A good wetsuit for a spearfisherman is essential. It not only keeps you warm enabling longer periods in the water without risking hypothermia but also provides skin protection from bumps and scrapes and stingers in the water. In addition, a camouflaged suit will allow you to get a jump on your prey.
Whether you are an absolute beginner or would like to replace or upgrade your gear, the goal here is to give you some guidance on how to select the best spearfishing wetsuit for your needs and introduce some top models to consider.
If you have any questions or concerns, please use the comments section at the bottom. I’d love to know your thoughts.

Four main factors should be considered in selecting a spearfishing wetsuit:
thickness
camouflage
materials
style
Thickness
The desired thickness of a wetsuit is based on the water temperature – the colder, the thicker. The neoprene in the wetsuit can increase positive buoyancy, so it would be best not to overcompensate for the temperature. Basic guidelines are summarized in this table:
Above 28°C (82°F): 1-2.5 mm
From 20-28°C (70-82°F): 3mm
From 16-20 °C (60-70 °F) 5mm
From 10-16°C (50-60°F): 7mm
Camouflage
Camouflage coloration on wetsuits not only looks cool (to me anyway) but also serves a useful purpose. Hunters everywhere agree, if the prey can’t see you, you can get a jump on it. So if you blend into the background you have greatly enhanced your probability of getting close to your target. The colors used should be based on the environment. If you are in open water, blue is your best bet. In a rocky area, chances are brownish colors will blend in better. For divers spending time in the blue and also closer to the reef, green or blends of blue and brown may be most effective. You could even consider using camo fins to match your wetsuit.
Style
There are several styles of wetsuits in use today. The simplest is a one-piece suit called a steamer. It usually has a zipper up the back or across the chest. Scuba and surfing wetsuits are often steamers but usually lack an important loading pad on the chest desired for spearfishing. That pad provides something to brace your speargun against when you cock it so that bruising or scraping of your skin is prevented. The style that is usually preferred by spearfishermen is a two-piece outfit that includes a bottom that comes above the waist or has a suspender system known as a farmer john. A long-sleeved jacket is used over the top that may or may not include a hood. The top jacket connects to the bottom with Velcro, a zipper, or clips. Some systems overlap not requiring any fasteners.
Materials
A number of materials can be included in a wetsuit with the main component being neoprene, either closed-cell or open-cell.
Closed-cell neoprene has a coating or other material on the surface that isn’t easily permeated by water. They are usually cheaper and more suitable for warmer water. Surfing wetsuits are usually closed-cell models.
Open-cell neoprene is generally used for two-piece systems and suits designed for spearfishing. Water passes through the neoprene and forms a layer between the skin and suit. The suit needs to fit snugly enough that there is little to no water flow inside the suit. The body warms the water within and it is maintained at body temperature. This system is warmer though with the snug fit required takes more effort to put it on.

Protection from the elements, whether it be the temperature, stingers, or abrasions, is key to having a safe and comfortable dive. A wetsuit plays a major role in this for everyone.
With their size and anatomical differences from men, women command special consideration in the design of one that conforms to their needs. Selecting a standard men’s suit probably won’t do it, and certainly, the worn suits available for rent are meant for the general public and may not afford a reasonable fit.
This review is meant to help you select the best wetsuit designed for a woman’s needs in the differing climates and diving environments that might be encountered.

One of the most enticing features of kayaking is how immersed in nature you become as you cruise across a lake or through the rapids of a whitewater stream. Part of the excitement is that you often get wet to one degree or another. When you are dealing with cold conditions getting wet can make you cold pretty fast without the proper protection and put you in danger of hypothermia.
In a cool to moderately cold environment, a kayaking wetsuit is a good solution. When selecting the best model for your situation, you should consider materials, thickness, style, and other features. To help you through the process, some of the best in the range of wetsuits on the market are reviewed below, starting with a comparison table, features, photos, and videos, followed by a buying guide.

