When you’re in the water, more than half your body heat is lost through your extremities (feet, hands, head). To stay warm, consider these accessories:
- Warm to temperate water (> 17°C): Low-cut neoprene booties.
- Cold water (12°C–17°C): High-cut booties and gloves.
- Very cold water (7°C–12°C): High booties (boots), gloves, balaclava and balaclava top.

Stay warm for longer with our thermal accessories!
Each temperature range has its own outfit.

To ensure the best thermal performance, choose a tight-fitting surfing glove. Dry gloves should feel like they are too tight when you try them on. A tight fit will prevent them from swelling in the water.

Choosing a size

These 3 mm surf gloves are made of 100% neoprene for added comfort.
The synthetic lining provides added wear resistance.
Neoprene thickness: 3 mm.
The neoprene is made of an elastomer foam with insulating properties.
We test and guarantee the quality of our neoprene materials. 

Materials

The seams are stitched and glued to ensure a watertight seal. 
Blind-stitching technology means the thread does not pierce through the neoprene, ensuring watertightness. 
The absence of threads on the inside prevents irritation. 
An external seal on the seams ensures enhanced durability.

Watertight assembly

Our wetsuits are classified by water temperature: Warm water, temperate water, cold water.
Our wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. They’re compatible with many other water sports, including swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding.

 Our offices are located by the water, which allows us to design a range of accessories and test them immediately.

What is Olaian?

Snorkeling Wetsuits

Ultra-thin sole for better contact with the board.

Sensitivity

Polyurethane sole with granulated surface.

Grip

Designed for surfing and bodyboarding in water between 12°C and 17°C.

When you’re in the water, more than half your body heat is lost through your extremities (feet, hands, head). To stay warm, consider these accessories:

- in water (>17°C) => neoprene socks.
- Cold water (12°C–17°C): High-cut booties and gloves.
- Cold water (7°C-12°C): High boots, gloves, hood, and hooded top.


The first factor to consider when choosing a surf bootie is water temperature. Water temperature varies depending on the location and time of year. Keep these guidelines in mind: Water above 20°C. Water between 17 and 22°C. Water between 12 and 17°C. Water between 7 and 12°C. Visit seatemperature.org to check sea temperatures around the world.

Choosing the right boots

Surfing socks should be a very tight fit to ensure the best possible thermal efficiency. Dry gloves should feel like they are too tight when you try them on. Choosing well-fitting socks ensures a better fit and prevents them swelling with water in use.

The 3 mm surf socks are made of neoprene.
The synthetic lining provides added wear resistance.
Neoprene thickness: 3 mm.
The neoprene is made of an elastomer foam with insulating properties.
We test and guarantee the quality of our neoprene materials.

We chose a thin and light polyurethane sole to favour contact and sensations with the board. Therefore, this sock is not suited to long approach walks: in such a case, choose the 3 mm Surf bootie.

Thin sole

The seams are stitched and glued to ensure a watertight seal. 
Blind-stitching technology means the thread does not pierce through the neoprene, ensuring watertightness. The lack of threads on the inside prevents irritation and chafing. Patches are strategically placed in sensitive areas to improve comfort and durability.

Our surf booties are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, sea wading or SUP (stand up paddle boarding). These surf socks, however, are not suitable for windsurfing.

Multi-water sports boots

Our wetsuits are classified by water temperature: Our wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. They’re compatible with many other water sports, including swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding.

Buoyancy Index

Pocket

When swimming in open water, you are strongly advised to use a buoy so that boats and the rescue services can find you easily. Are you tired or cramping up? The buoy also serves as a resting base. A whistle is attached to the buoy so you can signal your presence audibly if necessary.

Main functions of an open-water buoy

The mesh pocket is positioned on the submerged side of the buoy, in the water, to keep your supplies cool!

Refuelling

Deflated: 75 x 41 x 2 cm
Inflated: 55 x 29 x 26 cm 

Waistband: adjustable from 64 cm to 115 cm
Lanyard: adjustable from 26 cm to 49 cm

Dimensions

For an open-water buoy, you need to pay attention to the closure: 
- place your belongings at the bottom of the buoy, centring them if possible,
- close the two buckles, making sure that the air between the two chambers escapes to avoid water entering when you swim,
- inflate the 2 chambers to the same psi, by mouth.

How to inflate the open-water swimming buoy

The buoy strap should be adjusted to position the buoy above the knees and behind the thighs when swimming on your stomach.

How do you position your buoy when swimming?

The buckles have been designed so that the buoy can be carried like a backpack before and after your open-water swimming sessions.

The design team selected a new ultralight component to optimize the headband's moisture-wicking capacity.
The component's elasticity strikes a perfect balance between support and comfort, so that you'll forget you've even got it on when you're exercising!

Is it really possible to combine support, comfort, lightness, and moisture wicking?

To make the headband more technically advanced, our team has gone for heat-bonded finish on the upper and lower parts, eliminating visible seams on the forehead.

This new design, suitable for both female and male runners, combines comfort and style with a modern feel.
We listened to feedback from runners for this second version (V2). The product is available with or without graphics, in various colours.

How does it all look, in terms of design and finish? 

