The Alder Impact 3/2mm Wetsuit is designed for watersports enthusiasts seeking an affordable, comfortable, and flexible option for surfing, swimming, and paddleboarding. Its key benefit lies in balancing warmth and unrestricted movement, making it suitable for UK water temperatures. A minor caveat is that its 3/2mm thickness is best suited for warmer months, with thicker options recommended for colder conditions. This wetsuit features Floflex neoprene in the arms for flexibility, Glideflex neoprene in the body for warmth, an easy-entry back zip, flatlock seams, and a smooth skin neck seal.

A 3/2mm wetsuit is generally recommended for water temperatures ranging from 14°C to 20°C (57°F to 68°F), typically suitable for late spring, summer, and early autumn in the UK.
Step into the wetsuit and pull it up gradually, ensuring the material is smooth and not bunched. Pay special attention to getting the arms and legs in correctly, then close the back zip using the pull cord.
While it provides some insulation, a 3/2mm wetsuit is generally not recommended for scuba diving, especially in deeper or colder water. Dedicated dive suits offer better thermal protection and durability for diving.
It is best practice to rinse your wetsuit with cold, fresh water immediately after every use to prolong its lifespan and maintain its properties.
Floflex neoprene is used in the arms and shoulders to maximize flexibility and freedom of movement, while Glideflex neoprene is used in the body for enhanced warmth and protection.
Yes, the Alder Impact 3/2mm wetsuit is designed with comfort and ease of use in mind, making it an excellent choice for beginners in watersports.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should be snug but allow for comfortable breathing. Consult the sizing chart. If already on, try to readjust the fit.
Check that all seals (neck, wrists, ankles) are snug against the skin. Ensure the back zip is fully closed and the flap underneath is correctly positioned. A proper fit is crucial to prevent flushing.
Neoprene can become stiff over time if not cared for properly. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly after each use and drying away from direct heat. Consider a wetsuit shampoo for cleaning.
Inspect the seams for any damage. Minor fraying can sometimes be repaired, but significant separation may require professional repair or replacement.
Setup: This is a full-body wetsuit designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug fit; it should feel tight but not restrict breathing. Once on, adjust the neck seal for comfort.
Compatibility: The Alder Impact 3/2mm wetsuit is compatible with a wide range of watersports, including surfing, bodyboarding, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, coasteering, and general watersports. It is suitable for UK water temperatures from late spring through early autumn.
