FAQs
Can I use these wetsuits in a swimming pool?
Yes, they are suitable for pools, but be sure to rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh water afterward to remove chlorine, which can degrade neoprene.
Is this suit suitable for cold water?
No, this is a shortie designed for warm-to-temperate water. It lacks the coverage and thickness required for cold-water environments.
How should I clean the wetsuit?
Hand wash in cool, fresh water using a mild wetsuit-specific shampoo if necessary. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the best way to dry the suit?
Hang it inside out in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and sources of high heat like radiators.
Are these unisex?
The Gul Wetsuit Shorties are available in various styles and fits, including specific models for men, designed to provide a tailored, ergonomic fit.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the back
Ensure the suit is pulled up fully and snugly around the hips before zipping, or use the attached pull cord to gain better leverage.
Material feels stiff after storage
Soak the suit in cool, fresh water for 15 minutes to allow the fibers to relax and remove salt crystals.
Chafing during use
Ensure the suit is pulled taut against the skin; using a non-petroleum based anti-chafe balm on sensitive areas can provide extra protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit Shorties, always rinse the suit with fresh, cool water immediately after every use, especially after saltwater or chlorine exposure. Avoid hanging the suit in direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene material over time. When drying, use a wide plastic hanger and store in a cool, shaded, and well-ventilated area. When putting the suit on, ensure you do not use fingernails to pull on the fabric, as this can cause nicks or tears in the neoprene.
