The main advantage of paddle lycras is that they protect the skin from UV rays, providing an effective defence against sunburn. For paddle yoga, lycra allows great freedom of movement, while providing optimum sun protection, essential for long sessions in the blazing sun. For paddle boarding, lycra is also very comfortable, lightweight and breathable. For paddle surfers, you’ll enjoy the same benefits. We also have a hooded model so you can wait for the peak without burning up in the sun. Are you hesitating between wearing lycra or a wetsuit, depending on the weather and geographical conditions? In Hossegor in summer, the pleasant temperatures mean you can paddle in lycra, whether on the lakes or in the ocean. In Bali, the tropical climate means you can wear lycra virtually all year round, offering sun protection without the need for extra heat. On the other hand, in places like Brittany in autumn, a wetsuit is recommended to protect you from the cold. In Hawaii, lycra is often sufficient thanks to the mild temperatures, except perhaps in winter when a light wetsuit may be necessary for the more chilly.
