Hey what is the best brand of wetsuit for women between 3 and 5 mm thick? To be used for surfing and diving...

Question

Any pointers I should be looking for while buying one would be much appreciated too. Thanks

Answer 1

I've been surfing since i was seven, and I've gone through tons of wetsuits. In my opinion, the best, most durable, and most comfortable wetsuits are by Body Glove. They have great fits for women that really hit the curves so you don't have a loose, weird fitting suit. Don't be afraid to go for something a little snug because thats what keeps the water out and keeps you warm! =] But yeah, Body Glove all the way.

Answer 3

where are you diving? i surf and dive san diego and use an OLD oneill 3/2 zen zip. in the winter time, i wear a half suit underneath as a second layer and it keeps me warm enough on shore dives, warm enough not to freeze my *** off. i don't have any complaints even though its about 8 years old or so.

i wouldn't suggest a 5mm for surfing. get a 4/3, and if you plan to dive when it's cold, wear another layer of neoprene underneath with booties, gloves, and a hood if you prefer.

Answer 4

well if you are planning to do both you will have to get two different suits because you dont want a very thick one when you surf but when u r diving you do want a thick one        \

the best brand   body glove or o'neil

Answer 5

O'Neill is one of the best wet suits in the market. They make both men's and women's suits. Although suits tend to be pretty generic today, there are still differences between dive suits and surfing suits. Surfing suits either have zipper-less openings or back zippers. Dive suits have front zipper openings, because of your back pack and tank.

Body glove makes lots of good, sport specific wetsuits also. Check out the links.

The best, is the one that YOU like the best, at a price you can afford. Wetsuits have to be TIGHT. They should fit like a second skin, yet still be flexible. Be sure to go to a surf or dive shop to buy one, don't get one on-line. You need to try it on before you leave the shop. Like bathing suits, they are NO RETURN items, so make sure you get the right one. Good Luck!
