Product Information
Full details
The Gul Wetsuit Shorties are designed for young swimmers who need reliable thermal protection without sacrificing mobility. Featuring a streamlined short-leg and short-sleeve design, these wetsuits are ideal for active time in the water, offering a comfortable fit that keeps the core warm. Please note that while they offer excellent flexibility, they provide less full-body coverage than a traditional long-sleeve, full-length wetsuit, making them best suited for warmer water conditions.

FAQs
What does the 9-10 size indicate?
This indicates the size category for children aged approximately 9 to 10 years old.
Can this be used in swimming pools?
Yes, it is suitable for pools, but you should always rinse it with fresh water after use to remove chlorine.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the wetsuit is made from flexible neoprene designed to stretch and accommodate active movement.
Does this suit provide sun protection?
While the neoprene provides some coverage from the sun, you should still apply sunscreen to exposed areas of skin.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The suit should feel snug against the body without being restrictive or causing discomfort to the wearer.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the back
Ensure the suit is pulled up fully onto the hips and shoulders before attempting to zip; if the fit is snug, ask for assistance to avoid damaging the zip mechanism.
Water feeling cold immediately after entering
The suit requires a few moments to warm the trapped layer of water against the skin; if it continues to feel cold, ensure the fit is tight against the torso.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit Shorties, follow these care guidelines:
- Rinsing: Always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
- Drying: Air dry the wetsuit away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene material over time. Dry it inside out first, then flip it to dry the outside.
- Storage: Store the suit flat or on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from creasing or stretching.
- Handling Zippers: Ensure the zipper area is clear of sand or debris before zipping to maintain smooth operation.
