Neoprene Men's Wetsuits for All Water Sports

A wetsuit is an essential piece of equipment for water sports. We offer one of the widest selections in Italy of neoprene men's wetsuits for the most popular aquatic disciplines: wetsuits for kitesurfing, wing foiling, SUP, windsurfing, and surfing.

The brands we carry stand out for their technological research and high-quality production. In our store, you will find men's wetsuits by ION; Manera; Mystic; Neilpryde; O’Neill; Rip Curl and Prolimit.

How to Choose the Right Men's Wetsuit

A men's wetsuit for water sports must fit like a second skin. Neoprene may initially feel stiff and restrictive, but use will soften it. As noted in our wetsuit buyer's guide, a wetsuit that is too loose will let cold water in, while one that is too tight will restrict your freedom of movement. Carefully evaluate the mobility requirements of your chosen sport before selecting the most suitable wetsuit.

Choosing a Men's Wetsuit Based on Thickness and Seasonality

Seasonality is key to your choice. The lower the outside temperature, the thicker the wetsuit needs to be.

You cannot use the same gear for surfing in tropical waters as you would for kitesurfing in cold conditions. In the first case, you’ll need 2/2 or 3/2 protection; in the second, 5/4 or 6/5. The thickness of neoprene wetsuits is indicated this way. The numbers are expressed in millimeters. The first digit indicates the thickness on the chest; the second refers to the legs and arms.

Men's summer wetsuits are suitable for mild and warm waters. Men's winter wetsuits and drysuits protect against biting cold and feature a more substantial layer of neoprene.

Choosing a Men's Wetsuit Based on the Water Sport

Men's wetsuits differ depending on the sport they are designed for.

Some disciplines require maximum mobility, while others necessitate high thermal protection.

Surf wetsuits, for example, prioritize flexibility and freedom of movement, whereas kitesurfing and wing foiling require more wind resistance and additional thermal panels. For windsurfing, a wetsuit that balances arm mobility and impact protection is ideal. For SUP, superior thermal insulation comes into play.

How to Choose the Correct Men's Wetsuit Size

Your wetsuit must grant you freedom of movement, protect you from the cold, UV rays, and impacts, and insulate you as much as possible from moisture. It must fit perfectly. Ideally, it should fit snugly when dry, as neoprene tends to loosen when wet.

If you use wetsuit accessories such as boots, gloves, hoods/caps, thermal tops, or rash guards, you should have them with you when trying on your new gear for the first time.

Our advice is to take your body measurements. There may be slight differences between manufacturers in how sizes are defined. You won't have any issues if you know your measurements at these three key points:

• Chest: using a tape measure, take the measurement at the fullest part of the chest, closing the tape securely for an accurate reading;

• Waist: similarly, check the measurement above the navel, at the narrowest part of the waist;

• Hips: measure by placing the tape at the widest part of the hips/glutes.
