Choosing the right size
To get the most out of your wetsuit, you need to choose the right size. A wetsuit should fit snugly and there should be no visible creases. When dry, it's normal to feel too tight, but this discomfort disappears as soon as the wetsuit gets wet. If you choose a wetsuit that's too big, creases will form, chafing will occur and thermal insulation will be reduced (water ingress).

Materials
The neoprene is lined with polyester fabric for added abrasion resistance. Neoprene thickness: 4/3 mm. Neoprene is a closed-cell elastomer foam (polychloroprene) containing nitrogen bubbles.
Collar
The collar finish has been designed to limit irritation. Depending on individual sensitivity, a UV top can be worn under the suit to limit the risk of irritation. We also recommend applying a greasy cream (e.g. Vaseline) to rubbing areas (neck, armpits) during long periods of use. Make sure you position the flap correctly inside the suit to limit any risk of irritation with the zip and collar.
Sealed assembly
The seams are sewn and glued to guarantee watertightness and strength. The seam is "blind", i.e. the thread does not go through the entire thickness of the neoprene, thus preventing water from passing through. The absence of threads on the inside prevents chafing. Internal comfort and reinforcement patches are placed at sensitive points.
Closing
Our zips and fasteners are laboratory-tested to ensure optimum durability and resistance to salt water.
We position the fastener at the back of the wetsuit for greater comfort when practicing board sports (lying down while rowing).
Zipper pull
Legislation requires us to use a short cord on the zipper of junior products to avoid the risk of strangulation for younger children. For older children, you can add a longer cord so that they can manipulate the zipper on their own. A small Velcro fastener prevents the slider from opening accidentally during use.
Multi-sport wetsuits
Our wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports.
