This material is very tough but soaks up water and is more difficult to repair.\nGlideskin neoprene has a polymer outer layer. This has the benefit of being more hydrodynamic and also waterproof. It is more fragile but is easily repaired with neoprene glue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between a surfing wetsuit and an open-water swimming wetsuit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurfing wetsuits are made from standard neoprene, with a woven fabric outer layer. This material is very tough but soaks up water. It is suitable for surfing.\nOpen-water swimming wetsuits are made partly or entirely from glideskin neoprene. This waterproof material is more hydrodynamic. It is also more fragile. Open-water swimming wetsuits are therefore strictly designed for the practice of swimming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy is it so difficult to get into a wetsuit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eGetting into a neoprene wetsuit may seem like mission impossible, especially for those who have never used one. Neoprene wetsuits need to be a tight fit, as this is what prevents water from getting in. If the wetsuit is too big, swimmers will be more exposed to the cold, as well as to skin irritation as the wetsuit will move over the course of their session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eI feel the muscular effort differently when wearing a neoprene wetsuit. Is this normal?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you’re enjoying your first open-water sessions with a wetsuit, it’s completely normal to feel it more or differently in your muscles. This is because the sleeves offer added flotation for your arms, and so you have to use “extra” strength to plunge your arm into the water. This sensation will ease off and disappear after a few sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do I put on my open water swimming wetsuit without damaging it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Glide-Skin component used in this wetsuit is very flexible and stretchy, but also more fragile.\nWhen you put on your open water wetsuit, don’t use your fingernails and avoid extreme stretching... Otherwise, your wetsuit may not appreciate it.\nPull it up over each leg gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis open-water swimming suit is made entirely from glideskin neoprene for optimal glide in the water! 2.5 mm thick over the chest and legs and 2 mm over the arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half medium--one-half productFeature productFeature--easy-to-breathe\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid--full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item one-fifth productFeature-icon\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"productFeature-image\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/contents.mediadecathlon.com\/b64997\/pic.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item four-fifths productFeature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"productFeature-title\"\u003e[Freedom of movement]\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productFeature-description\"\u003eTurn your shoulders freely thanks to the 2 mm neoprene on the arms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half medium--one-half productFeature productFeature--easy-to-breathe\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid--full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item one-fifth productFeature-icon\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"productFeature-image\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/contents.mediadecathlon.com\/b64996\/pic.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item four-fifths productFeature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"productFeature-title\"\u003e[Easy dressing]\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productFeature-description\"\u003eThe back zip and super-stretchy component make it easy to put on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis full-body open water swimming suit allows you to swim in temperate water while optimizing your glide and buoyancy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DECATHLON","offers":[{"title":"8613254 \/ UK 39\" \/ FR 48 \/ [fluo neon green]","offer_id":52343229808856,"sku":"4200949","price":399.99,"currency_code":"AZN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1728\/2008\/files\/pic_c640ca5a-8262-483c-a516-39c4c3680eaf.jpg?v=1788275425","url":"https:\/\/decathlon.az\/products\/men-s-open-water-swimming-neoprene-wetsuit-ows-500-2-2-black-green","provider":"Decathlon Azerbaijan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
