How much weight should a 5mm and 7mm wetsuit be used?
When hunting for spearfish, one must ensure an appropriate wetsuit and weight to ensure they are safe and functioning. Knowing how much weight you need to put on the wetsuit guarantees that your buoyance is proper and can affect your diving efficiency and comfort. This guide will concentrate on the weights for the 5mm spearfishing wetsuit and the 7mm spearfishing wetsuit. Understanding Wetsuit Thickness Wetsuits are manufactured from neoprene, which insulates by forming a thin water layer between the garment and the skin. This warms your body enough to warm you in cold water. The neoprene density defines how much insulation or flotation will be available. 5mm Wetsuit: Bulk for moderate water temperature: 50-65F/10-18C. I find it rather appropriate in terms of providing insulation for the room and, at the same time, allowing the room to breathe. 7mm Wetsuit: Live in waters between 45F-55F/7C-13C northern hemisphere temperatures. It affords more thermal barriers but is heavier and les