For you to enjoy your activity to the max, it's essential for the product you're wearing to fit your body shape (not too big, not too small).
This one-size-fits-all running headband is made with a stretchy material that adjusts to head sizes ranging from 54 to 59 cm (21.3 to 23.2 in).
Don't forget to measure your head circumference!

Measuring 7 cm in height (or width, depending on how you look at it!), it can also be positioned on the ears for added comfort.

What head sizes does this headband fit?

Since it features a heat-bonded finish, our product doesn't like washing machines or high temperatures.
To preserve its technical qualities, we recommend washing the product by hand and letting it air dry.

Repair tips: sustainability.decathlon.com

Is there a hole or tear in your wetsuit? Don’t throw it away!

To get the most out of your wetsuit, it’s important to choose the right size. A surfing wetsuit should fit snugly and have no visible folds. It’s normal for the suit to feel too tight when dry; this discomfort will disappear once you’re in the water. A wetsuit that’s too big will be loose in certain areas, causing chafing and reduced insulation due to water penetration.
Try it on before you buy it!

The synthetic lining improves its resistance to wear. Neoprene thickness: 4/3 mm. Neoprene is a closed-cell elastomer foam (polychloroprene) containing nitrogen bubbles.

The neck is designed to limit irritation. If you have sensitive skin, consider wearing a UV-resistant top under the wetsuit to reduce rubbing and chafing. To prevent chafing during longer outings, we recommend applying petroleum jelly around your neck and underarms. Make sure the flap is always inside the wetsuit to limit the risk of irritation with the zipper and the neck.

Neck

The seams are stitched and glued to guarantee waterproofing and resistance. The seams are "blind-stitched", which means the thread does not pass through the entire thickness of the neoprene and so prevents water from getting through. The lack of threads on the inside prevents irritation and chafing. Patches for comfort and reinforcement are strategically placed on the inside in sensitive areas.

Our zips and fastenings are lab-tested for guaranteed durability and resistance to salt water. The zip is at the back of the wetsuit for greater comfort when lying down to paddle.

Fasteners

In accordance with safety regulations, our wetsuits for kids aged 10 and under have a short zipper cord to prevent strangulation. A longer cord enables older kids to operate the zip themselves. A rip-tab strap keeps it from opening in the water.

Zipper pull 

Our wetsuits are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports.

Choose your rash guard based on the duration of your surf session: 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours. 

How to choose your rash guard (Part 1) 

1 hour: occasional practice. Choose between a loose cut for ease of dressing and comfort when dry, or a fitted cut for comfort when wet. Get a loop system to fasten the rash guard to your shorts.
2 hours: regular practice. A rash guard with a drawstring and seamless underarm panels improves fit and comfort in the water.
3 hours: intensive practice. A model with added warmth lets you stay out longer. 

How to choose your rash guard (Part 2)

This rash guard’s UV-resistant fabric blocks at least 98% of UVB radiation and 95% of UVA (UPF 50+), guaranteeing effective sun protection. Ideal for aquatic sports, they can be worn in or out of the water. The density of the weave filters out UV rays for long-lasting protection, even after washing. The elastane may deteriorate in chlorinated water. 

UV protection 

UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) is an international standard that measures the proportion of UV rays a fabric lets through to your skin. A UPF of 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA rays. 

What does UPF 50+ mean? 

This UV-resistant rash guard minimizes irritation due to contact with your surfboard or bodyboard. Wear it under a wetsuit to limit rubbing, especially around the neck and armpits. Seamless panels under the arms reduce irritation caused by paddling movements. After a 2-hour session, our tests confirm that chafing is significantly reduced. 

Anti-irritation 

This UV-resistant rash guard has a hip drawstring to keep it firmly in place. You can also attach it to the drawstring on your boardshorts to prevent it from riding up while you surf. 

Drawstring 

This rash guard is recommended for use in water temperatures of 22°C and up. Air temperature may affect this recommendation. 
Our thermal models are made of fleece, neoprene, or both. We recommend choosing a model made with neoprene if you’ll be out in conditions where the wind exceeds 15 km/h. 

Warmth and wind 

 Our UV tops meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. They’re compatible with many other water sports, including swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding. 

Suitable for multiple water sports 

This top is UV-resistant, but it doesn’t provide total sun protection. Consider other factors like reflections (off water, sand, etc.), temperature, and time of day. Wearing this top is just one part of staying safe in the sun. You should also wear sunglasses and a hat or cap, apply sunscreen regularly, and drink plenty of water.

How to choose your rash guard (part 2)

Being an advanced surfer means you surf often and intensively. During your sessions, you paddle out to the lineup and feel comfortable duck diving or turtle rolling under waves. You show no fear in waves of more than one metre. Your swimwear and rash guard should stay put, no matter how powerful the waves are. This line was designed for intense surfing sessions, for all body types.

How to choose a wetsuit Part 1

The second thing to consider is the length of your sessions. Our 100 models are suitable for sessions of up to 1 hour. For 1–2 hours, opt for a 500 wetsuit; for 2–3 hours, go for a 900. Wetsuits with a higher model number are warmer, more watertight, and better at reducing irritation and fatigue The same is true for the 900 models, compared with the 500 models.
Note: The 900 models are easier to put on.
