Chaussures Dériveur, Paddle, Catamaran

For a dinghy outing, it is essential to choose the right equipment. A pair of sailor shoes can be a solution,  but to deal with water splashes, and not get cold when immersed, the most suitable material remains neoprene. It will keep you warm even if you are completely submerged. To avoid getting cold feet during your outing, the ideal is to equip yourself with neoprene bootiesand neoprene socks, but the choice of these two pieces of equipment is not always easy.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR NEOPRENE BOOTS AND SOCKS?

To choose your neoprene socks correctly, the criterion to take into account as a priority is the thickness of the neoprene that composes it. The thicker the neoprene, the warmer it will keep you for a longer period of time. neoprene is not waterproof, it's the ability to heat the water that seeps between your skin and the sock that keeps you warm. Another criterion for choosing your neoprene socks: the preformed sole, which can be favored in the quest for comfort and stability.

When it comes to choosing neoprene booties, this is much more technical. The thickness of the neoprene is also an essential criterion, but other elements are added to this. For example, you will need to choose the tightening system, often Velcro or with cords. The rigidity of the sole and the reinforcements at the level of the kick are also to be taken into account depending on the frequency with which you sail and the intensity of your outings. The more you use your neoprene slippers, the more you will need to move towards reinforced models.
