Neopren
Wetsuits provide thermal insulation and high flexibility, making them suitable for active watersports such as dinghy sailing.
Wetsuits for active watersports
Wetsuits are designed for high-movement activities on the water and fit closely to the body. This creates an insulating layer that helps prevent cooling while maintaining flexibility. Compared to dry systems, they offer greater mobility and are well suited for performance-oriented sailing.
Comfort and protection during movement
Many models include reinforced areas at the knees and seat. These features improve comfort during common onboard movements such as kneeling or sitting, while also providing abrasion resistance. The elastic material supports natural movement even during intensive use.
Options for different conditions
The range includes various designs such as long johns, shorties, and neoprene shorts. Depending on temperature and activity, the appropriate option can be selected. Wetsuits are commonly used in dinghy sailing and classes such as Skiffs and Dighys.
Materials and development
In addition to standard neoprene, advanced materials are used to enhance comfort. These may include improved breathability or increased flexibility. Features such as wind- and water-repellent surfaces support heat retention and usability in changing conditions.
