An Introduction to Designer Wetsuits

The wetsuit is one device which has changed its functionality and design over the few decades since it was first designed. These days, however, the wetsuit has gone the way of other types of sporting clothing, and has undergone a culture and fashion of its own. Just as skiers and snowboarders are now subject to 'fashion on the slopes,' divers are able to purchase designer made wetsuits which are customized to each person's exact specifications.

Personal choice plays a huge part in deciding whether one would wish to look different when diving, and whether they would ever want to purchase a designer made wetsuit. What was once a simple matter of picking a wetsuit that fit your unique body type is can now be a daunting choice of different colors, shapes, designs, fits, sizes, as well as additional wetsuit features!

One particular Dutch wetsuit designer is particularly popular, and has gained notoriety within diving circles for his unusual and, admittedly, confronting wetsuits. One of his most popular of wetsuit designs has sparked controversy and criticism, as it is specifically crafted to make the diver look as if he or she has been attacked by a shark! This wetsuit certainly is gruesome and arguably in bad taste, but I guess at the end of the day it's all in the name of a bit of fun.

Designer wetsuits are generally not run of the mill (as you can see!), and are very unique and tailored to specific requirements. Professional divers are often found to have their own solitary wetsuits which set them apart from others, which caters to the individualists who wish to be look special whilst diving.

Whilst the traditional wetsuit was only ever really commercially available in black, new technologies have allowed modern wetsuits to be made in a wide variety of colors, due to advancements in neoprene, the material used in wetsuit production. However, the functionality of modern and customized wetsuits is not lowered in any way, shape or form, as the massively high standards required in wetsuit production are also kept with integrity. It is always of utmost importance that a wetsuit maintains is primary purpose of preserving body temperature, to ensure that divers are able to swim in cold water climates without risk of injury.

Hidden stitching and embedded glue seams are some additions that are commonly found in designer wetsuits, as they provide a wetsuit that looks incredibly streamlined and sophisticated - it is a minimalist approach that is gaining incredible popularity amongst divers.

If you are an avid diver who wants to look different when under the water, why not see if you can get a wetsuit custom designed for you?
