With a 5mm wetsuit in particular, choosing the right size is crucial so that it gives you the maximum amount of warmth. Since the sizes can vary depending on the wetsuit brand and model, you can find a size chart for every 5mm men's wetsuit in the Kitemana online shop.

A 5mm wetsuit is recommended from a water temperature of approx. 8 degrees Celsius. If you are not very sensitive to the cold, you may be able to wear your 5mm wetsuit up to a water temperature of 5 degrees Celsius. When kitesurfing, however, you should pay attention to the wind chill factor, which can cause the perceived temperature to be significantly below the actual temperature in strong winds.

The thicker the neoprene of a wetsuit, the less flexible it will feel. But if you are looking for a wetsuit for colder kitesurfing sessions, then a 5mm men's wetsuit is a good compromise between sufficient warmth and freedom of movement. Usually, a 5mm wetsuit on the extremities is made of thinner neoprene to give you the flexibility you need for kitesurfing.

A 5mm wetsuit is a good choice, especially in Northern European in spring and autumn, when the air temperatures are inconsistent and the water is not really warm yet. You can also use your 5mm wetsuit in winter and, if necessary, upgrade it with additional warmth with neoprene accessories. Though, you should have an additional 2mm or 3mm wetsuit in the closet for very warm summer days. To make sure that your 5mm men's wetsuit keeps you nice and warm in winter, it should have a warm lining and high quality seams. In addition, a wetsuit with a front zip keeps your warmth better than a wetsuit with a back zip. Furthermore, you will cool down less quickly in a 5mm wetsuit with a hood. For very cold sessions you can equip your 5mm men's wetsuit with accessories such as neoprene shoes, gloves and a neoprene top to wear underneath.

Whether you should choose your 5mm with or without an integrated hood primarily depends on what you expect from your wetsuit. If you want maximum warmth on the water for cold temperatures, you can't go wrong with a 5mm wetsuit with a hood, otherwise you will lose a lot of body heat through your head. But if you want to be flexible and have a lot of freedom of movement in your 5mm wetsuit on warmer days, then you should choose a 5mm men's wetsuit without a fixed hood, which you can always upgrade with a single hood if necessary.

Both a frontzip and a backzip wetsuit have both advantages and disadvantages. A 5mm men's wetsuit with front zip adapts better to your body and, thanks to the small zip at the front, lets in less water than a back zip. On the other hand, you can put on and take off a 5mm backzip wetsuit more comfortably than a frontzip wetsuit thanks to the large entry on the back.
