You are looking for a wetsuit that will allow you to enjoy your sport of choice all year long without compromising warmth or flexibility. This guide will help you better understand different wetsuit technologies that we offer. Wetsuits will not keep you completely dry. The idea is to allow a small amount of water inside, your body temperature will take care of the rest. Depending on how your wetsuit is constructed, you may be able to keep the warm water trapped inside and avoid flushing from outside water. More to come on that! Our wetsuit listings give you a great snapshot of the suit's construction. We will explain step-by-step. Example: 3/2mm Mens Jet Pilot ALPHA Full Wetsuit - SEALED In the above listing, 3/2mm -or- "Three Two" refers to wetsuit thickness in millimeters. The first number represents thickness in the torso area, the second number in the extremities. Less neoprene is used in the extremities to increase flexibility. As a rule of thumb, thickness increases warmth and decreases flexibility. However, you will not notice much of a difference in flexibility going from a 3/2mm to a 4/3mm, but you will notice the added warmth! In this example, the brand is Jet Pilot and the model is Alpha. Please note that each brand has a unique fit. Always consult the size chart (located at the bottom of each ad) before making a purchase. Rash Guards provide UV and Rash protection. They do not provide warmth. Neoprene Tops will provide minimal warmth and can be used for UV, Rash, and Wind protection on warm days with swim trunks. Tops can also be warn under a wetsuit for added warmth on cold days. Shorty / Springsuits have shortened arms and legs. These suits are great for water temperatures above 70 degrees Full Wetsuits cover your entire body. These suits are great for water less than 70F. Flatlock Stitching: Recommended for warm water above 62F. You can recognize this seam from the outside. It looks like railroad tracks. The interior and exterior seams look about the same. The interior seam construction is flat and comfortable against the body. Some water may seep in through these seams. Sealed (Glued and Blindstitched): Recommended for cold water 55F and up. This construction is best for cold water because the seams are glued, then stitched. It looks similar to Flatlock stitching, but is narrower in width. Very little water will seep through these seams. Sealed & Taped (Glued Blindstitched & 100% Taped): Recommended for very cold water 55F and below. Same construction as above plus interior seam taping. The tape reinforces seams for added durability, and prevents any water from seeping through. Stitchless: Recommended for very cold water 55F and below. Stichless technology binds wetsuit seams together with a special glue that eliminates the need for stitching. The inside is 100% taped to prevent leaking. The benefits include uninhibited stretch and increased flexibility. Other enhancements that may be listed in our ads: No-Zip: Zipperless wetsuits load from the top. A neck gasket is opened, you enter the suit, and pull the gasket over your head. The suit then seals with 2 small velcro tabs. PROS= Increased flexibility and no chance of zipper breakage CONS= You cannot wear the suit at your waist after a session Flush Resistant Neck ,Arms and Legs: Tapered cuffs that bond to your skin, preventing flushing Neoprene Zipper Barrier: A neoprene panel located between the zipper and your skin. Keeps flushing water out of the zipper area.
