Function of a neoprene top

A neoprene top is essential in summer. It protects you first of all from the sun. It avoids all the irritations notably of the wax in surf or the harness which rubs in kitesurf or windsurf. It brings warmth for morning or late sessions, and protects the wind.

Thickness for a neoprene top

The thickness of neoprene tops varies between 0.5 and 3mm. This is the main feature, it corresponds to the water temperature of your region, the air temp and the strength of the wind.

The thicker the neoprene, the warmer it will be, but it will be less flex.

Neoprene quality

The price differences you will notice come directly from the type of neoprene itself. Choose super stretch to have a flexible and comfortable product. Entry-level neoprenes tend to cause irritation and wrinkling.

Seams

Even if this feature is more important on full winter wetsuits, it is a key point. The flat-lock seams (goes through the neoprene) are more flexible. The sewn / glued seams (GBS) are more technical (they don't go through the neoprene): waterproof and very comfortable on the skin (no irritation).

Make room for originality with sober and elegant colors. It's also a great way to be able to differentiate yourself in the water.

Size ?

A neoprene top like a full suit should always fit properly. This results in fewer wrinkles and less water ingress.

When dry it is normal to feel too tight, this discomfort disappears as soon as the top gets wet. Also keep in mind that neoprene relaxes over time.

Neoprene care

A neoprene top is rinsed with plenty of fresh water after each session. Dry in the shade without using a hanger. These tips are important because they increase the life of your top.

The difference between a neoprene top and a lycra?

A lycra does not provide heat and does not block the wind.
Choose lycra only for protection from the sun and chafing.
