During a warm summer evening on the water, you obviously don't want to wear a thick wetsuit. For these sunny days, a shorty wetsuit is ideal. In our assortment you will find a wide choice of men's shorty wetsuits from different top brands such as Jobe, Prolimit, and Brunotti. Whether you go surfing, supping, or practice other water sports, a men's shorty offers the perfect balance between protection and freedom of movement.
What is the Difference between a Normal Wetsuit and a Shorty?
The main difference between a normal wetsuit and a wetsuit shorty is in the sleeves and legs. A normal wetsuit has long sleeves and long legs, while a shorty wetsuit, on the other hand, has short sleeves and short legs. This allows you to enjoy maximum stretch and freedom of movement while keeping your body well insulated while wearing a men's shorty wetsuit. This is ideal during nice weather when you like to have arms and legs free, but still keep your chest and back protected from wind and water.
When do you wear a Shorty Wetsuit?
A shorty wetsuit is worn during warmer weather. Because your arms and legs are not covered, a men's shorty offers less insulation than a full wetsuit with long sleeves and legs. This means you will get colder faster when the weather turns. Therefore, men's shorty wetsuits are primarily worn on summer days when the water is pleasantly warm. This makes a shorty the perfect choice for summer surfing and water sports adventures.
Thicknesses of Shorty Wetsuits.
Shorty wetsuits for men often come in thinner thicknesses, such as 3/2 mm. This means the wetsuit has 3 mm thick neoprene on the chest for extra warmth and 2 mm at the legs for more flexibility. This combination of thicknesses ensures that you are well protected from the cold without sacrificing freedom of movement.
What should you pay attention to when buying a Shorty Wetsuit?
A good fit is important when choosing a men's shorty wetsuit. A wetsuit that fits your body well not only offers better insulation, but also more comfort and freedom of movement. It is also important to pay attention to the design, thickness and materials such as neoprene, which contribute to the overall comfort and performance of the wetsuit. In addition, you have two different zippers, a front zip and a back zip. The main difference between the two zippers is that a front zip gives more freedom of movement and allows less water into the suit, therefore a front zip is warmer than a back zip. A back zip on the other hand is easier to put on, therefore this is often a personal preference which type of zipper you choose.
