Key factors include water temperature, the wetsuit’s thickness and material, overall design (such as seam construction and flexibility), and your specific activity needs (like surfing, diving, or swimming). Additionally, features like UV protection and chlorine resistance, which are offered by many eco-friendly brands, can significantly enhance both performance and longevity. For more information, visit our blog.

Wetsuit thickness generally varies by water temperature:
• Warm water (above 24°C/75°F): 2-3mm suits are typically sufficient.
• Temperate water (18-24°C/65-75°F): A 3/2mm suit provides a balance of insulation and flexibility.
• Cold water (below 18°C/65°F): 4/3mm or 5/4mm suits offer enhanced thermal protection.
Always refer to sizing guides and manufacturer recommendations to find the best option for your local conditions. For more information, visit our blog.

A proper wetsuit fit should feel snug without restricting movement. Check that it hugs your shoulders, chest, and waist closely, and refer to our detailed sizing guide for the best fit. A well-fitted suit enhances insulation and overall performance in the water. Please refer to Wallien’s blog.

To extend the life of your wetsuit, rinse it with fresh water after every use, hang it to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Using a specialized wetsuit cleaner will help maintain its performance and durability over time. Please refer to Wallien's blog for more information.

A full wetsuit covers your entire body for extra warmth and insulation—ideal for colder waters—while a spring suit offers protection for the torso and limbs, providing more flexibility for warmer conditions. Choosing between them depends on your typical water temperature and activity level.

Wallien is your one-stop shop for high-performance, eco-friendly wetsuits designed for every water sport—be it swimming, surfing, kayaking, or triathlon training. Our collection is crafted with sustainable materials and innovative features to ensure a perfect fit and exceptional performance.

No, wetsuits are not entirely waterproof. They allow a thin layer of water between the suit and skin, which your body warms to provide insulation. This design keeps you warm during water activities like surfing, diving, and swimming. The neoprene material used in full wetsuits provides a degree of UV protection, shielding the skin from harmful sun exposure during extended periods in the water.

Front-zip wetsuits allow for easier entry and exit and offer customizable fit adjustments, making them ideal for certain water sports or colder conditions. However, back-zip suits generally provide better hydrodynamic efficiency by reducing drag. The decision ultimately depends on your specific needs and comfort. Refer to our blog for more information.

Wetsuits provide critical thermal insulation, reduce the risk of abrasions, and offer buoyancy, which enhances your comfort and performance while surfing. They protect you from cold water, sun exposure, and potential injuries from your board and other equipment.

Yes, many wetsuits are versatile enough for dynamic water sports like surfing, kite surfing, paddleboarding and kayaking. Choose a wetsuit that offers flexibility, durability, and resistance to chlorine and UV rays, such as a streamlined model for triathlons or a more robust design for surfing. For open water or cold water swimming, prioritize a suit with higher thickness for insulation and a snug fit to maximize buoyancy and performance. Wallien’s range of wetsuits is designed to meet these diverse needs with innovative, eco-friendly materials and superior craftsmanship.
