Why use a wetsuit specifically designed for coastal walking?

Coastal walking presents very different challenges from surfing or diving. Aquatic walking requires constant arm and leg movements, good shoulder mobility, and excellent comfort during exertion.

Coastal walking wetsuits are specially designed to meet these needs, with a focus on flexibility, freedom of movement, and temperature regulation suited to prolonged exertion.

Since 1976, we’ve seen how choosing the right wetsuit directly affects comfort, performance, and enjoyment.

Which coastal walking wetsuit should you choose?

The choice mainly depends on water temperature, how often you practice, and your level of commitment.

Occasional participants generally look for a comfortable, versatile wetsuit, while regular athletes prefer more technical models offering greater flexibility, better hydrodynamics, and increased comfort on longer outings.

A good aquatic walking wetsuit should keep you warm without restricting movement.

Men's or women's wetsuit: why does it matter?

A properly fitted wetsuit improves thermal comfort and freedom of movement. Men's Wetsuits and Women's Wetsuits feature specific cuts suited to different body types.

Well-fitted gear also limits water entry and improves performance during exertion.

Adjust your outfit to the season

Conditions change significantly throughout the year. When temperatures rise, many participants opt for a Coastal Walking Shorty for better ventilation while maintaining sufficient protection.

By contrast, cooler periods call for a full wetsuit suited to the conditions.

Coastal walking tops: a popular extra layer

Coastal Walking Tops let you fine-tune your thermal protection based on the season and the intensity of your effort.

They're especially popular for training, in the shoulder seasons, or when weather conditions change quickly throughout the day.

Accessories that boost comfort

A high-performance wetsuit is the foundation of your gear, but some Coastal Walking Accessories can make your sessions even more comfortable and practical.

These complementary pieces of gear make for a more enjoyable experience, especially on longer outings or during competitions.

FAQ

Long-distance swimming suits

How to choose your long-coast wetsuit?
Choose your wetsuit based on the water temperature, the duration of your sessions, and your sensitivity to the cold. Opt for a flexible neoprene and a fitted cut that allows you to walk, lift your knees, and move your arms freely. The thickness and body coverage should match your practice conditions.

What thickness of wetsuit should you choose for long-distance swimming?
Thin models are more suitable for mild conditions, while a 4/3 or 5/4/3 mm wetsuit provides more insulation when the water cools down. The numbers indicate the thicknesses of neoprene according to the areas of the garment. Also, check the model recommendations: the lining, seams, and fit influence thermal comfort.

Should you choose a full wetsuit, a shorty, or a long john?
An integral suit covers the arms and legs for more complete thermal protection. A shorty leaves the legs partially exposed and can have short or long sleeves. Long johns cover the legs while leaving the arms free. Choose based on the water temperature and the desired freedom of movement.

How to choose the size of your long-distance swimming wetsuit?
Compare your measurements to the size guide of the model: height, chest circumference, waist, and hips. The suit should fit the body without restricting breathing or movement. Significant wrinkles or pockets at the back and inseam may indicate a size that is too large.

Which closure to choose for a long-coast wetsuit?
The closure influences the fit and comfort. On some Ocean Step Optimizer models, the Dual Zip system combines a front and back opening. The Performer U-Zip models feature a closure at the chest designed to maintain shoulder mobility. Check the details of each model before making your choice.

Can a wetsuit be used for long-distance swimming?
Yes, if its thickness is suitable for the conditions and if its cut allows for comfortable walking in the water. A wetsuit specifically designed for long-distance walking in the water can, however, offer practical details tailored to this activity: openings that make it easy to put on, pockets, or construction that enhances mobility.

What accessories to wear with a long-coast wetsuit?
Water shoes or booties suitable for walking complete the outfit. Choose a sole that offers good protection and grip suitable for the terrain. Depending on the temperature, neoprene gloves and a hood can also enhance comfort during outings.

How to maintain your wetsuit after a long coast session?
Rinse your wetsuit with fresh cold water after each session, both inside and out. Let it dry in the shade in a ventilated area, avoiding hanging it wet by the shoulders. Avoid hot water, the dryer, and heat sources. Use a cleaner suitable for neoprene if necessary.
