The Full Wetsuit - Right for Everyone

Babies Wrap Wetsuit for 6-12 Months

People who enjoy water sports like wake-boarding, surfing, or scuba diving cannot live without their wetsuits, but they don't depend on just any type of wetsuit. Proper wetsuits will guarantee total fun and mobility in the waters while maintaining a comfortable body temperature. A full wetsuit is perfect for these activities as it helps retain body temperature to normal level even if you stay for long periods of time in cold waters. However, you have to be aware that not all wetsuits are the same. There are different types of wetsuits and each type is designed for a variety of activities and water temperatures. Wetsuits come in various sizes and colors as well. There are wetsuits specially made for adults and kids.
Women who love to participate in water sports and activities such as kayaking, surfing, and diving need a women's wetsuit. A quality wetsuit, commonly made of 60% neoprene, prevents body heat loss and can come in various designs and material compositions for different water temperature conditions. Wetsuits trap body heat, especially when the water temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit or below. A good wetsuit should follow the contours of the body correctly for a comfortable feel. A perfect wetsuit fit allows the wearer to move as naturally and freely as possible while a loose wetsuit collects water inside it and can have diminished insulating ability when submerged underwater. There is no such thing as a wetsuit that is meant to be baggy.
A children's wetsuit these days is not just about protecting the kids from the chilly waters and icy sea spray, it has also become a fashion item at the beach. Not only outside at the surf, but you can now even find junior wearing a wetsuit in the indoor swimming pool.
Adult wetsuits are available in a wide variety of designs, styles and colours, and the children's wetsuits is no different. Wetsuits were once only connected to extreme water sports such as cold water surfing, free diving, scuba diving, etc, but now they have become commonplace on the sandy beaches in any season.
Wetsuits are accepted for their protection properties from the cold water and other features, but sometimes the children just like wearing them, because they look trendy.
Before spending your money on a new men wetsuit, you should gain some basic knowledge about what to look for.
Neoprene is the primary choice of material for wetsuits, because of it's superb insulating properties. Wetsuit panels are often different thicknesses; thicker around the torso, and thinner on the limbs. The thickness of the material is measured in millimeters and described in numbers; a 3/2 wetsuit will be 3mm on the torso and 2mm on the limbs. The panels are welded or stitched together.
Many manufacturers chose to substitute neoprene with other materials to save costs, as it is an expensive material. Also, other materials (like merino wool) are often added to add additional insulating layers.
The first stage in wetsuit selection would be determined as to what sport you pursue as well as the conditions within which you intend to participate in. The colder conditions would call for a thicker suit and perhaps a full wetsuit, often times referred to as a steamer wetsuit. By covering the entire body, you will be able to retain a large amount of the body heat that is often lost to the surrounding water. The thickness of the suit will also provide more protection in colder water conditions.
If you require more freedom of movement, many people opt for the shorty wetsuit within the wetsuit selection process, which essentially covers the torso of the body, which incidentally is the most important part of the body to cover, as the body will draw heat away from the rest of the body to ensure that the vital organs remain at the right temperature. The shorty suit also allows for more movement of the arms and legs which is especially helpful when surfing, water skiing or body boarding.
