FAQs

What does 5/4 mean?

The 5/4 indicates the thickness of the neoprene in millimeters; 5mm is used on the core and back for warmth, while 4mm is used on the limbs for improved flexibility.

Is this suit machine washable?

No, never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit as it will destroy the neoprene and the lamination.

Why use limestone-based neoprene?

It is more environmentally friendly than traditional neoprene and offers superior stretch, warmth, and longevity.

Can I use this in high-sun conditions?

Yes, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent material degradation and fading.

How should I store my wetsuit?

Store it folded loosely or on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Water flushing into the suit during sessions

Check the chest zip closure to ensure it is fully locked and the hood is tucked properly against your face.

Difficulty putting on the wetsuit

Ensure the suit is completely dry on the inside. Applying a small amount of water to your skin can also help the material slide on more easily.

Odour buildup

Soak the suit in a specialized wetsuit shampoo or fresh water with a mild, non-detergent cleaner and ensure it dries completely in a well-ventilated area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation for cold-water performance
  • Highly flexible Japanese limestone-based neoprene
  • Eco-conscious production using solvent-free lamination
  • Quick-drying thermal lining for back-to-back sessions
  • Dope dyed fabric resists color fading from UV exposure

Cons

  • Hooded design can be restrictive for some users
  • Requires proper care to maintain internal lining integrity
  • Chest zip systems may be harder for beginners to master than back zips

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every surf session to remove salt and debris. Avoid hanging the suit in direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene over time. Use a wide plastic hanger to support the shoulders when drying, as thin wire hangers can cause material distortion. When putting the suit on, avoid using your fingernails to pull at the neoprene, as this can cause tears. Store the suit in a cool, shaded area away from heat sources to prevent the material from becoming brittle.
