Munich, zero degrees, driving snow. Another traffic jam at the end of the A95 motorway due to day skiers.
Munich, water temperature: 4 - 5 degrees. Free ride into the wave. At least with the right clothing. The best conditions to try out the thickest winter neos. We carried out the test last winter, but all the models tested are still in the range for the 2024/2025 season and available in many shops!
The best winter wetsuits for women in the test
We requested and extensively tested six women's suits of the thickest type "6/5 with bonnet".
These women's winter sneakers were included in the test:

The external conditions were similar to those often encountered in winter windsurfing: Water temperature in the low single digits, air temperature down to freezing point.
The wetsuits were evaluated in terms of donning and doffing, comfort, freedom of movement and, of course, thermal insulation in the water and in the air. The manufacturers use differently designed entry openings and, above all, very different inner linings.
The "Dryrobe", the thick thermal coat for before, after and in between, also proved particularly useful in the prevailing test conditions. You can read our assessment here!
