The Alder Impact Women's 3/2mm Wetsuit is designed for watersports enthusiasts seeking warmth, flexibility, and comfort in UK waters during warmer months. Its key benefit is the combination of flexible neoprene for movement and durable neoprene for insulation, with features like a smooth skin neck seal to minimize water entry. A caveat is that this 3/2mm thickness is not recommended for cold winter conditions. This wetsuit offers a balance of performance and comfort for activities such as surfing, swimming, and paddleboarding, featuring easy entry and anti-chafing seams.

This wetsuit is ideal for water temperatures ranging from approximately 14°C to 20°C (57°F to 68°F), which is typical for UK waters from late spring to early autumn.
No, this 3/2mm wetsuit is not recommended for winter use in the UK. Thicker wetsuits (e.g., 5mm or 7mm) are advised for colder conditions.
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water after each use. If a deeper clean is needed, use a mild, non-detergent soap and hand wash gently. Never machine wash or dry clean.
Floflex neoprene is used on the arms and shoulders for maximum flexibility and unrestricted movement, while Glideflex neoprene is used on the body for durability and warmth.
Hang the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger out of direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry inside and out before storing. Avoid using tumble dryers or direct heat sources.
It refers to the thickness of the neoprene. The torso and main body panels are 3mm thick for warmth, while the arms and legs are 2mm thick for enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement.
While it offers warmth and flexibility, this wetsuit is primarily designed for surface watersports like surfing, swimming, and paddleboarding. For diving, suits with specific features and often greater thickness are typically recommended.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. A snug fit is essential, but it should not excessively restrict breathing or circulation. Try a larger size if discomfort persists.
Adjust the neck seal for a tighter fit. Ensure no hair or debris is caught in the seal. If the seal is damaged, it may need repair or replacement.
Ensure the wetsuit is rinsed thoroughly after each use to remove salt and sand. The flatlock seams are designed to minimize chafing; ensure the suit is the correct fit and not bunching in areas.
Avoid drying in direct sunlight and do not store in extreme heat. Ensure the suit is properly rinsed after saltwater exposure. Stiffness can indicate degradation of the neoprene; proper care is crucial.
Setup: The Alder Impact wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, performance fit. The easy-entry back zip allows for simple donning; pull the zip cord to open and close.
Compatibility: This 3/2mm wetsuit is specifically suited for watersports such as surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and open-water swimming in temperate conditions (14°C-20°C). It is compatible with standard wetsuit accessories like boots, gloves, and hoods for added warmth in cooler conditions.
