A 6/5/4 means 6mm torso and back, 5mm legs and 4mm arms. The second number always represents the arms and legs, but if there’s a third number the second number dictates the thickness of the leg panels while the third let’s you know how thick the arm panels are.Ī 5/3mm wetsuit means 5mm neoprene on the torso and back with 3mm panels at the arms and legs. The first number always indicates the biggest neoprene panel, the back and torso. Thicker panels give you more warmth, but generally have less flexibility and less freedom of movement.

Men's Wetsuits Mystic offers many different wetsuit models for men. Pair them with some nice boardshorts and you’re good to go. They’ll give you great freedom of movement with maximum protection from the sun. They’re great for surfing in the tropics or other warmer waters.

You can have these with long sleeves, short sleeves or sleeveless. Neoprene tops, vests, lycra’s and rash guards Tops generally are just shirts made from thinner panels of neoprene or lycra. A shorty still offers some protection against those harmful ultraviolet radiations. Still, staying out in the sun for too long can be dangerous. And why shouldn’t you?

This still gives you the same protection against the sun, but allows for more freedom of movement because thinner panels are more stretchy. Springsuits Springsuits are a version of fullsuit with thinner neoprene panels. Fullsuits can be found in all kinds of neoprene thicknesses, but you’ll generally find them in 5/3mm, 4/3mm and 3/2mm. Of course, you can also wear a fullsuit during Summer, but you’d might want to switch to a springsuit, shorty or even boardshorts. Fullsuits mostly come in handy most time of year, but you really reap the benefits during Spring, Fall and Winter. Don’t forget to put eco-friendly sun block on all parts exposed. Fullsuits offer full protection from the sun's UV-radiation, which is very nice when you’re out there for hours. Fullsuits Fullsuits will cover your entire body, except for your hands, feet and your head or neck. Wetsuits come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes, made solely to keep you surfing for as long as possible.
