Neoprene jackets for wind and spray, and 3/2mm limestone springsuits for cooler water. Two different jobs, same material doing the work.

Which one do you need

• Neoprene jacket. For when you are wet and standing in wind, on deck, on shore, or riding with a harness. Best in air around 41 to 68°F.
• Springsuit. For being in the water. Best around 65 to 75°F.

Caring for neoprene

Rinse in cool fresh water after every session, never hot. Hang it inside out on a thick hanger, out of direct sun, and let it dry fully before storing. No machine washing, no dryer, and never leave it in a hot car, because heat is what kills neoprene faster than salt water ever will.
