That's it! The cold has settled in France after a very mild start to winter, temperatures are dropping seriously and it's time to equip yourself with the warmest possible suits until the arrival of spring.
But faced with the choice of models, ranges and options, one can quickly wonder which combination to choose for winter?
Now more than ever, I recommend investing in high-end, quality wetsuits that will protect you from the cold while making your winter sessions (generally more challenging) easier and more comfortable. It's certainly an investment, but we offer payment plans of 4 installments spread over 3 months. And this will save you from having to buy a second wetsuit next winter.
We start with the sure thing and our best seller for the last 2 seasons, the 5.4mm balaclava in Premium Limestone.
Its main advantage is its lightness , offering comfort and freedom of movement, rare for a 5.4mm wetsuit. The hood can be removed if the sun is too hot or if there isn't too much hiking to do to reach the peak. This is the wetsuit chosen by Pierre Louis Costes, Joan Duru, and Maud Le Car in the middle of winter.
When talking about warmth, how can we not mention our Yamamoto Japanese neoprene range? Even the most sensitive to the cold can dip their toes in the water without worrying about the temperature. Unparalleled insulation that only the Japanese know how to make. And depending on the region, the 3.2mm version will be sufficient!
The price-to-performance ratio of our 4.3mm Premium Limestone is unbeatable. It's the choice of many of our ambassadors, like Joan Duru . Hand-assembled, ultra-lightweight, comfortable, and durable. Pair it with a separate hood for the coldest sessions.
The most eco-friendly winter suit on the market , made from Yulex natural rubber . Still hand-assembled in our workshop and provides excellent insulation against the cold. This season, at the same price as our Premium Limestone!
In summary, there is no perfect combination for everyone. It is up to you to make your choice according to your preferences and criteria: warmth (5.4mm hood and 4.3mm Yamamoto), comfort (4.3mm premium limestone and 3.2mm Yamamoto for surfing in 3mm in winter), eco-responsibility with the Yulex.
Finally, it's worth remembering that proper wetsuit maintenance is essential for its longevity. A well-maintained wetsuit will keep you warm for a long time. See our article on wetsuit maintenance.
