WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF NEOPRENE FREEDIVING WETSUITS?

For all water sports enthusiasts such as snorkeling or scuba diving, it is advisable to bring special equipment such as a neoprene suit. Designed for use in the water, neoprene apnea suits are outfits offering excellent thermal insulation, so you can practice through the seasons, without fear of cold water. In addition, neoprene apnea suits have a certain flexibility, thanks to which you can move in the water with ease. At Decathlon, we offer you different models, so that you can pursue your favorite activities throughout the year, without fear of extreme temperatures.

HOW DOES THE THERMAL INSULATION OF NEOPRENE WETSUITS WORK?

We try to explain to you how the thermal insulation of neoprene wetsuits works, in order to help you guide your choice in an optimal way. In a few words, your suit will manage to keep you warm by letting a small amount of water penetrate inside, which, trapped between your body and the suit, will provide you with a pleasant temperature. In fact, the thickness of your outfit will be one of the main selection criteria, for a wetsuit that will meet your expectations according to your practice.

OUR ADVICE TO CHOOSE YOUR NEOPRENE SCUBA WETSUITS

Depending on the type of water in which you practice, or the duration of your sessions, it is essential to adapt your neoprene apnea suits. For apnea in cold water, it is advisable to favor models with a certain thickness, in order to keep you warm. For example, 7 mm outfits will be worn for waters with a temperature between 10 and 18 degrees.
