Wetsuit Centre has an extensive assortment of men's 5mm wetsuits available suitable for use in cold water. We only stock 5mm wetsuits that have been designed and manufactured by industry-leading brands that pride themselves on innovation and quality. Brands such as O'Neill wetsuits and Rip Curl have decades of experience creating the best quality wetsuits.
If freezing water temperatures don't put you off paddling out, then you will need to invest in a high-quality, thick winter wetsuit with a built-in hood. A 5mm hooded wetsuit further protects the body's vulnerable parts that are susceptible to the cold. When you duck dive or wipe out in freezing water without a hood, it will result in anointing brain freeze, and you have to cut your surf session short. The O'Neill Epic 6/5/4 is one of the best-selling 5mm men's wetsuits and is guaranteed to keep you warmer for longer with its chest zip entry system, thermal lining and built-in hood.
To ensure you don't lose any body heat while in the water, even when wearing your 5mm mens wetsuit, it is essential to equip yourself with a pair of wetsuit boots; Wetsuit Centre stocks a multitude of winter boots from leading brands. It is not just your feet you need to protect either; for those of us who feel the cold or for individuals who are entering the water at freezing temperatures, a pair of wetsuit gloves can prevent you from losing mobility in your hands, ensuring you can still surf to the best our your ability.
