Description
Osprey full-length 5mm wetsuits, designed primarily for use in colder waters, particularly during autumn and winter in the UK and Ireland. Key Features and Construction Thickness: Osprey's 5mm wetsuits are typically a "5/4mm" or similar combination. This means the core and chest areas, where you need the most warmth, have 5mm thick neoprene, while the arms and legs are made with thinner 4mm neoprene for increased flexibility and freedom of movement. Some models may have different combinations. Neoprene: They often use a fine mesh or super-stretch neoprene, which provides a balance of warmth, flexibility, and comfort. The material is designed to prevent excessive water entry and keep you insulated. Seams: For colder water suits, Osprey uses glued and blind-stitched seams. This construction minimizes water entry, helping to keep you warmer. Design Elements: Wind-resistant mesh panelling: On the chest and back to protect you from cold wind. Supratex knee pads: Rubberized patches on the knees provide durability and protection, making it easier to kneel on hard or rocky surfaces. Anti-rub openings: Features around the collar and cuffs to prevent chafing and water flushing. Back zipper: Many Osprey wetsuits have a durable YKK back zipper, often with a super-stretch collar, for easy entry and exit. Intended Use and Water Temperature A full-length 5mm wetsuit from Osprey is ideal for water temperatures ranging from approximately 8°C to 12°C. This makes them a great choice for: Winter and autumn surfing: Especially in the UK and Northern Europe. Kayaking, wakeboarding, and kitesurfing: In colder conditions. Other watersports: Where you need significant insulation and warmth. For water temperatures below 8°C, a thicker wetsuit (e.g., a 6mm) with additional accessories like a hood, gloves, and boots is generally recommended. Sizing and Fit A proper fit is crucial for a wetsuit to be effective. It should feel snug, like a second skin, without being overly restrictive. There should be no significant gaps where water can pool. Osprey provides specific size charts based on chest, height, and waist measurements. It's important to consult these charts before purchasing, as a well-fitting wetsuit is key to staying warm and comfortable. Some models also come in "tall" sizes for a better fit for taller individuals.
