FAQs
What water temperature is the 3/2mm suit best for?
This thickness is specifically designed for UK summer and autumn water temperatures where standard swimwear would be too cold.
Can I use this for swimming?
Yes, the anatomical fit and flexible shoulder panels make it a suitable choice for general open-water swimming in warmer months.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The suit should feel tight but not restrictive. You should be able to move your arms freely without feeling like the suit is pulling back against you.
Is the zip prone to rusting?
The suit uses a high-quality YKK zip, but you should always rinse it thoroughly with fresh water to prevent salt crystallization.
Does it offer protection against sun exposure?
Yes, the fabric provides 50+ UV protection for the parts of your body covered by the suit.
Troubleshooting
Difficult to zip up
Ensure the internal zip guard is pulled flat and not caught in the teeth of the YKK zipper.
Water flushing into the suit
Check that the glide-skin collar is adjusted snugly and that the back zip is fully pulled to the top of the closure.
Stiff or restricted movement
Ensure the wetsuit is pulled up fully into the crotch area before securing the shoulders, as improper positioning restricts arm movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, and organic debris. Avoid using soap, detergents, or chemical cleaners, as these can break down the neoprene. When drying, never leave the suit in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can degrade the fabric; instead, dry it inside out in a shaded, well-ventilated area. When putting the suit on, be careful not to snag the neoprene with fingernails or jewelry. Store the suit on a wide, wetsuit-specific hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
