Choosing the Right 3mm Wetsuit

A 3mm shorty or full length wetsuit is designed for warmer conditions where flexibility and comfort are just as important as warmth. It’s the most versatile option for UK surfers and watersports enthusiasts during spring, summer, and early autumn.

  • 15–20°C water temperatures – Ideal for most UK summer sessions
  • 3/2mm wetsuits – Thinner arms for flexibility, thicker body for warmth
  • Active sports – Great for surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking and more
  • Longer sessions – Keeps you warm without overheating

If you're unsure between thicknesses, a 3mm wetsuit is often the best all-round choice for UK conditions.

Why Choose a 3mm Wetsuit?

3mm wetsuits offer the perfect middle ground between lightweight summer suits and thicker winter wetsuits.

  • Better warmth than 2mm wetsuits for UK waters
  • More flexibility than 4/3mm or 5mm wetsuits
  • Ideal balance of insulation and movement
  • Suitable for most UK surfers from late spring to early autumn

For most people, a 3mm wetsuit will be the most-used suit in their lineup.

Key Features to Look For

When choosing a 3mm shorty or full length wetsuit, look for features that improve comfort and performance in warmer conditions:

  • 3/2mm construction – Flexibility in arms, warmth in core
  • Chest zip or back zip entry – Choose based on comfort and ease of use
  • Lightweight durable neoprene – Enhances movement and reduces fatigue
  • Flatlock or glued seams – Breathability vs water sealing
  • Stretch panels – Improve paddling and overall flexibility

These features help maximise performance without sacrificing comfort in warmer water.