The most commonly used material for wetsuits is neoprene. This is a porous and buoyant form of rubber that traps a thin layer of water between your skin and the suit. This water is warmed by your body and with a good fit doesn’t flow around thus maintaining temperature and keeping your body warm. It can be combined with other materials like nylon, polyester, or Lycra to increase comfort and elasticity for a conforming fit. Often times there is also a liner of fleece or other materials for softness and to avoid skin rashes.
Some models use advanced materials like Sharkskin or Lavacore instead of neoprene which provide good thermal properties in a thinner, lighter, less buoyant material.
Thickness
The thicker the suit, generally, the warmer it will be, especially when neoprene is the primary material. Thinner neoprene is more flexible than thicker versions. For warm-to-cool water temperatures, 3mm of neoprene will keep you warm while still having the flexibility to paddle effectively and feel comfortable. When the water is cooler and you need to go to thicker 4mm neoprene, flexibility can be compromised in favor of warmth. For that reason when the water and air get quite cold a drysuit may become the best option. For information about drysuits, please check out this article: Kayak Drysuit Review.
To combat the flexibility problem, some models use a thicker neoprene on the torso and a thinner version on the arms and lower legs. In this case, you see the thickness described as 3/2mm or 4/3mm, for example.
It is also possible to wear a thinner suit of Sharkskin, Lavacore, or Lycra as an undergarment beneath a wetsuit to add some warmth without sacrificing much flexibility.
Style
Wetsuits are configured as one-piece units or can be divided up into components to suit a variety of preferences. You can get full suits with long sleeves and legs for the coolest conditions. Short sleeves and long legs and vice versa are also a possibility. A shorty has both short sleeves and short legs. It is possible to have separate tops and bottoms that have whatever combination of short sleeves and legs that you want.
Sleeveless wetsuits, called Farmer John’s or Farmer Jane’s, are popular with paddlers because they provide the maximum freedom of movement for the arms and shoulders.
Size and Fit
For a wetsuit to be effective in providing thermal protection, it must fit snugly enough that there is minimal water circulation inside that doesn’t allow cold water from the outside to get in. On the other hand, if it fits too tightly you’ll be uncomfortable and less flexible when paddling and moving generally. Problem points can be armpits, the neck, cuffs, and the chest area. If the suit doesn’t conform to the body’s contours there are water pockets. If it is too tight it can result in pinching, chafing, and rashes.
Your best bet is to try on several models before buying. Fortunately, many wetsuits come in a wide range of sizes to suit a large variety of body shapes and sizes.
For online purchases, check the buyer’s feedback and/or contact the seller for advice on fit.
Other Features
There are several that improve the user experience.
Seams – The best method is to glue and stitch seams. This creates durability and avoids scratching and chafing that is possible for stitched-only seams.
Reinforced knees and seats can increase durability and the life of the suit and add to comfort.
A relief zipper can add a lot of convenience to what can be a very inconvenient procedure.

Surfing Wetsuit Buying Guide
Fit
The wetsuit needs to be the right size or you can have serious problems. If it is too small it can restrict movement and be irritating or uncomfortable. Wetsuits that are too large can leak or have significant water movement inside and you’ll become cold. The best bet is to try on some suits to have a concrete idea of the size that will fit you best. Otherwise, you can check the manufacturer’s information online or buyer feedback to see if there are any issues or size considerations.
Durability
The surf, sun, and bottom structure can inflict a lot of stress on a wetsuit all the more so if you are serious, surf frequently, and hope to keep your suit performing for several years. Choose a wetsuit that not only has the correct thickness for the water temperature but is otherwise made of quality materials and is well constructed, especially regarding the seams. There are several technologies in use, but generally speaking, flat-lock taped seams are the sturdiest. Check customer feedback for questions about quality and durability.
Seals
Seals at your neck, wrist, and ankles need to effectively keep outside water out. The best are flexible and comfortable and in some cases adjustable for the best fit.
Materials
Neoprene is the standard foundational material for wetsuits due to its flexibility, porosity, and relatively low price. New versions are continuously developed with increased flexibility and durability. Materials used on the surface and lining often include a combination of substances including nylon and natural fibers that are likewise flexible and add to comfort and functionality.
Flexibility
Freedom of movement is required to surf most effectively. You rely on reflexes and fluid body movement to control and manipulate the board while maintaining balance. A flexible wetsuit that behaves like your skin without restriction is the target.
Brands
Everything else aside, if you see two wetsuits with roughly the same features and materials, chances are the brand-name suit will be more reliable. The company will have a history of performance, research, and buyer feedback that have made them popular.
Price
Decent to excellent surfing wetsuits can be purchased from $30 to over $600. Shorties will be at the bottom end due to lower quantities of thinner material used than full-length models. As the thickness increases, as well as advanced materials and features, the price goes up. You’ll need to evaluate how much you want to spend based on the conditions and temperature you will experience, your capability level, and the frequency that you intend to surf. Is surfing a lifestyle for you or an occasional recreational outlet? If you surf every day and plan to for the foreseeable future, you already know the value of a top-quality wetsuit.
