How Should a Mamala Wetsuit Fit?

Mamala wetsuits are designed to fit like a second skin, snug, secure, and comfortable without restricting your movement.

Created specifically for women, every Mamala wetsuit is tailored to our curves and built using the same fit pattern across every thickness. Whether you're choosing our Long Jane, 2/2mm, 3/2mm, 4/3mm, or 5/4/3mm, you should order the same size.

When you first try on your suit, don't be surprised if your new Mamala feels extra snug right out of the box, that's by design.

Made with premium Yamamoto 40 limestone neoprene, Mamala wetsuits naturally soften and conform to your body after your first few surf sessions, creating a personalized fit that hugs your curves like a second skin.

A snug fit minimizes water flushing and maximizes warmth, comfort, flexibility, and performance.

Will My Wetsuit Stretch?

Yes. Our ultra-flexible Yamamoto 40 neoprene will relax slightly and mold to your body after a few surfs.

If your wetsuit feels comfortably snug when dry, you're likely in the right size.

How Do I Know If My Wetsuit Is Too Big?

Your wetsuit is too big if you notice:

• Loose fabric or folds anywhere on the body

• Gaps around the lower back, waist, neck, or underarms

• Excess material behind the knees or elbows

• Restrict normal breathing

• Cause pain or pinching

• Create numbness in your hands or feet

• Limit your ability to paddle or move your shoulders

If you're uncomfortable before entering the water, consider trying another size.

I'm Between Sizes. Which Size Should I Choose?

If your measurements fall between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the smaller size for maximum warmth and performance.

If you prefer an easier entry and fall between sizes in multiple measurements, sizing up may provide a more comfortable fit.

Do I Need to Size Up for a Thicker Wetsuit?

No. All Mamala wetsuits fit the same, regardless of thickness.

There is no need to size up when choosing a warmer suit. Our fit pattern remains consistent across the entire collection, so you can confidently order the same size whether you're wearing a 2/2mm for summer or a 5/4/3mm for winter.

Firm yet comfortable when you first try it on, your Mamala wetsuit will naturally stretch and adapt to your body after a few sessions in the water.

Once you slip into a Mamala wetsuit, you'll feel the difference: unmatched warmth, softness, flexibility, and a fit designed specifically for women. Get ready for your coziest, most comfortable surf sessions yet.

Do Mamala Wetsuits Fit Different Body Types?

Yes. Mamala wetsuits were designed by women surfers, specifically for women surfers.

Our fit patterns are built to accommodate a range of body types, including athletic builds, broader shoulders, stronger backs, and curvier hips and legs, without compromising warmth, flexibility, or performance.

Many women who have struggled with traditional wetsuits appreciate the increased mobility through the shoulders and the balanced fit through the hips and legs.

Like all performance wetsuits, Mamala wetsuits are designed to fit like a second skin. A proper fit should feel snug and secure when dry, then naturally soften and conform to your body after a few surf sessions.

Made with premium Yamamoto 40 limestone neoprene, our wetsuits offer exceptional stretch and flexibility, creating a personalized fit that moves with you in the water.
