Yamamoto neoprene is highly regarded for its superior thermal insulation, flexibility, and lighter weight compared to standard neoprene, providing better warmth and freedom of movement.
Regular rinsing with fresh water after use, proper drying, and checking seals for a snug fit are crucial. The Lava Flow internal taping also contributes to watertightness.
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the delicate neoprene and seams. Always hand wash with a mild wetsuit cleaner.
The Wind Mesh kidney panel is designed to reduce wind chill around the core area, providing extra comfort when exposed to wind after exiting the water.
Store your wetsuit hanging on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding it for long periods to prevent creases.
Blindstitched seams are sewn so that the needle only penetrates partway through the neoprene, creating a strong, durable, and highly water-resistant seam.
While this wetsuit offers excellent warmth, suitability for water below 5°C depends on individual cold tolerance and the duration of exposure. For extremely cold conditions, additional thermal layers or a thicker wetsuit might be necessary.
Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry. Use a plastic bag on feet and hands to help slide into the material. Avoid forcing zippers or seams.
Check that all seals (collar, cuffs, ankles) are snug and correctly positioned. Ensure the chest zip is fully closed and the flush barrier is engaged. Inspect for any damage to seams or neoprene.
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water after every use. If odor persists, hand wash with a dedicated wetsuit shampoo and ensure it dries completely in a well-ventilated area.
Inspect the seams for any damage. Small fraying might be manageable with wetsuit seam sealant. For significant fraying, professional repair may be necessary.
