Our staff favourite is the Xcel Infiniti Ltd 2mm wetsuit hood. Boots are optional this time of year. This wetsuit is available with or without a hood and with its quick-dry and thermal properties it makes the perfect steamer for Autumn and Spring. As the water will still be rather cold at this time of year you want to make sure your wetsuit has taped or welded seams as well as wrist and ankle seals to prevent cold water flushing through your suit.
Gloves, boots and hood are not required in these temperatures. This wetsuit is lighter than ever and one of the very best looking and performing women's summer wetsuits available at this price point. You're getting a stunning ladies summer wetsuit for the price, made from the latest performance materials and using the most up-to-date construction techniques.
Hood, gloves, and boots are not required in these temperatures. These wetsuits are usually in a shorty style, like the O'Neill Reactor II Shorty 2mm wetsuit which has short sleeves and legs. These are both perfect for protecting you from board rash, harmful UV rays from the sun and any wind chill that there may be.
A 3mm or 2mm shorty for summer, a 3mm fullsuit with watertight seams for dawn patrols and general later spring and early Autumn surfing. A 5mm wetsuit for winter in most locations is fine, especially when couple with boots gloves and a hood.
It may be the most expensive option, but because the life expectancy of a wetsuit is based on how much it is used, each suit will last you much longer providing you clean and store them properly! For a surfer that has a bit of a budget we would recommend getting two wetsuits that cover both ends of the temperature spectrum, i. If you're spending most of your time surfing in the UK you would be best suited to getting a really good 5mm suit and an economy 3mm suit, as you'll find you'll use the 5mm wetsuit approximately months out of the year and the 3mm the rest of the time.
If you mostly surf in the north of the UK, a 4mm in the winter will be unbearably cold, so we recommend getting a 5mm wetsuit. You may be a little warm during the summer months, but just loosen the neck of the suit and let some water in - it's far easier to cool down when you're hot than warm up when you're frozen! The 5mm wetsuit option will be usable for probably 10 months of the year in the UK so it represents the most sensible option.
We get a lot of customers who go cheap on their wetsuit and buy the thickest boots because they say " I feel the cold more". A good way to buy a cheap wetsuit is to go for some of the less known wetsuit companies. Their wetsuits might not be right on the cutting edge, like between 5 top wetsuits out there, but their top models can compare to all the big ones. Plus there is a price benefit. Some companies also eliminate all unnecessary cost from the production and sale process.
No marketing, no team, no middle man… selling only through their website. So, how to spot a good cheap wetsuit? A good way to start would be to read our wetsuits guide that I have linked to in previous paragraph. This way you will learn a few things about wetsuits and better know what to look for. If we keep it short — look for stretchy neoprene and double blind stitched and liquid sealed seams. And look for warranty.
Now these cheap wetsuits might be a bit more expensive than cheap wetsuits from the first method the wrong one, remember : but you will be thankful later.
This one is more obvious, but it requires some planning and thinking ahead which is not what us surfers are know for :. If it was a top alien technology wetsuit that ads 5 inches to your airs last year, how bad can it be this year :? You can visit factory outlets, wait for after winter sales, or what is especially popular these days — use the internet!
There are some really good deals for cheap wetsuits online almost at any time of the year! As fate would have it, the wind stopped and the waves cleaned up. After a bunch of phone calls, my friends were nice enough to let me borrow some of their older equipment.
A surfboard that was 3 litters smaller than anything I had ever ridden, a pair of booties that were a full size too small, and a two year old wetsuit that was full of holes. None of it mattered though, the surf had gotten that good and I needed to paddle out! One of the perks of being the owner of a surf shop I guess. So when I entered the water and could feel the cold Pacific pouring in through the holes in each knee, I knew I had really screwed it.
Then as I stepped deep enough into the sea for the water to be at my waist, the holes in the crotch took my breath away. How can you surf if you are cold before you even paddle out? I am not someone who usually complains about our water temperature.
As I tried my best to stay positive, I watched my friends drop into fun wave after fun wave.
