There are four major styles of wetsuits: spring suits, full suits, farmer johns, and short johns. Each type is best suited for a certain season or the type of weather and water temperature. For instance, spring suits are popular on summer or early parts of fall. Full suits have long sleeves and ankle-length bottoms, making them ideal for cold weather. OnShort johns offer the least protection from the heat, but they allow maximum comfort and movement
Most wetsuits are made from a rubber-based fabric called neoprene, which provides insulation and waterproofing. A layer of spandex or “superflex” is usually added to keep the neoprene layer from shrinking. Some wetsuits have additional fabric layers, such as merino wool for added comfort and titanium fiber for insulation.
Also check the seams for any holes or loose stitches. Make sure the seams are tightly and evenly stitched so that water cannot leak through the needle holes.
Wetsuits work best when they fit snugly and conform to your body, without being too tight or limiting your movement. To check for proper fit, make sure it clings tightly to your skin and provide just enough space for water to escape. Stretchable fabrics like spandex usually provide the best fit.
