Stay warmer longer with thermal accessories! There's something for every temperature range...
When we're in the water, we lose more than half our body heat through our extremities (feet, hands, head). We therefore recommend the following accessories:
- in water (>17°C) => neoprene socks.
- in water (12 - 17°C): high booties and gloves.
- in water (7 - 12°C): high booties, gloves, balaclava and balaclava top.
How to choose the right slipper?
The first criterion for choosing a surf boot is water temperature. Water temperature varies according to location and time of year. So always check that the water temperature at your spot corresponds to the recommended temperature range:
Waters above 21°C.
Waters between 17 and 22°C.
Waters between 12 and 17°C.
Waters between 7 and 12°C.
Consult the seatemperature.org website to find out the temperature at your spot.
Choosing the right size
Surf boots and booties should be worn very snugly to guarantee maximum efficiency. It's normal to feel too tight during a dry fitting. Choosing well-fitting booties ensures a better fit and prevents them from swelling with water during practice.
Materials
2 mm surf booties are made of genuine neoprene for maximum comfort.
Neoprene is lined with synthetic textile for greater resistance to wear.
Neoprene thickness: 2 mm.
Neoprene is made of elastomer foam with insulating properties.
We test and guarantee the quality of our neoprene materials.
Choose the right combination!
Our wetsuit models are also classified by water temperature range. Our wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports, such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, longe-côte and SUP (stand-up paddle).
