Their extensive line of full body and shorty wetsuits are among the top selling models on the market for many reasons.<\/p>\n<p>You just learned <a href=\"https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/how-sailboats-work\/\">how sailboats work<\/a>, but now you need the right gear. The perfect wetsuit will be one that can keep you warm and comfortable in cold water and weather conditions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Wetsuits can be necessary for sailing if you&#8217;re heading out in wet weather\u00a0 or high windconditions or expect the water to be choppy. Additionally, bringing along a wetsuit will also allow you to take a dip in the ocean or enjoy your favorite watersport in total comfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re shopping for your first wetsuit, you won\u2019t find a better option than this suit by Musto.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Finding a suit that fits well is essential otherwise it won&#8217;t work as it&#8217;s designed to and may end up letting in too much water. In this case, the suit will not be able to keep you warm, making it basically useless. Fortunately, Musto offers a wide range of sizes to choose from, so you should have no problem getting the perfect fit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[ichcpt id=&#8221;116&#8243;]\n<p>This suit is incredibly flexible, comfortable, and effective in cold water conditions. It\u2019s made out of super stretchy one and a half millimeter neoprene at the armholes and neck, which will make it much easier to take the suit off or put it on. The anti-abrasion nylon faced neoprene on the back and seat of the thighs provide much-needed durability in both high-stress areas.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The suit doesn\u2019t have side seams, which adds to the suit\u2019s overall comfort and freedom of movement.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the back and chest, grid fleece lining has been added for improved warmth and comfort.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The seams are flat locked and barely detectable against the skin for improved comfort and reduced irritation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The new and improved ergonomic design means a better fit and a sleeker, more streamlined suit.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_it_Works\"><\/span>How it Works<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you live in a cold part of the country, then you probably don\u2019t spend much time at sea except during the summer. But if you\u2019re lucky enough to own the Thermocool, you can sail or even swim whenever you want. This miracle wetsuit isn\u2019t designed to keep you dry. You\u2019ll still get totally wet, but the suit will still keep you nice and warm when the water would otherwise be cold enough to cause hypothermia or even kill you.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This wetsuit isn\u2019t much different from your ordinary warm clothes and it acts in a very similar way. When you head outdoors during a cold day, you always make sure you put on several layers of warm clothing. You\u2019re probably already aware of the fact that several layers of thin clothing can keep you much warmer than one thick layer. This is because multiple thin layers of clothing trap warm air in between each layer. It\u2019s this air that will keep you nice and warm.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Heat flows from hotter objects to cold objects close by. This is simply basic physics and it\u2019s known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/50941-second-law-thermodynamics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">second law of thermodynamics<\/a>. As an example, if you\u2019re standing outside during the winter, if your body was around ninety-eight degrees and the air was approximately forty-six degrees, the heat will flow from your body, into the air, causing your body to start cooling rapidly.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When you put on several layers of clothing, you\u2019re essentially trapping the air warmed by your body heat, preventing it from escaping into the air or water. This is exactly what this wetsuit can do for you.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preventing heat from escaping in this manner is called insulation. The roofs and walls of homes are insulated for the same reason. This type of insulation provides a barrier in order to prevent heat from escaping.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Thermocool_Can_Protect_You\"><\/span>How Thermocool Can Protect You<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re sailing and decide to go for a dip in the freezing cold ocean in the dead of winter wearing just shorts and you spend more than a few minutes in the water, you\u2019ll put yourself at risk of hypothermia. With hypothermia, the inner core of the body becomes so cold it cannot warm up again.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But when you wear the Thermocool, everything changes. This suit is made from multiple layers and features a thick layer of neoprene, which is a type of synthetic rubber.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The multiple layers of the suit work to trap and reflect heat, just like any other type of insulating clothing. When you\u2019re fully submerged in a wetsuit, a small amount of water will enter. Your body heat will quickly heat up this water, so it feels like you\u2019re submerged in a warm bath. Now, between you and the sea, you have an insulating layer of tough rubber material.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In order for this suit to work properly, the water that seeps into the suit must remain warm and inside the suit. With lower-priced suits or suits that are not sealed, the warm water will continue to flush in and out and will be constantly replaced by cold seawater, which makes it seem as though you aren\u2019t wearing a suit at all. Because of this, preventing water from flushing in and out of the suit is crucial. This is why the seams of the suit are held together with the use of a special waterproof tape. Instead of stitch holes that go all the way through the neoprene, the suit is blind stitched. This means the stitches only go partially through the neoprene from the interior. This is why there are no visible stitch holes found on the outside of the suit, which would allow cold water in. This is also why this suit has tight fitting legs and cuffs.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance\"><\/span>Performance<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-421\" src=\"https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Fotolia_3181663_Subscription_Monthly_M.jpg\" alt=\"Foiling Thermocool Impact Wetsuit\" width=\"1688\" height=\"1126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Fotolia_3181663_Subscription_Monthly_M.jpg 1688w, https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Fotolia_3181663_Subscription_Monthly_M-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Fotolia_3181663_Subscription_Monthly_M-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Fotolia_3181663_Subscription_Monthly_M-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Fotolia_3181663_Subscription_Monthly_M-576x384.jpg 576w, https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Fotolia_3181663_Subscription_Monthly_M-1152x768.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Fotolia_3181663_Subscription_Monthly_M-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/SailOutfitter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Fotolia_3181663_Subscription_Monthly_M-165x109.jpg 165w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1688px) 100vw, 1688px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This suit is designed for dinghy racing, swimming, snorkeling, and jet skiing.
