Neoprene trousers

Neoprene is the ideal material for all nautical activities. Adapted to all types of morphology, there are several types of fabric, with a thin thickness for temperate use and thicker to face the great cold. Note that a softer fabric allows more freedom of movement but provides less protection against the cold than a thicker fabric. The advantage of neoprene is mainly its affordable price and its performance. Neoprene pants are not waterproof as you might think. It is actually a thermal insulation garment that lets water in. It is this thin layer of water between the skin and the fabric that maintains the temperature and warms the wearer.

Neoprene trousers are between 0.5 and 3 mm thick, which effectively protects the legs and lower body from the cold of the water and air. For the choice of the size, it is important that the pants are well adjusted to limit water ingress especially since it will relax when wet.

WHY CHOOSE NEOPRENE FOR YOUR PANTS ?

Whether kayaking, surfing, light sailing or scuba diving, neoprene pants will keep your legs at a comfortable temperature, even in cold water. The basic insulating material is neoprene, a synthetic rubber that is not 100% waterproof but keeps the body parts warm. Neoprene is also a soft and comfortable material to wear. It is light and water-repellent, does not absorb water and dries very quickly.
