FAQs
Can this wetsuit be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the neoprene and the integrity of the seams. Hand wash only with fresh water.
Does this suit provide sun protection?
While the fabric covers the core, it is not a substitute for sunscreen on exposed arms, legs, and skin.
How should a wetsuit fit?
It should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting breathing or movement. There should be no large gaps where water can pool.
Is this suitable for a pool?
Yes, it is excellent for swimming pools, though ensure you rinse the chlorine out immediately after use to protect the fabric.
What is the best way to store the suit?
Store it flat or on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it tightly for long periods to prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove salt crystals or sand and apply a specialized wax lubricant if necessary.
Suit feels cold quickly
Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size. A loose fit allows cold water to flush through the suit, reducing its thermal performance.
Material shows white residue
This is likely dried salt. Rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh water and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gul Wetsuit Shorties remain in top condition, always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use in salt or chlorinated water. Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage the neoprene material. To dry, hang the wetsuit on a wide plastic hanger away from direct sunlight, which can cause the material to become brittle or fade over time. When dressing your child, ensure the zipper is fully closed to seal in the warmth and prevent sand from entering the track.
