wetsuit technology

Wetsuit technology relies on neoprene, a foam material that traps small air bubbles to insulate and keep you warm in water. Modern wetsuits enhance insulation with thicker neoprene in key areas and use stretchier fabrics for better flexibility. Some incorporate linings that wick moisture away or reduce friction, making movement easier. Seal designs around the wrists, ankles, and collar minimize water entry, maintaining warmth. Advanced wetsuits may also feature thermal lining layers or specialized coatings to improve heat retention. Overall, these innovations work together to provide optimal thermal protection while allowing freedom of movement in aquatic environments.
