FAQs
Is this wetsuit suitable for winter swimming?
No, this is a 3mm suit designed for Spring through Autumn. It does not provide the insulation required for winter water temperatures.
How do I clean the suit?
Rinse with fresh water after every use. Do not use soap or machine wash, and hang to dry in the shade.
Can I use this for surfing?
Yes, the super-stretch shoulders and sleeves make it highly suitable for the overhead motions required in surfing.
What does the UPF 50+ rating mean?
It means the material blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, offering high-level protection for the covered areas.
Why are there no seams under the arms?
This design choice is specifically made to prevent chafing and irritation caused by repetitive arm movements like paddling or swimming strokes.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the suit
Check the zipper teeth for sand or salt build-up and rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
Water flushing into the neck area
Adjust the glide skin collar system to ensure a snug fit against the skin without over-tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your TWF XT3 3mm Wetsuit remains in peak condition, always rinse it with fresh, cool water after every use, especially after exposure to saltwater. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as these can degrade the neoprene material. When drying, avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can crack the rubber; instead, hang it on a wide plastic hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. When putting the suit on, be careful not to snag the neoprene with fingernails. Before zipping up, ensure no sand or grit is caught in the non-corrosive PK zip to maintain smooth operation.
