Anyone who is regularly doing water sports or diving for long periods in water faces the difficulty of staying warm. Without some form of water compatible insulation most ocean or lake water will quickly take body heat right out of you.
Due to technology advancements wetsuits have been able to to make huge strides in materials. As this technology advanced so did the various options of different coloured wetsuits become available, so much so that people really started making fashion statements with brands such as Quicksilver wetsuits and Billabong wetsuits leading the way.
The original rubber backed material of the surfing wetsuit has advanced to the neoprene material which is essentially the crux of any wetsuit, as this material allows for a layer of water to be trapped inside of the material, and is heated up by the body temperature of the wearer. Other more interesting methods have been put forward and starting to break through, for example gel based heating and solar panel heating.
Rip Curl wetsuits have been pioneers in heated wetsuits. A new product just launched by Rip Curl called the H-Bomb is aimed to take the wetsuit market by storm. The wetsuit has a thickness of 3/2 millimetres and a special heated panel that runs down your spine. Exactly what you need to keep warm in freezing cold water. This kind of technology will allow water activates to spend a lot more time in the water without any risk of danger.
These developments really prove how far the surfing wetsuit has come since the initial proposals that were made to the US navy for diving suits. The benefit of all this new technology is people are going to be able to enjoy themselves in the sea all year round, hot or cold.
