How Does A Wetsuit Work?

How Does A Wetsuit Work?

To work properly, a wetsuit should fit very tightly against the body. In addition, the thicker it is, the warmer it will keep you. The trapped water is rapidly warmed up by your body heat, and becomes an insulating layer. Neoprene is the material used in making wetsuits and it’s what acts as the insulator. Neoprene contains thousands of tiny air bubbles that act as insulators, trapping heat inside the wetsuit rather than releasing it into the water.

What To Wear Under A Wetsuit? Men + Women

Many first timers ask us at The Watersports Centre – “What do you wear under a wetsuit?”. From board shorts, to a bikini, to nothing at all, what to wear under a wetsuit is a matter of personal preference. Most people prefer to wear a swimsuit or board shorts, and others may need to wear sport specific gear underneath their wetsuit depending on the activity they’re participating in.
