Cold water in terms of wetsuits is that which is 21\u00b0C (70\u00b0F) and below. This is water that would make you freeze out and it can either be in the cold polar regions or your local lake during the winter. Without the right wetsuit gear, you may find it very uncomfortable swimming or diving in such waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best wetsuit for icy waters is one that is built with enough levels of thicknesses especially, on the torso and midsection, to keep you warm and comfortable. For waters with temperatures below 5\u00b0C or 42\u00b0F, 6\/5\/4mm full suit wetsuits are the most ideal. 4\/3mm-5\/4\/3mm for medium temperatures and 3\/2mm for high temperatures. In addition to thickness, a good wetsuit should be made out of strong, durable and flexible materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is a review of the top wet suits for cold waters plus a guide on what features you should look for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
