Alder Wetsuit and Surfing
For a full history on the iconic UK surfing and wetsuit brand Alder, take a read of Bob's extensive blog here.
Alder Wetsuits was founded in the early 1970s, a time when the sport of surfing was just beginning to gain traction in the UK. The company's humble beginnings were in a small workshop in Cornwall. Where a team of passionate surfers and wetsuit enthusiasts set out to create products that would not only keep them warm in the chilly British waters. But also provide the performance and durability they craved.
From the outset, Alder Wetsuits was driven by a commitment to quality and innovation. The company's founders understood that the key to unlocking the full potential of British surfing lay in developing wetsuits that could withstand the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic. With this in mind, they began experimenting with new materials, construction techniques, and design features that would set their products apart from the competition.
As Alder Wetsuits grew, so too did their reputation for excellence. The company's wetsuits quickly became the go-to choice for many of the UK's top surfers.
One of the key innovations that set Alder apart was their use of neoprene, a synthetic rubber material that had just recently been introduced to the suit market. By carefully refining the composition and construction of their neoprene. Alder was able to create wetsuits that were not only more durable but also more comfortable and responsive than anything else on the market.
Over the years, Alder continued to push the boundaries of wetsuit design, introducing features like seamless construction. Also strategic panel placement, and advanced insulation systems. These innovations helped to keep Alder at the forefront of the industry. Cementing their reputation as a brand that was truly dedicated to the needs of the modern surfer.
The Importance Of A Good Winter Wetsuit
Wearing a good winter wetsuit is essential for British winter sea temperatures. Cold water can quickly drain body heat, leading to hypothermia. A high-quality wetsuit provides insulation, keeping your core temperature stable.
British winter sea temperatures range from 5°C to 10°C. Without proper protection, exposure can become dangerous within minutes. A winter suit, typically 5mm to 7mm thick, helps retain body heat.
Neoprene wetsuits trap a thin layer of water between the skin and suit. This layer warms up and acts as insulation. High-quality wetsuits also have sealed seams to prevent cold water flushing in.
Flexibility is also important for movement and comfort. Advanced suit technology ensures insulation without restricting mobility. Features like thermal lining and taped seams enhance warmth and durability.
A hood, gloves, and boots are essential additions. Extremities lose heat quickly, making full-body coverage necessary. Wind chill can make conditions feel even colder, so extra protection is vital.
A good suit extends your time in the water. Surfers, divers, and swimmers benefit from improved endurance and comfort. Investing in a quality winter suit ensures safety and enjoyment in cold British waters.
