In longe côte, the wetsuit is not everything. For a pleasant, safe, and sustainable practice, it is essential to be well equipped with suitable longe côte accessories. Whether you are a beginner or experienced, the right accessories guarantee your thermal protection, your comfort, and your safety throughout your outing. Here is the complete list of essentials for walking in the sea with peace of mind.
1. Protect the extremities: feet, hands, head
Seawater can quickly cause heat loss through the extremities. To avoid discomfort or hypothermia, consider these cold protection accessories:
- Neoprene longshore slippers: protect feet from cold, rocks, and shells. Choose a thickness suitable for the season (2 to 5 mm).
- Neoprene longshore gloves : essential for keeping hands warm and maintaining finger mobility. They also provide better grip on the paddle.
- Neoprene hood Or bonnet to avoid heat loss through the head, especially in winter. Ideal for those who are more sensitive to the cold.
💡 These items are part of the head/hands/feet thermal protection, essential for cold waters or long sessions.
2. Comfort and safety above all
Besides the heat, some water walking accessories enhance your comfort and safety at sea:
- Floatation belt: useful for beginners, seniors, or during long distances. It promotes stability without hindering movement.
- Water walking glasses : protect the eyes from salt, splashes, and the sun. Opt for anti-UV and anti-fog lenses.
- Aquatic sun protection water-resistant cream, lip stick, visors, to avoid sunburn in summer.
👉 These long coast accessories make a real difference in comfort during practice and are recommended from the first outing.
