WETSUIT SIZES
‘Fits like a glove’ is an understatement. A wetsuit should fit your body perfectly to do its job of keeping you warm and keeping water out. Generally, a good fitting wetsuit has better insulating capabilities than one that is too loose and lets water in. However, a wetsuit that is too tight might cut off your blood flow and therefore otherwise restricts your movements. On top of that, neoprene that is too stretched out becomes thin, and therefore less able to insulate. In contrast to your everyday clothes, most wetsuit brands offer a wide range of wetsuit sizes to fit many different body types. As a result, SRFACE wetsuit sizes are built up by combining body, height, weight, chest, and waist measurements. In case you’re not sure what wetsuit size is best for you, use the SRFACE Size Finder. Alternatively, talk to us directly for personal advise.
SIZE FINDER
Your online tailor, the Size Finder, is an intuitive online size chart developed by SRFACE. It recommends the best SRFACE wetsuit size based on your body type. Firstly, make sure you have a tape measure ready in order for you to find the best wetsuit size. Secondly, fill in your sizes such as your height, weight, chest and waist circumference. After that, the Size Finder will calculate the best size for you. However, please note that wetsuit sizes are different for each brand. As a result, always check out the size finder carefully to make sure you fit a certain size before buying a wetsuit online. Above all, don’t just buy a large because you normally wear large T-shirts. In conclusion, measuring both your height and width is equally important when buying a wetsuit online.
UNDERSTANDING SRFACE WETSUIT SIZES
Firstly, don’t be scared of the weird abbreviations of wetsuit sizes. What is the difference between an MS and LT? It surprisingly all makes sense if you read the below. In fact, the main difference with regular clothing sizes is that a wetsuit is a one piece. For example, it’s okay if your T-shirt is a bit too long. It will just overlap with your pants. However, wetsuits don’t work this way. You will have to get a size that fits both your height, width, and body type. Next up, all wetsuit sizes explained:
