Men’s Wetsuits at The SUP Company
Cold water shouldn’t be the reason you cut a session short. This collection brings together our best men’s wetsuits for UK waters — built for surfing, SUP, wingfoiling, kitesurfing and general coastal adventures, from summer evenings to full-on winter missions.
Whether you’re buying your first suit or upgrading to something warmer, stretchier and easier to live with, you’ll find trusted options here from ION, Mystic, O’Neill, Prolimit and Vaikobi — with the sizes and thicknesses that actually make sense for the UK.
Quick UK guide: 5/4–6/5 (often hooded) for winter, 4/3 for spring/autumn, 3/2 for warmer months, and a shorty for peak summer or holidays. If you tell us your sport + where you ride, we’ll point you at the right thickness first time.
Shop men’s wetsuits by season
Men’s Winter Wetsuits – thicker neoprene, warmer linings and (often) hood options for cold-water consistency.
Men’s Summer Wetsuits – lighter suits for warmer days when you still want protection from windchill.
Men’s Shorty Wetsuits – maximum freedom for warm water, SUP coaching, beach days and travel.
Fit first, features second (how to get the comfort right)
A great wetsuit should feel snug, not restrictive. Too loose and you’ll flush cold water through the suit; too tight and you’ll fatigue faster (especially paddling or winging). If you’re between sizes, tall sizes, broad shoulders or longer legs can change the answer — so it’s always worth asking before you hit checkout.
Look out for the details that genuinely improve UK comfort: better wrist/ankle seals, warmer chest/back panels, and seam construction that matches how hard you’re going to use it.
Front zip vs back zip (what most riders prefer)
Front zip (chest zip) is the go-to for warmth and reduced flushing — ideal for wing/kite and winter paddling. Back zip is usually the quickest on/off and a brilliant option for casual users, warmer months, or anyone who prioritises simplicity.

Men’s Wetsuits FAQs
What thickness wetsuit do I need in the UK?
Most riders get the most use from a 4/3 (spring/autumn) and a 5/4+ for winter. If you’re winging/kiting (more windchill) you’ll often want the warmer option sooner. Tell us your sport + when you ride and we’ll recommend a sensible choice.
Front zip or back zip — which is better?
Front zip typically feels warmer with less flushing and is a favourite for colder sessions. Back zip is usually the easiest on/off and great for casual users or warmer months. There’s no wrong choice — it’s about what you value most.
How should a men’s wetsuit fit?
Snug everywhere with no big gaps (especially lower back, armpits and neck), but you should still be able to move freely. If you’re getting lots of flushing, it’s usually a fit issue rather than a thickness issue.
Do I need boots, gloves and a hood?
If you ride through autumn/winter, yes — those three items often make a bigger difference than jumping up a full wetsuit thickness. Start with boots, then add gloves and a hood as the water temps drop.
I’m between sizes — what should I do?
Message us before ordering. Height/weight is a start, but shoulder width, chest, and leg length can change the best fit (especially with tall sizes). We’ll help you pick the size that stays warm and still feels good for your sport.
