of types for every kind of water activity. Shorties, which have leg span above the knees and short arms, are when you need additional mobility in your arms and legs and great in warmer waters. Billabong and o'Neill wetsuits are outstanding choices here. Full suits are ideal to colder waters. These have full-length arms and legs that help you to retain more body heat. The Rip Curl E Bomb wetsuit is a high quality full suit that you simply can't go wrong with.

The next thing to consider is the thickness of your preferred wetsuits UK. The ideal thickness of a wetsuit is dictated completely by the water temperature you'll be in. But prior to describing what thickness you ought to look for, let me tell you what those amounts in advertisements that are wetsuit mean.

Wetsuit thickness is defined like 4/3, or 6/5/4. These amounts mean the wetsuit thickness in various sections. A 7/6/5 means the wetsuit has a hood-the hood is 7mm thick, the torso 6mm, arms are 5mm. XCEL wetsuits makes a 7/6/5 wetsuit that's sure to keep you nice and toasty.

So what depth should you look for in a wetsuit? Based on these numbers you can tell it has a hood. If the water is between 40 and 50 degrees-try a 5/3 wetsuit, or even a 6/5/4. Between 50 and 60 degrees go with 4/3.

Lastly, remember a wetsuit can be bit of an investment so stay with the quality brands when buying wetsuits. Some of the best wetsuits can be found at Coldwater state. An online store that stocks the best of surfing gear.
