The sweaters at Kitemana generally fit true to size, but the fit can vary slightly per brand and model. Some brands offer a sportier cut, slightly narrower around the shoulders and chest for an active look. Others go for a looser, casual fit, perfect for wearing over your T-shirt or lycra after your session, you’ll see more of these oversized styles at Kitemana. If you want your sweater to fit a bit looser, choose one size up unless the fit is already oversized. For everyday use, your regular size will usually be perfect. Each product description includes information about the fit and materials used, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Still unsure between two sizes? Feel free to contact our team, we’re happy to help you find the perfect fit so you can end your session comfortably and in style.

To keep your Kitemana sweaters looking great for as long as possible, proper care is important, especially if you wear them often at the beach. Salt, sand, and sun can damage the fabric and print over time, so rinse your sweater with fresh water after each session to remove salt residues. Wash it at a low temperature (30°C) and preferably use a mild detergent without fabric softener. Fabric softener can damage the fibers and cause the sweater to lose its shape or breathability.

After washing, let your sweater air dry, preferably out of direct sunlight, to prevent fading and prolong the life of the print. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can shrink the fabric or damage the print. With a bit of care, your sweater will stay fresh, comfortable, and ready for many sessions to come.

Yes, the sweaters at Kitemana are often perfect to wear after kitesurfing. They’re designed with the idea that you want to stay warm and comfortable after your session, even when the wind is still cold or your body has cooled down from the water. Most sweaters are made from soft cotton blends or fleece that retain warmth well without feeling heavy. You can easily throw them over your T-shirt and quickly warm up again. Be sure to check the thickness in the product description, we also have lighter sweaters in our collection. Of course, it also depends on the outside temperature whether a sweater alone will keep you warm enough.

For colder days, some brands such as Mystic and Dirty Habits offer sweaters with lined hoods, high collars, or water-repellent coatings to keep you protected from wind and light spray. They’re breathable, soft, and remain comfortable even after many wears. In short: Kitemana sweaters are exactly what you need to stay warm after an intense session. Not sure about the warmth?
