The neoprene shorty: the ideal suit for sunny days
The neoprene shorty is the preferred choice of many practitioners when temperatures rise. Lighter than a full wetsuit, it offers excellent freedom of movement while providing sufficient thermal protection to comfortably enjoy summer sessions.
Since 1976, we have seen that the shorty remains one of the most appreciated pieces of equipment as soon as the water exceeds temperatures that require a full wetsuit. It allows for extended sessions while maintaining a particularly pleasant feeling of lightness.

When to use a shorty?
The shorty is generally recommended for waters between 18°C and 24°C depending on individual sensitivity to cold. It effectively protects the torso while leaving the arms and legs freer, which enhances comfort during long sessions.
Practitioners looking for more thermal protection can turn to our Men's Wetsuits, Women's Wetsuits, or Children's Wetsuits according to their needs and the conditions encountered.
Shorty or full wetsuit?
This question often arises among practitioners. The shorty prioritizes freedom of movement and comfort in temperate to warm waters. The full wetsuit, on the other hand, offers better thermal insulation when temperatures drop.
The choice mainly depends on the season, the region of practice, and the time spent in the water. For summer vacations and sunny destinations, the shorty often remains the most comfortable solution.
An ideal solution for many water sports
The shorty is not limited to surfing. It is also highly appreciated in bodyboarding, paddleboarding, snorkeling, kayaking, coastal walking, and wakeboarding. Its versatility makes it a particularly sought-after piece of equipment during the summer months.
This ability to adapt to different practices explains its success among both casual and regular practitioners.
Useful accessories depending on conditions
Even during the hottest periods, certain accessories can enhance comfort. Neoprene Tops provide additional protection against the wind, while Neoprene Booties are appreciated at certain rocky spots or during morning sessions.
When temperatures start to drop, Neoprene Gloves and Neoprene Hoods also help extend the use of equipment during the transitional seasons.
Caring for your shorty to make it last longer
Like any neoprene wetsuit, a shorty deserves regular maintenance. Rinsing it with fresh water after each session helps eliminate salt, sand, and impurities that could damage the materials.
Using Neoprene Care products also helps preserve the flexibility of the neoprene and increase the lifespan of the equipment.
