In order to get the maximum performance out of your wetsuit, it is important to choose the right size. That can differ depending on the wetsuit brand and model. That's why you will find a size chart for every wetsuit in the Kitemana online shop, which tells you, which size corresponds to your body measurements.

A long steamer 4mm wetsuit is recommended from a water temperature of 12 degrees, whereby the air temperature should be at least as warm. In addition, your personal perception of cold also plays a role. Also the wind chill factor is also an important factor to consider when kitesurfing, because often the air temperature appears cooler, especially in strong winds.

In spring and autumn, kitesurfing should be possible with a 4mm wetsuit, although of course it also depends on whether you are very sensitive to the cold or not. If you don’t want an extra winter wetsuit when both, the water and the air temperature drop below 12 degrees, you should give your 4mm wetsuit additional warmth with accessories such as a neoprene jacket, shoes, a hood and gloves.

Whether you should choose a 4mm men's wetsuit with front zip or back zip for kitesurfing depends on what you expect from your wetsuit. A front zip ensures that your wetsuit can adapt better to your body and that it keeps you warmer, as less water can get into your wetsuit through the small zipper at the front. A backzip wetsuit, on the other hand, offers more comfort when putting it on and taking it off due to the large entry.

If both the water temperature and the air temperature are above 12 degrees in spring and autumn in Northern Europe, a 4mm wetsuit should be sufficient. If you are particularly sensitive to the cold, or if you often go kitesurfing in strong winds, you can add extra warmth to your 4mm wetsuit with accessories such as a neoprene hoody or a neoprene jacket.

In summer a 4mm men's wetsuit should be sufficient. On very cold and inconsistent days with a lot of wind, you can add more warmth to your wetsuit with accessories such as a neoprene jacket.

A 4mm wetsuit often has thinner neoprene on the arms and legs to give you more flexibility where you need it. On the upper body, where the wetsuit should keep you particularly warm, it has 4mm. In addition, not only the thickness of the neoprene plays a role for freedom of movement, but also the number of seams. The more seams a wetsuit has, the better it can adapt to your body. However, many seams also reduce the warming function of the wetsuit, so a compromise is necessary here.

In our Kitemana online shop we regularly have different 4mm wetsuits for men from many brands on sale. You can find these in our online shop under the section "Sale". You can also contact us any time for an individual offer!
