Best Budget Suit (GUL Contour, £100) |
|
 A great all-rounder. The British-made Gul Contour offers excellent quality at an affordable price. Designed as an all seasons wetsuit, the Contour is probably the best deal on the market for those looking for a multi-sport wetsuit they can use all year round. Superb value. |

| UK wetsuit manufacturers know a thing or two about making cold water suits suitable for our climate. And Gul, which has been making wetsuits since 1967, has one of the biggest and best quality ranges available. "100% performance is all you can expect from Gul," says Surfed Out magazine. |
Great Value |
 The Gul Contour is anatomically designed to fit around the muscle groups of the body, using super-stretch neoprene which is blindstitched and liquid sealed, making the suit an excellent fit and extremely flexible.
"Gul have worked particularly hard on achieving a superb comfortable fit throughout, the neck in particular has had a lot of thought put into it to achieve a good seal with a comfortable and totally non-abrasive feel," says the Little Pink Shop.
The smooth skin chest and back panels and the liquid seams inside the suit reduce wind chill while the rolled wrists and ankles reduce water flush. "Excellent value for a good quality winter steamer," is how Everything Marine assessed the Contour's winter range. |
High Quality |
 Protective flexible tape has been added to stress areas around the suit for added strength. "Gul Contour Wetsuits are manufactured from carefully selected materials to give the best combination of durability and performance," concludes the Westuit Outlet.
It's ideal for the occasional surfer who also wants a wetsuit for other water activities from kite-surfing to windsurfing. Boardriders Guide says the Contour is "probably the best deal wetsuit" on its site - "a true three season suit".
It adds that the 3mm Contour Steamer is designed for spring and summer but will carry you all through autumn. "A true all-seasons steamer," according to the Watersports Warehouse. "Great for a variety of conditions and watersports activities." |
