Seasonal Changes: Choosing the Right Wetsuit

The UK climate is never going to match Hawaii. Choosing the right wetsuit to match whatever the fickle British weather fancies dishing out during the seasons is not only the key to comfort, but also to safety.

Broadly speaking, the seasonal categories of UK wetsuits fall between winter wetsuits and summer wetsuits. The main difference between winter and summer wetsuits are their protection from the elements, temperature control and body protection. Basically, winter wetsuits are made of tough stuff (thicker neoprene, closer stitching and sealant) whilst summer wetsuits tend to be made from thinner neoprene with more widely spaced stitching.

In terms of material, high end seasonal wetsuits will be made using incredibly flexible neoprene from top to bottom. Entry level or budget wetsuits are likely to be comprised mostly of basic neoprene with additional panels of elasticised neoprene for movement.

Winter wetsuits from the likes of brand leaders including XCEL Infinity (5mm) design are created within recommended parameters combining 4/5mm or 5/4/3mm to maximise winter warmth and protection. Summer wetsuits range around 2/3mm Stitching is as important as fabric. Winter wetsuits like the XCEL Infinity are glued and blindstitched to prevent extensive temperature change and water permutation. High-end winter wetsuits often incorporate some kind of seal or taping in vulnerable areas.

Whilst high end summer wetsuits occasionally adopt blindstitching, the traditional flatlock stitch is traditional. The flatlock stitch is comfortable against the skin, and whilst it does let a little water between stitches, strength is guaranteed.

The issue of ethics is prevalent in every contemporary industry. Big brands like XCEL wetsuits now utilise recycled materials wherever possible. XCEL wetsuits are some of the most popular in the UK through all seasons.

Choosing the right wetsuit for the British weather is vital in safeguarding health, safety and personal comfort the year round.
