Velcro straps

Velcro leg straps, or ankle straps, offer extra protection against cold water entering your wetsuit through the ankle cuffs. Velcro straps are often removable and offer an additional option to seal the gap between your wetsuit and your booties in winter. They are commonly used by kiteboarders and windsurfers to prevent water from the spray of your board from splashing into your ankle cuffs.
