Whether you're an avid water enthusiast or just starting out, a springsuit, often called a "shorty", is an essential piece of gear for the warmer waters.
A men's springsuit wetsuit provides the ideal balance of warmth and flexibility. The classic Springsui, with short sleeves and legs, keeps you comfortable in various water temperatures while allowing you to move freely, whether you're surfing, swimming, or engaging in other water activities. Long Sleeve versions add additional warmth and added protection from the sun, safeguarding your skin from harmful UV rays during extended hours in the water.
They typically come in 1.5mm or 2mm neoprene thickness and while the majority are flatlock stitched some higher end models are fully sealed, providing for greater warmth. Entry systems options vary from the traditional back-zip, to chest-zip and zip free designs.
At Long Reef Surf we have a massive range of Springsuits to suit all budgets and styles. Springsuits are a versatile and practical piece of gear that enhances your water activities and keeps you feeling confident and protected.
A mens springsuit wetsuit is best suited for warm to mild water, typically around 18°C to 24°C (64°F to 75°F). It provides light insulation without overheating, making it ideal for summer sessions and transitional conditions.
A mens springsuit can be worn year-round in warmer climates, but it may not provide enough warmth in winter or colder regions. Many surfers use springsuits in summer and switch to thicker wetsuits when temperatures drop.
Most mens springsuit wetsuits are easier to put on and remove compared to full suits, especially back-zip designs. Their shorter length and lighter materials make them more convenient for quick sessions or travel.
A mens springsuit is ideal for surfing, swimming, snorkelling, and general water use in warm conditions. Its lightweight design makes it suitable for high-movement activities where flexibility is important.
