The variety of wetsuits is very wide, having different models based on what they cover, for example, they are full or long (they cover the whole body), short (they do not have cloth from the elbow to the wrist, nor from the knee to the ankle), long John y short long. Without forgetting that we can find neoprene pants and jackets. We can also differentiate the surfing suits by their closure system. In this aspect we have mainly three models: the classic suit with the vertical zipper in the area of the back, or a horizontal zipper in the chest area, or else the one that is becoming more fashionable lately is that of not having zippers introducing you by the neck through an opening of the upper part of the suit. The latter are the ones used for waves currently because less water enters. Another way to differentiate them is whether or not they are sealed, that is, if they have some type of rivet in the seams that makes water entry even more impossible. For winter or cold water, this is essential, although we can al-ways use the suits with batteries that warm you in the most vital or necessary areas of the body.
As for the care of them, it is essential to rinse them with fresh water after the session and even occasionally with cleaning products specific to the neoprene that you can find in your usual store. We should also try not expose them to the sun in order not to deteriorate them.
To finish this discipline, tell you that it is possible to surf the waves using only swimsuit or even combining them with jackets of neoprene, lycras or cotton shirts depending on the water tempera-ture or solar radiation.
