FAQs

What temperature range is this suit rated for?

This suit is specifically engineered for cold water temperatures ranging from 49 to 56 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can I use this suit in warmer water?

While it can be used in slightly warmer water, the 4mm thickness and thermal lining may cause you to overheat if the water temperature exceeds 60 degrees.

How do I care for the limestone neoprene?

Always rinse with fresh water and hang dry in the shade. Never use heat, bleach, or harsh chemicals.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is integrated into the suit design for maximum thermal protection.

Where is the key cord located?

The key cord is usually located near the inner chest panel for secure and easy access.

What is the benefit of the Supratex knee pads?

They provide a high level of abrasion resistance and durability without compromising the overall flexibility of the suit.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty putting on the suit

Ensure you are using the chest zip opening fully and consider using a plastic bag over your feet to help them slide through the leg openings more easily.

Water flushing into the suit

Verify that the Glideskin hood seal and the internal chest zipper flap are lying flat against your skin without folds or trapped fabric.

Stiff zipper movement

Rinse the zipper mechanism thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt crystals; do not use heavy lubricants as these can degrade the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal retention for cold water usage
  • Superior flexibility due to limestone neoprene
  • Quick-drying thermal interior
  • High-durability seam reinforcement

Cons

  • Tailored fit may feel restrictive for some body types
  • Hooded design requires specific donning technique
  • Requires careful rinsing to maintain neoprene elasticity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use, ensuring you remove all salt and sand. Never use a washing machine or dryer, as these will destroy the neoprene structure and the integrity of the glued seams.

  1. Hang the suit in a cool, shaded area to drip dry, avoiding direct sunlight which can cause the neoprene to become brittle.
  2. When entering the suit, use the chest zip entry carefully to avoid overstretching the zipper teeth.
  3. If storing for long periods, use a wide, wetsuit-specific hanger to maintain shoulder shape and prevent creasing.
