How Should an C-Skins Wetsuit Fit?

C-Skins wetsuits are designed specifically for colder UK conditions, so a close, snug fit is essential. The wetsuit should sit tight against your body with no large gaps at the neck, lower back or under the arms. It may feel tight when dry, but this helps minimise water movement and retain warmth once in the water.

How to Measure for a C-Skins Wetsuit

  • Height: Measure from the top of your head to your feet.
  • Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
  • Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.
  • Weight: Use your current body weight alongside your measurements.

What If I’m Between Sizes?

If you are between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the smaller size for UK conditions. A tighter fit helps reduce water flushing and improves insulation, which is especially important when surfing or swimming in colder water.

Signs Your Wetsuit Is the Wrong Size

  • Too big: loose areas, cold water entering the suit, reduced warmth.
  • Too small: restricted breathing, tight pressure points, limited movement.
  • Good fit: snug all over, no large gaps, comfortable movement with a secure seal.
