How do you know what size wetsuit to get?
Sizing for Full Wetsuits and Springsuits:

- Regarding length, it’s generally OK if the suit is a little on the long side.
- If in between two sizes, take the larger size.
How do you size a swimsuit for a wetsuit?
Here are some guideline for choosing what size will be best:
- A person’s weight is more critical than their height.
- Athletes who have never worn a wetsuit before tend to prefer a Comfort fit so start with the bigger size.
- If you have experience of using a wetsuit and are looking for a Performance fit, try the smaller size.
How do I know if my wetsuit is too small?
A properly fitting wetsuit should be very snug against your entire body with no bagginess or gaps. The wetsuit should feel like a second skin with little to no wrinkles across the major areas of the suit (torso, length of arms, thighs) and little to no gathers in the underarms or crotch areas.
Should you size up in wetsuits?
In short, no. You will find that it does not make too much difference whether you are buying a winter or summer wetsuit in terms of sizing. The only difference is the thickness – a winter wetsuit will feel tighter than a summer version, but the fit should be exactly the same.
Is it OK to pee in a wetsuit?
Urinating inside a dry wetsuit is definitely not a good idea – it will start stinking and corroding the seams and stitching of your second skin. While in the lineup, if peeing is the only option, let some saltwater get in and drain out, avoiding lying down on your board for a long time.
How tight should a Swimskin be?
A swimskin is designed to be very snug and worn only during the swim leg. Just note that sleeves that cover your shoulders cannot legally be worn in a non-wetsuit swim, so if your race kit has them, you’ll need to roll down the top half of your kit under your swimskin or risk disqualification.
How do you know if a tech suit fits?
The compression zones and construction pattern of today’s technical suits should provide a nice snug fit from shoulders down, and shouldn’t cut into you anywhere. The shoulders will be squeezing down, but you should feel just as much horizontal compression across the chest and torso as you feel down on your shoulders.
How snug should a wetsuit fit?
In general, a wetsuit should fit snugly, like a second skin but not so tight that your range of motion is limited. The sleeves (if full-length) should fall at the wrist bone and the legs just above the ankle bone, and there should be no gaps, pockets, or rolls of neoprene.
