FAQs
Can I machine wash this wetsuit?
No, machine washing can damage the neoprene and seams. Always hand wash with fresh, cold water.
How should I store my wetsuit?
Store it on a wide, plastic hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Is this suit suitable for winter surfing?
The full-length design offers great thermal protection, but suitability depends on local water temperatures; ensure it is the right thickness for your specific conditions.
What if the suit feels too tight?
A wetsuit should feel like a 'second skin' but not restrict breathing. If it causes discomfort or numbness, it may be too small.
Does the salt damage the suit?
Yes, salt can degrade the material and zippers over time. Always rinse with fresh water immediately after use.
Can I use this for triathlon swimming?
Yes, the performance-focused fit makes it suitable for swimming, though dedicated triathlon suits may have different buoyancy profiles.
Troubleshooting
Water flushing or feeling cold
Check the fit at the wrists, ankles, and neck; ensure the suit is laying flat against the skin without gaps.
Difficulty getting the suit on
Ensure the suit is dry before attempting to pull it on, or try using a plastic bag over feet and hands to help them glide through the openings.
Stiffness in the material
Salt buildup often causes stiffness; soak the suit in fresh water for an hour and rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit, it is essential to follow a strict maintenance routine. Always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove salt crystals and chemicals that can degrade the neoprene. Avoid using harsh detergents or washing machines. When drying, avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the material to become brittle over time; instead, hang the suit on a wide, non-metallic hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. When putting on the suit, take care to avoid pulling with fingernails to prevent tears in the outer fabric.
