Shorty
Neoprene Shorties - Short Wetsuits
A shorty, meaning a short 2.5mm to 3mm wetsuit, may not necessarily be the most popular choice among divers since the body tends to lose heat quite quickly underwater, and divers often prefer a full-length wetsuit. There's simply no natural water warmer than 37°C, and any water cooler than our body temperature literally 'steals' the warmth, causing us to feel cold. This is especially true while diving since the body is completely surrounded by water, and divers do not typically engage in intense movements. This is why even tropical waters at nearly 30°C can feel chilly after a while unless we protect ourselves with neoprene.
Shorty - The Perfect Wetsuit for Various Water Sports
Therefore, a shorty is only suitable for those who are relatively insensitive to the cold. However, a short wetsuit is excellent as a snorkeling suit, surfing suit, wetsuit for rowing or wakeboarding, swimming suit, or for all kinds of water sports.
Short Wetsuits as Protection Against Cool Water and Sun Exposure
A shorty protects the upper body from heat loss during water sports, both in the water and on the surface in windy or cool weather. Additionally, a shorty provides essential UV protection while snorkeling, rowing, surfing, or swimming but still allows enough freedom of movement to enjoy any water sport activities.
Neoprene Shorties for Adults and Kids in Our Dive Shop
In our online dive shop, we have a fine selection of shorties in various styles, in neoprene thicknesses from 2.5mm to 3mm, with front or back zippers, and even high-quality short wetsuits for children. If a 3mm shorty feels too cold, and you still want a short wetsuit, you might like to try a neoprene vest, either a 5mm or 6mm ice vest with or without a hood, which you can find in our Divestore under the 7mm wetsuit category.
If you are looking for further wetsuit options, such as a good 3mm, 5mm, or 7mm diving suit, a dry suit, a neoprene shirt or UV shirt, and matching neoprene accessories like neoprene gloves, booties, or hoods, along with helpful care products for neoprene – you'll find them all here in our online dive shop, along with the necessary advice and information.
