FAQs

What activities is this wetsuit suitable for?

This wetsuit is suitable for a range of water sports including surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, open-water swimming, and general water-based recreation in temperate to cool conditions.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Mountain Warehouse sizing guide and take accurate body measurements (chest, waist, hips, height). The wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting movement.

Can I wear this wetsuit in very cold water?

With a 5mm thickness, this wetsuit offers good insulation for cool to temperate waters. For very cold conditions, additional thermal layers or a thicker wetsuit may be required.

How should I care for my wetsuit to prolong its life?

Always rinse with fresh, cool water after use, hand wash gently if needed, and drip dry away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid machine washing, drying, and harsh detergents.

What is the purpose of the adjustable neckline?

The adjustable neckline allows you to customize the fit for optimal comfort and to reduce water flushing into the wetsuit, helping to maintain core body temperature.

Is the key pocket secure enough for valuables?

The key pocket is designed for a single small key. While it offers a convenient place to keep a key, it is not intended for larger or more valuable items and should be used with caution.

Can this wetsuit be worn over other clothing?

Wetsuits are typically worn directly against the skin for optimal performance and fit. While some users might wear thin thermal underlayers in very cold conditions, wearing regular clothing underneath is not recommended as it can bunch up and affect the fit and insulation.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry. You can use a small amount of water or specialized wetsuit lubricant on your skin to help it slide on. Make sure all zips are fully open before starting.

Chafing around the neck or seams.

Check if the adjustable neckline is too tight or if the flat seams are positioned uncomfortably. Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly but not restrictively. Consider wearing a rash vest underneath.

Water ingress around the neck or wrists/ankles.

Adjust the neckline for a tighter fit. Ensure wrist and ankle seals are snug against the skin. If the issue persists, the wetsuit may be too large or worn out.

Wetsuit smells musty.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. If the smell persists, hand wash with a specialized wetsuit shampoo or a mild, non-detergent soap and fresh water, then rinse and dry completely.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This wetsuit is designed for direct wear. Ensure you select the correct size by referring to the brand's sizing chart and measuring yourself accurately. The adjustable neckline and back zip with extended pull facilitate easy donning and doffing.

Compatibility: The wetsuit is designed for general water sports. It is compatible with standard swimwear worn underneath if preferred, though many users opt to wear it directly against the skin for maximum comfort and performance.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse After Use: Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after each use. This removes salt, chlorine, sand, and other residues.
  2. Hand Wash Gently: If washing is necessary, hand wash in cool, fresh water with a mild soap or wetsuit shampoo. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  3. Avoid Machine Washing/Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry the wetsuit, as this can damage the neoprene and seams.
  4. Drip Dry: Hang the wetsuit to drip dry on a wide, padded hanger away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid wire hangers, which can cause stretching or damage.
  5. Storage: Store the wetsuit flat or hanging on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it tightly for extended periods.
