WETSUIT FIT
You want your gear to keep pace with your stoke. To help you do that, we have spared no effort in engineering the best wetsuits available. Made with innovative and sustainable Yamamoto #40 neoprene, these wetsuits are meant to keep you warm without restricting movement for the best sessions of your life. However, none of the work we have done matters unless you make sure that your wetsuit fits right. And there is only one right way to fit a wetsuit: tight.
But, Why Does It Need To Be Tight?
Wetsuits are designed to fit snugly against the body in order to trap a layer of water next to the skin. This thin layer of water is then heated by the body, providing a layer of insulation against the cold water. In order for this process to work, it is essential that your wetsuit fits snugly against your skin. If there are any gaps or loose areas, the warm water will escape and be replaced by cold water, leading to a drastic drop in body temperature, which often correlates to a similar drop in how much fun you are having.
How Tight Are We Talking?
A well-fitting wetsuit will feel snug all over your body with no gaps, bagginess, or folds. It should feel like a second skin sitting flush to your contours. Places to watch for gapping and proper fit include under the arms and in the crotch area, as these are two places where people struggle with the fit the most. It may take some gentle tugging and rearranging to ensure the suit fits flush in those areas. If you can’t get it snug, size it up or down and see if you can fix the issue. Specifically, look for pockets of air, as those will become pockets of water that will chill you once you get wet.
It is important to remember that your wetsuit will loosen up on the water, so err on the side of tight over loose.
So Any Tight Wetsuit Will Work?
The short answer is no. Not all wetsuits are made the same, and not all wetsuit materials are made the same. While it may be tempting to pick up something cheap from a discount brand or big box stores, the neoprene they often use will not perform the same way, not to mention it isn’t good for the environment.
We use sustainable Yamamoto #40 limestone neoprene that is hydrophobic to keep you warmer longer. This neoprene also offers superior flexibility, meaning you can get a snugger fit without sacrificing movement.
Can It Be Too Tight?
The simple answer is yes, there is such a thing as a too-tight wetsuit. When you try on your wetsuit, you want to be able to move relatively freely. Your movement in a dry wetsuit will be a bit restricted, so be sure to keep in mind that once wet, it will have more flexibility and loosen just a little bit. A too-tight wetsuit will restrict your circulation, making movement difficult and causing you to get cold faster.
Visit your Ride Engine authorized retailer, and be sure to try on a couple of sizes to find the right fit. Stay committed to finding one that is just snug enough to keep you on the water as long as you want.
