FAQs
What temperature range is this suit designed for?
The 3mm thickness is ideal for spring through autumn water temperatures.
Can I use this suit in a swimming pool?
Yes, but be sure to thoroughly rinse the suit in fresh water immediately after use to remove chlorine, which can degrade neoprene.
Is the material machine washable?
No, you should never machine wash your wetsuit. Hand wash only with fresh, cool water.
What is the benefit of titanium stitching?
Titanium flatlocked stitching provides a smoother internal seam to reduce irritation and increases the structural strength of the seams.
How do I store the wetsuit long-term?
Store it on a wide hanger in a cool, dark, and dry place to prevent the neoprene from creasing or drying out.
Does the suit provide sun protection?
Yes, it features UPF 50+ protection, covering the areas of the body it protects from the sun.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pulling up the zip
Ensure the wetsuit is pulled up fully and evenly at the hips before zipping, and check that no lining material is caught in the zipper teeth.
Water flushing down the neck
Adjust the glide skin collar system to ensure a tighter, more secure seal against the skin.
Stiff zipper movement
Rinse the zipper thoroughly in fresh water to remove salt crystals, then allow it to dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your TWF XT3 remains in top condition, proper care is essential. Always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use, especially after exposure to saltwater or chlorine, to prevent mineral buildup on the non-corrosive zip. Avoid drying the suit in direct, harsh sunlight, as UV exposure over time can degrade the neoprene. Instead, hang it on a wide, plastic wetsuit hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. When putting the suit on, be careful not to puncture the neoprene with fingernails. Ensure the velcro zip lock is secured properly before entering the water to prevent the zip from snagging or opening unexpectedly.
