Winter essential

To stay warm and safe, pair your wetsuit with:

• Neoprene hood (if not integrated)

• Neoprene boots

• Neoprene gloves

These accessories significantly increase comfort in cold conditions.

• Get out of your wet wetsuit as soon as possible

• Use a warm poncho, changing coat, or windproof jacket

• Put on dry layers immediately

• Drink something warm (tea, soup)

• Warm up hands and feet gradually — not with hot water

• A heated car seat or hot water bottle works wonders for the drive home

Gentle warmth is safer and more comfortable than sudden heat.

• Rinse with fresh water: After each session, rinse your wetsuit and accessories like gloves, boots, and hoods thoroughly with clean water to remove salt and sand.

• Mild detergent only if needed: Use a gentle, biodegradable detergent sparingly to preserve the softeners in neoprene that ensure flexibility. Rinse thoroughly.

• Dry in the shade: Let your gear dry in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. UV rays can damage the material and shorten its lifespan.

• Proper storage: Fold your wetsuit loosely and store it in a dry, shaded place. Avoid hanging it on a hanger for long periods, as this can stretch the shoulder area. Gloves and boots should also be stored without sharp bends.

• Open Palm Mitten 2.5 mm: Ideal for mild conditions or when maximum grip is important (e.g., kitesurfing/windsurfing). Less thermal insulation.

• Lobster Mitten 4/3 mm: Great choice for cold temperatures (approx. 5–10 °C). Combines warmth and handling.

• Claw Gloves 3/2 mm: For cool conditions when flexibility and grip matter. Not for very cold water.

• Neoprene Gloves 4/2 mm: For cold conditions, more warmth than 3/2 mm but still good mobility.

• Neoprene Gloves 2/1 mm & Hybrid 1+2.5 mm: For transitional or warmer conditions. Not for winter use.

• Arctic Gloves (maximum warmth): For very cold temperatures (below 5 °C). Best choice for winter and long sessions.

Boots (maximum protection & warmth for winter):

• 6/5 mm: Best choice for winter & very cold water (<10 °C). Ideal for long sessions surfing, kiting, or windsurfing.

• 3/2 mm: For cool water (10–15 °C). Good balance of warmth and flexibility, suitable for fall/spring.

Shoes / Slippers (lighter, more flexibility):

• 2.5 mm: For transitional or warmer water. Less thermal insulation, more barefoot feel.

• 1.5 mm: Only for mild conditions or abrasion protection. No winter insulation.

Socks (minimal setup):

• 6/5 mm: For very cold conditions as an extra layer under booties or alone for maximum warmth.

• 3/2 mm: For cool water or as a layer under booties for extra insulation.

Toes (barefoot feel):

• 2.0 mm: For warmer conditions, not for winter use. Only abrasion and grip protection.
