FAQs
Are these suitable for cold winter swimming?
No, these are shorty wetsuits designed for warmer water temperatures and do not provide the full thermal insulation required for winter swimming.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, focusing on your chest and waist measurements, as a form-fitting design is essential for performance.
Can I machine wash the wetsuit?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit, as it will damage the fabric and the fastening mechanisms.
Does this suit offer sun protection?
While the material provides some protection, the short-arm and leg design leaves most of your limbs exposed, so you should wear sunscreen on those areas.
How should I store the suit?
Store the wetsuit hanging on a wide-shouldered hanger in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels too loose or lets in too much water
Ensure the back or front fastening system is pulled as tight as comfort allows to create a secure seal against the body.
Difficulty getting the suit over the shoulders
Apply a small amount of fresh water to your skin or the inside of the suit to reduce friction, ensuring you are pulling the neoprene from the base upward.
Signs of wear or salt buildup
Soak the suit in a basin of fresh water for 30 minutes to dissolve salt crystals and prevent the zipper and fabric from seizing.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit Shorties, always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use in salt or chlorinated water. Avoid using harsh detergents or hot water, as these can degrade the elasticity of the fabric. Dry the suit in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the material to crack or fade. When putting on the suit, avoid using sharp fingernails to pull at the neoprene to prevent tears. The suit is compatible with standard water sports accessories like neoprene booties or gloves if additional coverage is needed for extremities.
