Our Range of Wetsuits
From the surf lineup to the deep blue, each category in our range is built around the activity it serves.

3mm supratex kneepads resist abrasion during duck dives and wipeouts, while glued and blindstitched seams reduce water infiltration. A Gauge 10 YKK back zipper with a key pocket on the flange adds convenience, and an adjustable collar with a smooth-cut neckline ensures a snug, watertight seal.Â

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wetsuit used for?
A wetsuit provides thermal insulation and protection during water activities. It works by trapping a thin layer of water between the suit and your skin, which the body then heats to create a warm barrier against cooler water.Â
Beyond warmth, wetsuits also protect against sunburn, jellyfish stings, and abrasions from rocks or coral. They are essential gear for surfing, scuba diving, spearfishing, triathlon racing, fishing, and stand-up paddleboarding. Neoprene, the flexible synthetic rubber used in wetsuit construction, also provides added buoyancy, which can be particularly beneficial for younger or less experienced swimmers.
What is the difference between a wetsuit and a swimsuit?
A swimsuit is designed for pool or calm-water swimming and offers no thermal insulation. A wetsuit is made from neoprene, a flexible and insulating material that retains body heat in cold or open water.Â
Wetsuits fit snugly against the body to minimise water flow through the suit, keeping you warm even during extended sessions in the ocean. They also offer added buoyancy, UV protection, and a physical barrier against scrapes and stings that a standard swimsuit simply cannot provide.Â
The thickness of the neoprene determines how much warmth the suit delivers, with options ranging from 1mm for SUP tops to 7mm for cold-water scuba and commercial diving.
What do females wear under a wetsuit?
Most women wear a swimsuit or bikini underneath their wetsuit. A one-piece swimsuit or a simple bikini works well, as the wetsuit is designed to sit directly against the skin for the best insulation and fit.Â
Avoid bulky clothing underneath, as this can bunch up, cause chafing, and reduce the wetsuit’s ability to keep water out. The key is to keep it minimal and comfortable so the wetsuit can do its job.
Do you still get wet in a wetsuit?
Yes, a wetsuit does not keep you completely dry. A small amount of water enters the suit and sits between the neoprene and your skin. Your body heats this thin layer of water, which then acts as insulation against the colder water outside.Â
This is exactly how a wetsuit is designed to work. Features like glued and blindstitched seams, a snug-fitting adjustable collar, and a quality YKK zipper all help to minimise the amount of water that flushes through the suit, keeping you warmer for longer.
