How Should C-Skins Wetsuit Accessories Fit?

C-Skins wetsuit boots, gloves and hoods are designed for colder UK waters, so a close fit is key. Accessories should sit snugly against the skin with minimal movement, helping to prevent cold water entering and maintain insulation. They may feel tight when first worn, but should not restrict circulation or cause discomfort.

How to Measure for C-Skins Boots, Gloves & Hoods

  • Boots: Use your regular UK shoe size as a guide. A snug fit helps prevent water entering and improves warmth.
  • Gloves: Measure around the widest part of your hand (excluding the thumb).
  • Hoods: Measure around your head just above your eyebrows and ears.

What If I’m Between Sizes?

If you are between sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size for a closer fit. This helps reduce water movement inside the accessory and improves insulation, which is especially important in colder UK conditions.

Signs Your Accessories Are the Wrong Size

  • Too big: water flushing, loose fit and reduced warmth.
  • Too small: tight pressure, restricted circulation or discomfort.
  • Good fit: snug and secure with minimal movement and effective warmth retention.
