If you are into paddle sports, choose a wetsuit with back zip and smoothness in areas where your body will be making contact with a board. If you're snorkeling or swimming, you may not need a back zip and have an easier time getting in and out of a front zip model.
There's nothing more uncomfortable than having seams pressing or rubbing against your almost bare skin. Choose flatlock seams that lay flat for extra comfort. The best manufacturers will also use specialized flexible thread and materials to withstand salt and chlorine. Reinforced seams are also a must and will improve the longevity of your suit, especially in areas with a lot of pull such as the crotch. If you've ever gotten into a wetsuit, you know how much pull the ankles and wrists get too!
While swimming, fit and comfort are king. Look for a snug fit that still allows you to move without allowing water in. Water will pool in areas with excess space and make you cold. Manufacturers produce garments with different measurements so you will have to try before you buy!
Neoprene Foam: The Building Block
The heart and soul of wetsuit construction is neoprene foam. Thicker neoprene keeps you warm while thinner neoprene allows for better movement.
Types of Neoprene Wetsuit Materials
1. Nylon-Lined Neoprene: Comfort and Protection
Nylon-lined neoprene is the preferred choice for most wetsuits. Its nylon jersey lining not only makes it easy to put on and take off but also enhances its lifespan by preventing wear and tear. Surfers and divers appreciate the perfect blend of comfort and toughness.
2. Smooth Skin Neoprene: Enhanced Warmth
Smooth skin neoprene is designed to repel water and wind while harnessing the sun's warmth. It's particularly effective for cold-water wetsuits, especially in windy, sunny conditions, though it may be less durable.
3. Air Neoprene: The Premium Warmth Soluction
Air neoprene is the top-tier option for wetsuits. It features a middle layer that traps air for exceptional insulation without sacrificing flexibility. Ideal for staying warm in frigid waters without feeling bulky.
Yulex: A Sustainable Alternative
For environmentally-conscious surfers, Yulex is a game-changer. Patagonia introduced this plant-based neoprene alternative, delivering warmth and flexibility while reducing the carbon footprint. It's a significant step towards eco-friendly wetsuits without compromising performance.
Here are our top best and most fashionable wetsuit recommendations!
O'Neill has been around since 1952 and has perfected the wetsuit. This is a front zip wetsuit for paddling comfort featuring strategic seam placement. It has all the bells and whistles including an external key pocket with a loop, ultra flexible and super reinforced flat-locked seams for durability and comfort, and Krypto knee pads.
We especially love these gorgeous prints!
This triple-layered Neoprene Amazon favorite boasts flat-locked seams for extra durability.
The asymmetrical zip and screen printed pattern are flattering to any body type.
For excellent value, warmth, style, and comfort, you can't beat this wetsuit. Customers rave about the comfort and quality for the price.
For the best of the best, turn to O'Neill, one of the world's premier manufacturers of surf and sports goods. The perfect suit for surfers with a back zip and seamless paddle zones for comfort. Proprietary Smoothskin fabric provides wind resistance and extra insulation.

THE BRAZILIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY
The textile industry in Brazil is one of the largest and most important sectors of the economy. The country’s abundant natural resources, including cotton, soy, and eucalyptus, make it easy for Brazil to produce high-quality fabrics. The country has invested heavily in the textile industry and has created an extensive infrastructure and support system for manufacturers. The Brazilian government provides incentives and tax breaks to encourage local production, which has helped the industry grow and expand rapidly.
Today, Brazil is one of the leading producers of textiles in the world, with over 27,000 companies producing everything from clothing to household items. The country’s textile industry is renowned for its high-quality products and innovative designs. Brazilian designers have gained global acclaim for their creativity and attention to detail, and the country’s swimwear industry is no exception.
WHY BRAZILIAN SWIMWEAR IS THE BEST
Brazilian swimwear has taken the world by storm in recent years, thanks in part to the use of Rosset Lycra. The combination of high-quality material and skilled craftsmanship has led to the creation of some of the most stunning and comfortable swimsuits on the market. Here are a few reasons why Brazilian swimwear is the best:
1. Comfort and Fit
Brazilian swimwear is designed with comfort and fit in mind. The use of Rosset Lycra ensures that the swimsuits are stretchy and conform to your body’s shape. The material hugs your curves and provides support where you need it, giving you a comfortable and flattering fit.
2. Durability and Quality
Brazilian swimwear is known for its durability and quality. The combination of Rosset Lycra and skilled craftsmanship ensures that the swimsuits will last for years without losing their shape or color. The material is also resistant to chlorine and other chemicals found in swimming pools, which means that the swimsuits won’t fade or deteriorate over time.
3. Style and Design
Brazilian swimwear is synonymous with style and design. Brazilian designers are known for their bold, vibrant colors and unique patterns. From classic one-piece swimsuits to flirty bikinis, there is a wide range of styles and designs to choose from. Brazilian swimwear is also great for mixing and matching, allowing you to create your own unique look.
4. Sustainability
Many Brazilian swimwear brands prioritize sustainability and ethical manufacturing practices. These brands use eco-friendly materials, such as recycled plastic, and work with local artisans to create their products. By choosing Brazilian swimwear, you are not only getting a high-quality product but also supporting sustainable fashion practices.
In conclusion, the combination of Rosset Lycra and the Brazilian textile industry has led to the creation of some of the most comfortable, durable, and stylish swimwear on the market. Brazilian swimwear is perfect for anyone looking for a swimsuit that is both functional and fashionable. With so many colors, styles, and designs to choose from, there is a swimsuit for everyone.

For example, take nude beaches. While being naked feels good, you either you love the line in the sand or you don't.
