The specified temperature ranges were determined according to
EN14225-1 by measuring the thermal resistance of the suit materials.
This is a laboratory test in which accuracy of fit with anatomically
preformed suits, tight cuffs or gas-tight zippers, as in Semidry suits,
are not taken into account.
There is no general rule as to which wetsuit should be worn at what
water temperature. The physical condition of the diver, his physique,
the work performance and working conditions have an influence.
