WHICH WETSUIT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
 
Wetsuits have become more than just a protective gear for divers. Today, different types of wetsuits are available for different seasons. There are also more choices in smaller details, such as stitching. With all the different options, choosing the right wetsuit can be a challenge for first-time buyers. Here is a quick guide to the features you should look for when buying a wetsuit.
 
Design and coverage

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

 
Materials and construction

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.

 
Proper fit

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.
