The shorty for long coast: the ideal solution for sunny days

As water temperatures rise, many practitioners look for lighter gear than a full long coast wetsuit. The shorty for long coast perfectly meets this need by offering an excellent compromise between thermal protection, comfort, and freedom of movement.

Since 1976, we have seen that shortys are particularly popular during the summer months when physical effort increases and the need for insulation decreases.

What is the difference between a shorty and a full wetsuit?

The main difference lies in the length of the sleeves and legs. A full long coast wetsuit protects the entire body, while a shorty typically has short sleeves, short legs, or both.

This design helps limit overheating while maintaining sufficient thermal protection for comfortable practice in temperate waters.

When to use a shorty for long coast?

The shorty for aquatic walking is particularly suitable for spring, summer, and early autumn when water temperatures become more pleasant.

It is also perfect for practitioners who engage in intense training and want to avoid any sensation of overheating during exertion.

Maximum freedom of movement

Long coast heavily engages the arms, shoulders, and legs. Thanks to its shorter cut, the shorty provides a feeling of lightness that is particularly appreciated during long outings.

This extra freedom facilitates the natural movements of walking, propulsion, and coordination sought in the practice of aquatic walking.

Men or women: choosing the right model

The Men's Wetsuits and Women's Wetsuits feature cuts tailored to each body type. This logic also applies to shortys to ensure an optimal fit and better comfort during practice.

A well-fitted cut also improves thermal performance and limits water entry.

Completing your gear according to conditions

When the weather is variable or temperatures change rapidly, Long Coast Tops provide additional thermal protection without sacrificing freedom of movement.

The Long Coast Accessories also effectively complement the gear of regular practitioners.

FAQ

Long-distance shorts

When to wear a shorty for long-coast walking?
A shorty is suitable when the water is warm enough to leave part of the legs exposed. Consider the water temperature, the duration of the session, and your sensitivity to cold. The season alone is not enough: conditions can vary greatly depending on the region.

What is the difference between a shorty and a full wetsuit?
The shorty has short legs, with long, short, or absent sleeves depending on the model. A full suit covers the arms and legs and provides more complete thermal protection. The shorty allows for less body coverage when conditions require less insulation.

What thickness to choose for a long-distance swimming shorty?
A 1/1 mm model prioritizes lightness in mild conditions, while a 2/2 mm provides more insulation in covered areas. Thickness isn't everything: sleeves, seams, and fit also influence thermal comfort. Check the model recommendations before choosing.

Should you choose a long-sleeve shorty or a short john?
A long-sleeve shorty covers the arms while leaving the legs partially exposed. A short john combines short legs with a sleeveless cut. Choose based on the warmth you desire and your shoulder comfort: in both cases, the neoprene should allow for ample movement without pulling.

How to choose the size of your water walking shorty?
Compare your height and your chest, waist, and hip measurements to the model guide. The shorty should fit the body without compressing or hindering movement. When trying it on, lift your knees and arms: check that the garment does not pull at the crotch and does not create significant pockets.

Which closure to choose for a long-distance swimming shorty?
The closure mainly affects the fit and ease of the upper body. Depending on the models, the selection offers a front opening, a Dual Zip system with front and back openings, or a U-Zip closure at the chest. Check the product sheet to compare the construction and protection against infiltration.

Is a shorty enough to practice in cold water?
Exposed legs limit thermal protection, even with a long-sleeve shorty. When the water is cold or sessions extend, a suitable full wetsuit is generally a better choice. Gloves or booties complete the outfit, but they do not replace leg insulation.

How to maintain a long-distance swimming shorty?
Rinse it with fresh cold water after each session, both inside and out. Let it dry in the shade in a ventilated area, on a wide support. Avoid hot water, the dryer, and radiators. If necessary, use a cleaner suitable for neoprene, following its instructions.
