Stay warmer longer with thermal accessories! There's something for every temperature range...
When we're in the water, we lose more than half of our body heat through our extremities (feet, hands, head).
We therefore recommend the following accessories:
- in warm and temperate water (>17°C) => neoprene socks.
- in cold water (12 - 17°C): high booties and gloves. in cold water (12 - 17°C): High booties and gloves.
- in very cold water (7 - 12°C): High booties, gloves, balaclava and balaclava top...

Water sports accessories
Our neoprene accessories 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, active ocean walking (longe-côte) or SUP (stand-up paddle).
Thermicity and wind
The minimum water temperature recommended for use of this tee shirt is 22°C if worn alone. Maximum duration 3 hours.
This top is made of polar fleece to prevent shivering when entering the water. Beware: the presence of wind will have an impact that can be uncomfortable when wet, and can generate an additional sensation of cold. In windy conditions, it's best to choose a neoprene top.
This top can be worn under the wetsuit.
Reduces irritation
This thermal top limits chafing and irritation caused by contact with the surfboard or bodyboard. It can also be used under a wetsuit to limit chafing, particularly around the neck and armpits. We've designed seamless panels under the arms to limit irritation from rowing movements. Our test protocols validated that irritation was well limited during 3-hour sessions.
Quick-drying
The polyester fabric is naturally quick-drying.
