Wetsuits: An Introduction

by Clement C.

Let me begin with an explanation what a wetsuit actually is. It is a protection suit used in sports like swimming, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, scuba diving, triathlon and others. All water sport activities can benefit from using a wetsuit. It function is to keep you warm and protect you from cold water.

How does a wetsuit work?

A thin layer of water is trapped between your skin and the wetsuit. This water is heated by your body and then acts as insulation. The neoprene in the wetsuit itself also has very good insulating capabilities.
