100 Men's 1,5mm Neoprene Surf Shorty Wetsuit Navy Blue

The first criterion for choosing a surf wetsuit is the water temperature. The water temperature varies depending on the location and the time of year. So always ensure that the water temperature at your spot corresponds well to the recommended temperature range: Waters above 20°C. Waters between 17 and 22°C. Waters between 12 and 17°C. Waters between 7 and 12°C. Consult the site seatemperature.org to find out the temperature of your spot.

The 2nd criterion to take into account is the duration of your sessions. If your sessions last less than an hour, the 100 models will be suitable. Up to 2 hours, choose the 500 models and up to 3 hours, the 900 models. Compared to the 100 models, the 500 models will limit fatigue more (+ freedom of movement) and will better limit irritation. Same for the 900 models compared to the 500 models. NB: the 900 models are - easy to put on.

To take full advantage of the functionality of your wetsuit, it is necessary to choose the right size. A surf suit should be worn very snug and there should be no visible creases. When dry it is normal to feel too tight, this discomfort disappears as soon as the suit is wet. If you choose a suit that is too big, wrinkles will form and irritations will appear.

This OLAIAN 100 shorty is made of Neoprene to guarantee better comfort when you're on the boat.The neoprene is lined with synthetic fabric for greater wear resistance.Thickness of the neoprene: 2 mm.The neoprene is made of an elastomer foam which has insulating properties. We test and guarantee the quality of our neoprene materials.

The finish of the collar has been studied to limit irritation. Depending on individual sensitivity, it is possible to wear a UV top under the suit to limit the risk of irritation. The application of greasy cream (eg Vaseline) in the areas of friction (neck, armpits) is also recommended in the event of long use. Be sure to position the flap inside the suit to limit any risk of irritation with the Zip and the collar.

Our zips and closures are laboratory tested to ensure optimal lifespan and good resistance to salt water. We position the closure at the back of the wetsuit for more comfort when practicing board sports (lying down while paddling).

We have designed this product with seamless panels under the arms to limit irritation associated with repeated rowing movements in board sports.

When we are in water, it is through the extremities of the body (feet, hands, head) that we lose more than half of our body heat. Therefore here are the recommended accessories: - in water (>17°C) => low neoprene slippers. - in water (12 - 17°C): High slippers (boots) and gloves. - in water (7 - 12°C ): High slippers (boots), gloves, hood and top hood.

Our wetsuits are designed to meet the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, active sea walking (longe-côte) or SUP (stand-up paddle).
