A Guide to Summer Wetsuits

Summer wetsuits are designed for warmer water conditions, where flexibility and comfort are just as important as insulation. In the UK, summer water temperatures typically range from around 14°C to 20°C, meaning lighter wetsuits are ideal for maintaining freedom of movement while providing protection.

Rather than a single style, summer wetsuits include a range of options suited to different activities, conditions, and personal preferences.

How to Choose the Right Summer Setup

Choosing the right summer wetsuit depends on how and where you’ll be using it:

  • Water temperature – Warmer water allows for lighter, more flexible wetsuits
  • Activity type – Surfing, swimming, and paddleboarding all require slightly different levels of flexibility
  • Session length – Longer sessions may still require more coverage for comfort
  • Personal preference – Some prefer full suits, while others opt for lighter or shorter styles

A well-chosen summer setup helps you stay comfortable without overheating, while maintaining full freedom of movement.

Understanding Your Warm Water Options

Summer wetsuits come in several styles depending on the level of warmth and flexibility you need:

  • Lightweight full wetsuits – Ideal for cooler summer days or longer sessions
  • Shorty wetsuits – Short arms and legs for maximum freedom in warmer conditions
  • Sleeveless wetsuits – Designed for high flexibility and minimal restriction
  • Men’s, women’s, and kids’ options – Tailored fits for comfort and performance

Explore the options above to find the right summer wetsuit for your next session.

Why Summer Wetsuits Are Different

Unlike winter wetsuits, summer wetsuits prioritise flexibility and comfort:

  • Lighter neoprene for improved movement
  • Reduced thickness to prevent overheating
  • Greater freedom through arms and shoulders
  • Designed for warmer air and water temperatures

This makes them ideal for surfing, swimming, and a wide range of watersports during the warmer months.

Typical UK Summer Setup

Lightweight full wetsuit OR shorty wetsuit. Minimal accessories (Don't forget UV Protection). Focus on flexibility and comfort.
