Design details
Stay warm for longer thanks to our thermal accessories!Each temperature range has its own outfit...
When we are in the water, we lose more than half of our body heat through our extremities (feet, hands, head). Consequently, here are the recommended accessories:
- in warm water and temperate water (>17°C) => neoprene low booties.
- in cold water (12–17°C): High booties (boots) and gloves.
- in very cold water (7–12°C): High booties (boots), gloves, hood and hooded top.
How to choose the right booties
The first selection criterion when choosing a surf bootie is water temperature. Water temperature varies according to the location and the time of the year.
Systematically make sure that the water temperature at your spot corresponds to the recommended temperature range:
Warm water above 20°C. Temperate water between 17°C and 22°C. Cold water between 12°C and 17°C. Very cold water between 7°C and 12°C. Visit the site seatemperature.org to find out the temperature of your spot.
Choose the right size
Surfing boots should be a very tight fit to ensure the best possible thermal efficiency. It is perfectly normal for it to feel like they are too tight when tried on dry. Choose well-adjusted boots to ensure better support and avoid their being filled with water when surfing.
Materials
3 mm surf booties are made from neoprene for improved comfort during use.
The neoprene is lined with synthetic fabric for increased resistance to wear.
Neoprene thickness: 3 mm. The neoprene is made from an elastomer foam with insulating properties.
We test and guarantee the quality of our neoprene materials.
Watertight assembly
The seams are stitched and glued to guarantee waterproofing and resistance. The seams are blind-stitched. the thread does not go all the way through the neoprene, preventing water from getting through. The absence of threads on the inside avoids irritation and chafing.
Comfort and reinforcement patches are strategically placed on the inside in sensitive areas.Warning: water can, however, come through the zip.
Watersports booties
Our surf booties are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with many watersports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, sea wading or SUP (stand-up paddleboarding).
