I’m not going to deny – the Ianovated winter wetsuit looks unusual. With its protruding plastic tubing; jokey comments and banter will be standard. And yet, having now tried the suit in a variety of conditions, I can confirm that it most definitely works -the user will therefore be the one having the last laugh.

Featuring an innovative (geddit?) ‘warm breath heating system‘; heading out on/in the water during sub 10C temperatures, for watersports shizzle, has never been so inviting.

The first of a series of Ianovated winter wetsuit reviews is now live over on sitons.com. This write up is kayak specific with windsurfing and stand up paddle boarding reports to follow – watch this space. (We’ve included a video to explain things further – thanks to Callis Makes Films for the edit).
