To make sure that your 5mm women's wetsuit keeps you warm, it should fit like a second skin. Therefore, you should determine the right size based on your body measurements. That is why you will find a size chart for every wetsuit model in the Kitemana online shop, from which you can read off your size.

Whether you are warm enough in a 5mm wetsuit in winter depends on the one hand on the conditions in which you want to kitesurf and on the other hand on your personal perception of cold. A 5mm wetsuit is recommended up to a water temperature of 5-8 degrees Celsius, which roughly corresponds to the water temperature of the North or Baltic Sea in winter. However, when kitesurfing, the actual temperature can feel much colder as it actually is due to wind chill. In any case, you should wear accessories such as neoprene shoes, gloves and a hood in winter. In addition, on very cold days you can give your 5mm wetsuit more warmth with a neoprene top or a neoprene jacket.

The summer in Northern Europe can be very changeable and inconsistent, which is why a 5mm womens wetsuit on colder summer days is a good choice. However, if both the air temperature and the water temperature are very warm, it makes sense to have a thinner wetsuit ready as a backup.

How comfortable your 5mm wetsuit is depends on how well it fits and how well it is made. Therefore, it isimportant that you choose the right size for your 5mm women´s wetsuit. So that your wetsuit feels comfortable on the inside and does not rub, the seams should be sealed with tape. This also has the effect that less water can get inside your 5mm wetsuit. A soft inner lining makes the wetsuit feel good on your skin and also keeps you nice and warm.

A 5mm frontzip wetsuit has the advantage that less water can get inside your wetsuit through the smaller zipper on the chest than with a 5mm backzip wetsuit. On the other hand, putting it on and taking it off is easier with a back zip than with a front zip. So if you expect maximum warmth from your 5mm womens wetsuit, you should choose a 5mm frontzip wetsuit. If more comfort when putting on and taking off is more important to you, then a backzip wetsuit is the right choice.

When you have found a high quality 5mm womens wetsuit in the right size, very little water should be able to get inside. But, a wetsuit only develops its maximum warmth when there is a thin layer of water between the skin and the neoprene. However, not too much water should get into your 5mm womens wetsuit. That’s why it is important that the seams are high quality and sealed and that your 5mm wetsuit does not wrinkle on your body, in other words, that you have chosen the right size. A 5mm wetsuit with a front zip also allows less water to get inside the wetsuit than with a back zip.

A hood on your 5mm wetsuit prevents you from loosing too much body heat over your head. You can equip every wetsuit model with an additional hood. You can find neoprene hoods in the Kitemana online shop in the section „accessories“.
