Finding the Perfect Fit: A Guide to Women’s Wetsuits for Spearfishing

Fit Is Key:

Without the right fit, even the most advanced wetsuit will fail. Size matters, so it’s essential to get it right from the start. Don’t compromise on fit.

How a Wetsuit Should Fit and Feel:

To achieve optimal performance and comfort, a wetsuit should fit like a second skin. No baggy areas or restrictions. Let’s explore the key aspects of the perfect fit.

Dry, the wetsuit should feel snug but not overly tight, allowing easy movement. Once in the water, neoprene will loosen, emphasizing the importance of a snug dry fit.

A comfortable yet tight fit around the neck prevents excess water from entering the suit. Proper fastening is vital to prevent chafing and discomfort.

Tightness around the arms and shoulders ensures mobility without excess neoprene folds. Snug wrists and proper length enhance overall fit and functionality.

Around your waistline, limited space to tug indicates a proper fit, preventing water accumulation and potential coldness.

A snug fit around the legs, without excess room in the crotch area, ensures unrestricted movement. Proper ankle length is essential for both comfort and performance.

Sizing Differences Between Brands:

It’s important to note that sizing can vary between different wetsuit brands. One brand’s size may not offer the same fit as another manufacturer’s size.

This is particularly true for women, as different brands cater to different body shapes. To help you navigate through the sizing options, we provide brand-specific size charts on our sizing guide page. These charts include measurements for height, weight, chest, and waist, ensuring you can find the right fit for your body type.

Considerations for varying sizes:

When top and bottom sizes differ, opt for the larger size. Neoprene moulds to body shapes with wear, filling out any slight length differences.
