A 5mm wetsuit is ideal for surfing in cold water temperatures, typically between 8°C and 10°C. It’s perfect for winter sessions, early spring, or colder climates where staying warm is crucial. The extra neoprene thickness provides insulation to retain your body heat, helping you surf longer without feeling the cold. If you're regularly facing chilly winds or cold water conditions, a 5mm wetsuit can be paired with accessories like boots, gloves, and a hood for further protection. 

You can use our intuitive Size Finder tool. Input your body height, weight, chest and waist size and we’ll recommend the perfect wetsuit size. Sizes are body sizes, not garment dimensions. If you have multiple matches in the Size Finder, choose the smaller size for a snug fit and less water entry, or the bigger size for more comfort and getting in and out of your wetsuit easier. All body types are different, the size chart is a guideline only. 

Measuring tips:

• Body height- Measure your height in a straight line from flat ground to the top of your head.
• Chest size- Measure around the widest part of your chest, just under your armpits at the nipple line.
• Waist size- Measure around your waistline, just above your belly button and below your rib cage.
• Hip size (for women only)- Measure around your waist line below your belly button
