10 Best Women's Wetsuits UK 2024 | Roxy, O'Neill and More

Roxy have stopped at nothing to make this suit stand out, loud and proud. The colourful, floral design give it a certain pop that rarely features in wetsuits of any kind. Suiting the British summertime best, this 3/2mm premium offering is ready to serve and protect. 

It features a chest zip, GBS seams and a flush lock system through the chest to ensure a secure watertight seal of wonderment. The inner fleece lining only increases its heat retaining and quick drying properties, resulting in a superior wetsuit that also knows how to have a little fun.

BTONGE's 3mm full body wetsuit is specifically designed to keep you safe from those nasty sea creatures! The neoprene and nylon blend, paired with velcro and rubber protection accents, keeps you safe head-to-toe from jellyfish stings. 

The brand have specified that this is a year-round wetsuit, capable of maintaining optimal body temperatures on those frosty winter mornings, just as well as under the sweltering summer sun! 

4/3mm wetsuits are very versatile suits that are suited to the spring and autumn months, as well as seeing you through the British summer. If you're hoping to buy one wetsuit for a variety of water-centric pursuits, then this may be the one for you.

Decathlon's Olaian 4/3 is built for surfing, bodyboarding and water sports in general, with knee pads, a chest zip and GBS seams. This is a feature-filled premium suit, for a very reasonable price, which reflects the Olaian mission statement through and through. 

This suit from PAWHITS is designed for hotter temperatures, but will regulate body heat even under the sun! The eco-sourced nylon and neoprene construction is sun-resistant, with a UPF 50+ rating to keep the rays at bay. 

When the weather cools down a little, though, you don't have to worry about ditching this pick too soon! The 3 mm fabric will fend off the chill, and the hard-wearing protection pads are a must all year round.

The 5/4/2mm Nabaiji swimming suit is a dedicated open water swimming wetsuit made to handle cold water in the winter as well as the autumn and spring. This is achieved through a technical construction combining 2mm arms, 4mm legs and 5mm chest and abdomen panels. 

This wetsuit features premium GBS seams for a watertight seal of approval, in addition to a glide-skin outer layer. Plus, the increased buoyancy will help your stroke along as you leave the shore for an assured confidence at sea. 

Synergy's triathlon wetsuit is conditioned to provide the ultimate streamlined glide through open water with a complete soft skin neoprene outer and hydrodynamic fit. The internal back zip is another note on the streamlined design and the GBS seams point towards the premium side of construction. 

The 3/2mm thickness makes it the perfect suit for summer swimming, early autumn and spring. Because swimming is such a constant, physical sport, you'll stay much warmer in less neoprene than sports like surfing where sitting and waiting to catch a wave may cause you to feel the chill. 

Gul's shock resistance 3mm long Jane wetsuit is constructed a little differently from the rest on this list. With an ultra-light, ultra-thin layer of high density foam built into the suit across the abdomen and sides, the wetsuit is made to absorb 90% of shock on impact.

This provides exceptional contusion protection, making it a wetsuit primarily constructed for the use of boating, sailing and any other above water activity where a bumpy ride is common. It even includes GBS seams for a quality, albeit quite particular, style of suit.

Osprey are one of the UK's most popular wetsuit brands, providing decent mid-range wetsuits for more than decent prices. This wetsuit features 5 mm of neoprene through the body, and 4 mm under the arms to allow for an increase in flex.  

Neoprene at this thickness is designed to handle British winters with waters in the 8° - 12° range. The only slight hindrance is the flatlock seams, which will undoubtedly let water in, and in the middle of winter, this could shorten your sessions somewhat. 

Cressi's 2.5mm shorty wetsuit feels incredibly flexible through the arms, legs and shoulders. This range of movement makes it a perfect summer suit for days at the beach, or for wear while snorkelling and diving when abroad in warmer waters. 

The choice between pink and blue arm panels gives the suit a welcomed stamp of colour, helping you to better blend in with reef fish. A solid offering to take the edge off fresh mornings in tropical places!

Although not as effective as a complete wetsuit, without question, wetsuit jackets serve a purpose at sea. They offer a comforting windbreak when partaking in predominantly above water activities like boating, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and even surfing in the summer. 

Even though it has more of a "budget" construction, this 3mm jacket from Two Bare Feet is a great addition to throw in the suitcase when heading off to warmer waters, or to bring along to British beaches during the peak of summer.
