FAQs
What Is Aerodome Panelling On A Wetsuit ?
This new technology, applied to the lower body, gives the swimmer 30% more buoyancy than a conventional wetsuit. The secret is in its construction: hundreds of air pockets located between two layers of pre-treated neoprene. The inner layer of this material is composed of a high-quality lining with low water absorption that increases elasticity. The outer layer is treated with an SCS coating which improves hydrodynamics.
What Is The Difference Between Yamamoto 38, 39 and 40 ?
- Yamamoto 38 - This is Yamamoto's standard neoprene and is often used for marine based watersports. Its known for its buoyancy and decent stretch.
- Yamamoto 39 - Both lightweight and flexible, this material offers the swimmer more of a skin like feel compared to 38.
- Yamamoto 40 - This material was developed by increasing the flexibility offered by 39. If you are looking for complete freedom of movement, then Yamamoto 40 is for you.
Do I Need An Enhanced Buoyancy Or Neutral Buoyancy Wetsuit ?
- Enhanced Buoyancy - Typically, most males need extra buoyancy due to their body fat to muscle ratio. Muscle weighs more than body fat and men often store less fat on their legs than muscle meaning they are likely to sink and therefore need more buoyancy in their wetsuit. This is not always the case, if you can achieve a flat position in the water without a wetsuit then you should opt for a neutral buoyancy wetsuit.
- Neutral Buoyancy - For the same reasons as above, most women require a neutral buoyancy wetsuit. If your current wetsuit gives you back ache or you are experiencing excessive neck chaff, then your wetsuit is likely too buoyant.
