JOBE Detroit Fullsuit 3|2mm Preshaped Armor Men's Wetsuit - Black - Size S

The thickness of a wetsuit is the most important criteria to consider. Generally, the greater the thickness - the warmer the wetsuit will be. On the contrary, the less flexible the wetsuit – the more your movements are restricted in the water. The thickness of the neoprene is determined in millimeters using 3 or 2 numbers: the first number corresponds to the thickest part of the wetsuit which is normally on the torso and back and the second number corresponds to the thinnest part of the wetsuit which is normally on the legs and arms.

• The 5/4 or 5/4/3 thickness of a full wetsuit, mainly intended for cold waters below 12°C, offers an effective protection against the cold in winter.
• The 4/3 thickness of a full wetsuit is the perfect year-round balance source and provides freedom of movement for fresh waters between 12°C and 17°C.
• The 3/2 thickness, available in different types of wetsuits, guarantees superior comfort thanks to its softer neoprene which is excellent for temperate waters between 17°C and 20°C.
• The 2/2 thickness is nicer in summer, for warm waters over 20°C, thanks to the ease of movement provided by the shorty for example, the ultimate summer wetsuit.

Another important criteria to remember are the closures that allow you to put on and take off your wetsuit. Easy to put on and take off, the Back Zip construction is based on a closure along the spine, ideal for surfing. However, this type of wetsuit can limit the rider's freedom of movement, especially in the back, due to the lack of stretch in this area. Check out our range of Chest Zip Wetsuits.
