Wetsuits generally fall into 3 different types, Winter, Summer and the Shortie. The key differences in the wetsuits is the thickness of fabric used (neoprene) and is measured in millimetres, the stitching and the standard of Neoprene. Winter wetsuits have a combination of 5 and 4mm or 5 and 4 and 3mm Summer suits have 3 and 2mm and the Shortie will be 3 and 2mm 2mm or even just a 2 and 1mm combination. There are a couple of types of sewing used in wetsuit manufacture, Flatlock that is used in entry level Summer suits, it’s a strong flat stitch which is comfy against the body but can let small amounts of water through the seams, not an issue in Summer! Glued and Blindstitched which would be a totally waterproof stitch that is utilised in higher-end Summer suits and all Winter suits. Top-end suits even have various types of seal and taping over these seams, making them nearly bomb proof – Ideal for mid Winter outings! Quality of neoprene should also be reflected in the cost, a top of the range wetsuit will consist wholly of very flexible neoprene where as an entry level suit could have a basic neoprene with maybe a couple of stretch panels.
