Men's Spring Suits are typically a short-arm, short-leg wet suit that provides core-body warmth without restricting elbow and knee movement. Spring suit wetsuits are best suited to moderate temperatures and transitional seasons. Wetsuit Warehouse's selection of Men's spring suits caters for surfing, diving, paddling and swimming for all regions and seasons of Australia. Spring suit wetsuits (also known as Shortie's) aren't just for when it's too hot for your Steamer, they're ideal on long trips in the tropics as they don't rash like lycra and boardies. The extra bit of padding on your ribs is a blessing too, especially on back to back days. If you're looking to wear a springy in warm waters we suggest looking for a flatlock seamed wetty because they allow cold water to circulate in to avoid overheating - you can get the rundown on seams here.
Typically a spring suit will have both short arms and legs and provide the wearer with the same thermal retention properties around the core/vitals. This makes springies less restrictive on your movement because your elbows and knees aren't wrapped in rubber.
To get the most out of your wetsuit we recommend washing it with the Aussie formulated Wetsuit Wash between uses to remove sweat, salt, bacteria and chlorine and to follow steps outlaid in our Wetsuit Maintenance Blog.
