Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try using a plastic bag over your feet and hands to ease entry. Also, make sure the internal neoprene taping is not sticking to itself.

Water is entering the suit.

Check the seal around the neck, wrists, and ankles. Make sure the chest zip is properly closed and sealed. Inspect for any tears or damage to the seams or neoprene.

Wetsuit feels too tight.

The wetsuit should fit snugly, but not restrict movement. Consider sizing up if the suit feels overly tight, especially in the shoulders or chest. If you are between sizes, go up a size.
