Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on
Ensure the wetsuit is completely dry. Use a plastic bag over your feet and hands to help them slide through the neoprene. Lay the suit flat and pull up gradually, smoothing out wrinkles as you go.
Chafing or irritation
Check for wrinkles or bunching in the neoprene, especially around the neck, underarms, and groin. Ensure you have the correct size; a slightly looser fit in some areas can cause this. Consider using a lubricant like Body Glide or applying a thin layer of petroleum jelly to sensitive areas.
Reduced flexibility or stiffness
This can occur if the wetsuit is not properly rinsed and dried, or if it's exposed to heat. Ensure it is thoroughly rinsed with fresh water and dried out of direct sunlight. If the neoprene feels permanently stiff, it may be degraded.
Zipper is stuck or difficult to move
Rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove salt or sand. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or paraffin wax to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.
