Main Material

The first factor to consider when choosing a surfing wetsuit is the water temperature. Water temperature varies depending on the location and time of year. Keep these guidelines in mind: Water above 20°C.
Water between 17 and 22°C.
Water between 12 and 17°C.
Water between 7 and 12°C.

How to choose a wetsuit Part 1

The second thing to consider is the length of your sessions. Our 100 models are suitable for sessions of up to 1 hour. For 1-2 hours, opt for a 500 wetsuit; for 2-3 hours, go for a 900. Wetsuits with a higher model number are warmer, more watertight, and better at reducing irritation and fatigue The same is true for the 900 models, compared with the 500 models.
Note: The 900 models are easier to put on.

How to choose a wetsuit Part 2

To get the most out of your wetsuit, it’s important to choose the right size. A surfing wetsuit should fit snugly and have no visible folds. It’s normal for the suit to feel too tight when dry; this discomfort will disappear once you’re in the water. If you choose a suit that's too big, creases will form and irritation will appear.

Choosing a size

This OLAIAN 500 shorty is made from neoprene for improved comfort during use.
The synthetic lining provides added wear resistance.
Neoprene thickness: 1.5 mm.
The neoprene is made of an elastomer foam with insulating properties.
We test and guarantee the quality of our neoprene materials. 

Materials

The neck is designed to limit irritation. If you have sensitive skin, consider wearing a UV-resistant top under the wetsuit to reduce rubbing and chafing. To prevent chafing during longer outings, we recommend applying petroleum jelly around your neck and underarms. Make sure the flap is always inside the wetsuit to limit the risk of irritation with the zipper and the neck.

Neck

Our zips and fastenings are lab-tested for guaranteed durability and resistance to salt water. The zip is at the back of the wetsuit for greater comfort when lying down to paddle.

Fasteners

There is a key pocket under the zip flap.

Key pocket

Seamless panels under the arms reduce irritation caused by paddling movements.

Anti-chafing design

When you’re in the water, more than half your body heat is lost through your extremities (feet, hands, head). To stay warm, consider these accessories:

- in water (>17°C) => low cut neoprene socks.
- Cold water (12°C–17°C): High-cut booties and gloves.
- Cold water (7°C-12°C): High boots, gloves, hood, and hooded top.


Stay warm for longer with our thermal accessories!
Each temperature range has its own outfit.

Our wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. They’re compatible with many other water sports, including swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding.
