Product Information
Full details
The Alder Impact Short Wetsuit is a high-performance, short-length wetsuit engineered for surfers, swimmers, and paddleboarders who prioritize mobility and comfort in warmer waters. It features a blend of ultra-flexible neoprene and Glideflex panels that facilitate unrestricted movement, making it an excellent choice for summer surf sessions or tropical holidays, though it is specifically designed for milder temperatures and may not provide sufficient thermal insulation for cold-water winter use.

FAQs
Is this wetsuit suitable for winter surfing?
No, the Alder Impact is designed for warmer water conditions and does not provide the thermal insulation required for winter temperatures.
Can I machine wash my Alder Impact?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the neoprene and the stitching. Always rinse by hand with fresh water.
What is the best way to dry the wetsuit?
Hang it on a wide, sturdy hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources.
How should the wetsuit fit?
It should be snug without being restrictive. It should feel like a second skin, allowing for free movement in the shoulders and arms.
Is this suit good for open water swimming?
Yes, its high-stretch material and focus on shoulder flexibility make it a very capable choice for warm-water open water swimming.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the wetsuit
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and try pulling the suit taut at the base of the zipper before pulling the slide.
Skin irritation or rubbing
Apply a small amount of wetsuit-safe anti-chafe balm to high-friction areas like the neck and underarms before putting on the suit.
Water flushing into the suit
Check that the smooth skin neck seal is sitting flush against your skin and that the zipper is fully closed and secured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To put on your Alder Impact, ensure your skin is slightly damp or dry to allow the suit to glide on easily. Align the shoulder seams properly before zipping up. Compatibility is best in temperatures above 18°C. To maintain the integrity of the neoprene, always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt and debris. Hang the suit to dry on a wide plastic hanger away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the material over time. Never machine wash or tumble dry the wetsuit.
