WETSUIT FITTING GUIDE
All size chart can be found on each individual product throughout the website, here is a basic fitting guide, Wetsuit, and Drysuit sizing.
THE GUL FIT:
Gul continues to develop the fit and sizing. One of
the most important factors when buying technical apparel is the fit. If the
garment doesn’t fit correctly if it isn’t comfortable it won’t perform to
its’ designed capability. When it comes to wetsuits if the suit fits too
loose, there will be cold water entering and you’ll never stay warm. A suit
which is too small or large can also cause a rash. Guls’ 45+ years of
wetsuit design and engineering helps ensure an excellent fit.
HOW A WETSUIT WORKS:
A wetsuit creates a barrier against nature's extreme elements by utilising the insulating properties of closed cell neoprene. Neoprene is a closed cell foam made up of thousands of tiny air bubbles known as cells. The air within these tiny cells creates a barrier which slows down the conduction of heat and allows your body heat to be retained.
NEOPRENE:
Guls’ focus is to use the worlds’ best neoprene and fabric innovations
available. All materials used in the range are manufactured to Guls’
specifications in order to have the right combination of warmth,
strength, flexibility and durability. Gul has its own QC
inspectors at the factory source who remove and reject any neoprene which
comes below Guls’
superior standards
NEOPRENE THICKNESS:
The thickness of the neoprene utilised in a wetsuit determines the warmth and flexibility. A thick wetsuit provides maximum insulation but can inhibit the flexibility. A thin wetsuit will be very flexible but can affect the thermal insulation properties. The key is to get the right combination of warmth and flexibility so that you stay warm, but also provides maximum flexibility.
