These are typical ranges only — each brand has its own chart with different sizes such as short (S) and tall (T) versions. Always use the manufacturer’s chart for the model you are buying.
Wetsuit thickness by water temperature
| Water temperature | Suggested suit |
|---|---|
| Above 75°F (24°C) | Rash guard or 1–2 mm top |
| 65–75°F (18–24°C) | 2 mm shorty or 3/2 mm spring suit |
| 58–65°F (14–18°C) | 3/2 mm full suit |
| 52–58°F (11–14°C) | 4/3 mm full suit, boots optional |
| 43–52°F (6–11°C) | 5/4 mm or 5/4/3 mm with hood and boots |
| Below 43°F (6°C) | 6/5 mm with hood, gloves and boots |
The first number is the torso thickness and the second the arms and legs. Wind, air temperature, activity level and how cold you run all matter — divers who are less active usually need more warmth than surfers at the same water temperature.
How a wetsuit should fit
- Snug everywhere, like a second skin, with no loose folds or air pockets at the back, armpits or knees.
- You should be able to raise your arms overhead and squat without the suit pulling too hard at the shoulders or crotch.
- The neck seal should be close but not choking.
- Wrist and ankle cuffs should sit at the wrist and ankle bones.
- A new suit feels tight on dry land; neoprene relaxes slightly in the water.
How to measure
- Height without shoes.
- Weight.
- Chest or bust at the fullest part.
- Waist at the narrowest part.
- Hips at the widest part.
- Inseam, if the brand lists it.
If your height and weight point to different sizes, the chest and weight usually matter most; try both if you can.
Types of wetsuit
| Type | Use |
|---|---|
| Full suit | Most conditions; long arms and legs |
| Spring suit / shorty | Warm water; short arms and/or legs |
| Long john / jane | Sleeveless full-leg suit for paddling and warm days |
| Triathlon suit | Swimming-specific: thin arms for flexibility, buoyant panels |
| Diving suit | Thicker, durable, often with integrated hood |
Care and storage
- Rinse in fresh, cool water after every use, inside and out.
- Dry inside out in the shade — sunlight degrades neoprene.
- Hang on a wide hanger or fold over a bar; don’t hang by the shoulders for long periods.
- Use wetsuit shampoo occasionally, never hot water or a washing machine unless the maker allows.
- Repair small tears early with neoprene cement.

Frequently asked questions
How tight should a wetsuit be?
Snug like a second skin, with no loose folds, but still allowing full movement.
What thickness wetsuit do I need?
It depends on water temperature: 3/2 mm for about 58–65°F, 4/3 mm for 52–58°F, 5/4 mm below that.
What does 4/3 mean?
4 mm neoprene on the torso and 3 mm on arms and legs.
Should I size up or down?
Choose by the brand’s chart; if between sizes, try both — a suit that is too loose lets water flush through.
Was AI used to create the charts?
The charts were generated by script and text drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed before publishing. Brand charts take priority.
