5 mm Neoprene Boots Surf Booties

Stay warm for longer thanks to our thermal accessories! Each temperature range has its own outfit...

When we are in the water, we lose more than half of our body heat through our extremities (feet, hands, head).

Consequently, here are the recommended accessories:

- in warm water and temperate water (>62.6°F) => neoprene low booties.

- in cold water (53.6 - 62.6°F): High booties (boots) and gloves.

- in very cold water (44.3 - 53.6°F): High booties (boots), gloves, hood and hooded top...

How to choose the right boots

The first selection criterion when choosing a surf boot 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: Warm water above 68°F. Temperate water between 62.6 and 71.6°F. Temperate water between 53.6 and 62.6°F. Very cold water between 44.6 and 53.6°F. Visit the site seatemperature.org to find out the temperature of your spot.

Choose the right size

A surfing wetsuit should be a very tight fit to ensure the best possible thermal efficiency. It is perfectly normal to have the impression it is too tight when trying it on in a dry position. Choose well-adjusted boots to ensure better support and avoid their being filled with water when surfing.

Neoprene: how does it work?

By trapping a thin layer of water around the body, a neoprene wetsuit works in two ways:

1. The trapped water gradually warms up;

2. Heat transfer from the body decreases.

The wetsuit and the thin covering of water form a layer of insulation.

Materials

0.2 in surfing boots are made of neoprene to ensure better thermal insulation.

The neoprene is lined with synthetic fabric for added resistance to wear.

Neoprene thickness: 0.2 in.

Neoprene is a closed-cell polychloroprene elastomeric foam with trapped nitrogen bubbles that have insulating properties.

We test and guarantee the thermal quality of our neoprene materials.

Watertight assembly

The seams are stitched and glued to ensure a watertight seal and durability.

The seams are "blind-stitched". The thread does not pass all the way through the neoprene, so water can't get through.

The absence of threads on the inside avoids irritation and chafing.

Patches for comfort and reinforcement are strategically placed on the inside in sensitive areas.

Multi-water sports boots

Our wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, sea wading or SUP (stand up paddle boarding).
