N Devon wetsuit hire

[Jux]

We're camping next week near Ilfracombe and have just found that we shall need to hire (at least) one wetsuit for a couple of days.

Any recommendations of somewhere which won't charge too much? (I found one on the net which would cost 30quid, which I think is madness.)

You can get them new in Tesco or Sainsbury's fit less than that.

Decathlon have them for £10 for children. Guess adults wouldn't be much more?

Thanks. Is that specifically in Ilfracombe, or any Tesco/Sainsbury? (We have a small Tesco here, which sells socks and knickers but no other clothes), and no Sainsbury at all.

I saw them in Brighton but they're available online here.

If you come to Woolacombe there is a little shop on the beach that rents them out quite cheaply and for just 2 hours at a time or for longer or there is a few shops that sell them.
Just a little tip tho is that they do need to be quite snug fitting as the point is to keep a thin layer of water between the skin and wetsuit which keeps you warm!
Sorry just see so many people saying on the beach that the wetsuit that aren't keeping them warm but they are miles to big and the layer of water isn't there!
Hope you have a fab holiday :)

Thank you, Goldensunnyday (I think I'll be needing one too, now. I have put on far too much weight for my old one; it's unlikely I'll find one which isn't snug!). That's really helpful.

And thank you, AndHarry, and Millimat.

I shall relay this all to dh, and also to dd's friend's mum!
