Tips On Buying Your First Women’s Wetsuit

Martina from Sisters Of Stoke, a local women’s surfing group, gives you some advice on buying your first womens wetsuit.

Finding the Right Fit

A properly fitting hooded wetsuit is key to staying warm. The suit should feel snug without restricting movement, with the hood sitting close to the head to prevent water entry while remaining comfortable around the neck and chin.

Women’s wetsuits are shaped to improve fit through the hips, chest, and shoulders, allowing for better flexibility and comfort. A close fit helps trap heat while preventing cold water from entering the suit.


Key Features to Look For

  • Integrated hood – Provides full head coverage to reduce heat loss.
  • Chest zip entry – Minimises water entry and improves insulation.
  • Glued and blind-stitched seams – Helps keep cold water out.
  • Thermal linings – Retain heat and improve comfort in cold conditions.
  • Flexible neoprene – Maintains freedom of movement for paddling and performance.

Women's Hooded Wetsuit FAQs

Why Choose a Women’s Hooded Wetsuit?

When water temperatures drop, a hooded wetsuit becomes essential for staying warm and extending your time in the water. By covering your head and reducing heat loss, hooded wetsuits help maintain core body temperature and protect against cold winds and harsh conditions.

They are especially effective in UK winter surf, where wind chill and low air temperatures can quickly reduce comfort. A built-in hood creates a secure seal, helping to minimise flushing and keep warmth locked in during longer sessions.

When Do You Need a Hooded Wetsuit?

In the UK, hooded wetsuits are typically worn during the coldest months when water temperatures drop below 10–12°C. They are ideal for winter surfing, exposed coastal conditions, and longer sessions where maintaining warmth is essential.

If you feel cold around the head or experience significant wind chill, switching to a hooded wetsuit can make a noticeable difference in comfort and performance.
