Which type of wetsuit? full body or steamer/shortie?

Question

And which make,and why?? Snugg? Bodyglove? O`Neill? Animal?No Fear??

Answer 1

Shorty if it is not too cold. It depends where you surf. Shortys look much better. I prefer O'neill

Answer 2

Any type of shorty! They r the s*x an make ur figure look amazin! Careful tho... ur knees may get bruised terribly an swell up like mellons but its all gud! : )

Answer 3

No fear full body...i love the feel of rubber   :D

Answer 4

Go fullsuit if the water is going to be under 60F, dont get a bodyglove, i have one and it has may holes in it after 1 years use, oneill sucks too, unless you get one of their more expensive ones. go for billabong, rip curl, boz, those guys make excellent wetsuits.

Answer 5

shortie - theyre more comfortable & look better

Answer 6

How do you react to the cold water? Personally I have never seen the need to have a short suit, if it is warn enough for that you really don't even need it. I wear a full suit until the water temp is around 60- 65 after that  bare back. Go to you local shop to get the right one for you, try on all the different brands and styles to find what fits you best.

Answer 7

full body because in the times that u need a springsuit u can or at least i can tolerate the water but can throw on a full body when it gets windy. as to the type u should just shop around and try on the different brands, this may seem cumbersome but its the only way to really know how a suit feels

Answer 8

Depends where and when you'll go surfing or if you get cold easily. I use a full wetsuit for scuba diving cos I'm a wuss and get cold easily! Shorties may be easier to move about in. As for makes I tried on loads before I found one that fit me properly (ripcurl). Best thing is to probably go into a surf shop and ask there. People who actually go surfing will have a better idea as to type and make. Oh and just to confuse matters you can get different thicknesses of wetsuit too!

Answer 9

Where about are you???? Bit hard to answer this question without knowing. If you live somewhere with cold water - ie England, North California or southern Australia you will need a full Steamer, if however you live in an area with warmer water - ie Hawaii, Queensland, Southern Portugal then go for the shortie.

As to the make then it depands on what fits you best as they are all pretty much of a muchness when it comes to quality. Don't just go for a label as it is the latest fashion. try them on to see which is comfortable for u.

Answer 10

First part of your question depends on where you are going to be using the wet suit - can't advise ubless know location and use.  Respone to second part of question is - whichever fits you best.
