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). Try it on before you buy!
Materials
The neoprene is lined with polyester fabric for added abrasion resistance. Neoprene thickness: 1.5 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.
Be sure to position the flap inside the suit to limit any risk of irritation from the zip and collar.
Closing
Our zips and fasteners are laboratory-tested to ensure optimum durability and resistance to salt water. We position the zipper 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. From size 10 upwards, the cords are long, enabling independent handling. A small Velcro fastener prevents unwanted opening of the slider during use.
Anti-irritation cut
We designed this product with seamless panels under the arms to limit irritation from repeated rowing movements in board sports.
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 such as windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, active ocean walking (longe-côte) or SUP (stand-up paddle).
