Accessories for cold water

Accessories for cold water

1. Hoods: A good hood can help retain heat from your head, which is crucial since a significant amount of body heat is lost through the head.

2. Gloves: Insulated gloves protect your hands from the cold, allowing for better grip and dexterity while surfing or diving.

3. Booties: Neoprene booties provide insulation for your feet, keeping them warm and protecting them from sharp objects or rocky surfaces.

?

By using the right wetsuit thickness along with these accessories, you’ll be well-equipped to tackle even the coldest conditions.

?

Choosing between a wetsuit thickness comes down to your comfort and the environment you’ll be in.

?

If you’re primarily in warmer waters, a 3mm suit should be sufficient, if you’re primarily in waters where temperatures hover around the mid-teens, a 4mm suit should be more than enough.

?

But if you plan to tackle cold waters or winter waves, a 5mm wetsuit will keep you toasty and ready for anything.

?

Remember, the key is to stay warm enough to enjoy the water without sacrificing too much mobility.

?

So, whether you’re braving the waves or exploring underwater life, packing the right thickness will help you get the most out of your adventure.
