Wetsuits - lined vs unlined?


I want a relative answer, please kthxbye :lol:

A 3/2mm lined suit is as warm as a regular 4/3mm suit? Or more so? Or less so?

How about lined/unlined gloves and boots?



Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

I have never seen one that wasn't lined. How could you get it to slip over your skin if its raw neoprene?

yeah. Lined. Otherwise you will get more of a workout trying to get in and out of the thing.

Bare neoprene chafes. When I wore a wet suit kayaking, A few days of hard paddling would take most of the skin from my armpits. Lined with rash guard for this kid.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

Ok what I apparently meant was poly-fleece lined versus no poly-fleece :D

The Hyperflex 6/5/4 poly-lined is a sweat shop and the temps are below 10°C... the 3/2mm leaves me freezing around 15. So a 4/3 in the middle, poly-lined or not, or a 3/2 poly-lined?

Looking at the specs on wetsuitwearhouse, I'm thinking a 4/3 poly-lined should slot in the middle nicely... BUT :lol:
