Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sizing: Refer to the size guide to ensure a snug fit, allowing for a thin layer of water between your skin and the suit for insulation. If between sizes, consider the larger size for comfort.
  2. Entry: Carefully step into the wetsuit and pull it up, ensuring the legs and arms are correctly positioned. Close the chest zip, making sure it seals properly.
  3. Rinsing: After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and other contaminants.
  4. Drying: Hang the wetsuit inside out in a shaded area, avoiding direct sunlight and heat. This prevents the neoprene from degrading.
  5. Storage: Store the wetsuit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding it for extended periods to prevent creasing.
  6. Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for use in cold water environments. Pair it with appropriate accessories like neoprene gloves, boots, and a hood for optimal warmth.
