Find the perfect women’s wetsuit or swimsuit for you
At Natural Necessity, we have one of the biggest selections of women’s wetsuits in Australia. That means that we are bound to have the right one for your specific needs. If this is your first time buying one, you might find the wide variety of female wetsuits available on the market overwhelming. So here is a short summary of the different types of women’s wetsuits that we stock to help you make an informed choice:
- Rash vests and surfsuits — Also called rashies, rash vests are made from a lightweight fabric that dries quickly and offers protection against sun exposure and abrasion rashes. Surfsuits are simply rashies in a bodysuit design. These tops are ideal for enjoying the water, exercising on the sand and surfing in warm weather. Bear in mind that they are not designed for warmth as they are very lightweight.
- Wetsuit tops and vests — Made from neoprene, these wetsuit tops for women will keep chilly wind and the damaging sun rays at bay. They come in various thicknesses, from 0.5 to 1.5mm, and in slip-on, half zip or full zip vest styles. Women’s wetsuit tops are perfect for early mornings, late nights and between sets when the wind could make you cold.
- Spring suits — Women’s spring suits come in various combinations of short to no arms or legs and different thicknesses — between 0.5 and 2mm. They are for… you guessed it: spring! And autumn, chilly summer days and other days when the water or wind is neither overly warm nor cold.
- Steamers — If you are serious about your surfing or live somewhere where the water is cold most of the year, you need to invest in a women’s steamer. As the name says, they are designed to keep you warm in most conditions. The two most common thickness combinations are 3/2mm, for a more versatile steamer, or 4/3mm, for the dead of winter and the dawn patrol enthusiasts. These women’s wetsuits are available with different zip closures, such as back zip (BZ), chest zip (CZ) or front zip (FZ) and zip-free (ZF) options.
- Wetsuit accessories — Whether it is to prevent the sun or cold from damaging you, the reef from hurting your feet or the wind from giving you surfer’s ear, our wetsuit accessories have you covered. From surf caps and hoods to gloves, booties and dive socks, you can get neoprene accessories for your whole body.
