Choosing The Wetsuit That Is Right For You

by Philip Litman

Wetsuits are special garments that you can wear to protect your body from adverse water and weather conditions. They are used in a wide range of sports like surfing, scuba diving, open water swimming, triathlon, wakeboarding, windsurfing, and other kinds of water-related activities.

Wetsuits are made from neoprene, a waterproof, synthetic rubber. Neoprene is an excellent insulator, which means it keeps the heat emanating from your body inside the suit. It’s also very flexible and stretchy.
