Find Your Perfect Wetsuit Fit
Choosing the right wetsuit size can be tricky — it needs to fit like a second skin, snug and secure against your body. A proper fit is essential for warmth, comfort, and performance. However, it shouldn’t feel restrictive or have excess material around your armpits, lower back, or behind the knees.
At H2O Sports, we make finding your ideal wetsuit simple. Our extensive range includes sizes and styles to suit every body type, and our expert team is always happy to help you select the perfect fit.
Keep your measurements handy, explore our Wetsuit Size Guide, and confidently order the right size — no more awkward sandy fitting rooms! Although if you’re local, we’d love for you to visit our H2O Sports Store for a personal fitting experience.

How to measure:
Women's tops

Lower Waist: Measure the waist circumference below your navel, where the waistband (low waist) usually fits.
Bust: Outline the bust (breast area) with a tape measure and breathe normally. Notice the variations as you breathe and record the highest number.
Waist: Place yourself in front of a mirror with your waist clearly visible. Slightly tilting to the side, visuaize the formation of a crease, which indicates the position of the natural waist. Wrap the waist.
Hip: Outline with the tape measure the "wider" region below the waist, running parallel to the highest part of the glutes.
Arm: With your arm slightly bent, measure the distance between the shoulder and the wrist by passing the tape behind the elbow.
