Neck
The neck finish has been developed to limit the amount of water entering the suit. According to the sensitivity of the wearer, a UV top can be worn under the wetsuit to reduce the risk of irritation. The application of grease (e.g. Vaseline) in friction areas (neck, underarms) is also recommended if wearing the diving suit for long periods. Make sure the flap is always inside the wetsuit to limit the risk of irritation with the zip and the neck.
Fastening
Put the zip at the back of the wetsuit for greater comfort during surf sports (when lying down to paddle).
Assembly
The seams on the men’s QUIKSILVER PROLOGUE shorty are “flatlock” for optimal flexibility. ALPHA AQUA water-based glue
Multi-water sports wetsuits
This wetsuit is compatible with other water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, sea wading or SUP (stand up paddleboarding).
How to choose the right wetsuit
The first selection criterion when choosing a surfing wetsuit is the 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: visit the site seatemperature.org to find out the temperature of your spot.
Choose the right size
To make the most of the features of your wetsuit, it is necessary to choose the correct size. A surfing wetsuit should be a very tight fit and there should be no visible folds. When dry, it is perfectly normal to feel like it is too tight, this discomfort disappears as soon as the wetsuit gets wet. If you choose a diving suit that is too big, folds will appear, you will experience irritation and thermal insulation will be reduced (letting in water).
QUIKSILVER brand
