It features a contoured, multi-thickness design for maximum comfort and flexibility, though it is specifically engineered for leisure use rather than professional long-distance swimming, triathlons, or deep-sea diving.

FAQs

Can I use this wetsuit for triathlons?

No, this suit is designed for leisure swimming and beach activities; it does not provide the buoyancy or technical specifications required for triathlons.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold winter water?

No, the Shorty Wetsuit is intended for summer and warmer water temperatures. It does not provide the thermal insulation required for cold winter conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

The suit should have a 'second skin' fit. Refer to the standard UK sizing guide to find your match, ensuring it is tight but comfortable enough to allow for full range of motion.

How should I store the wetsuit long-term?

Rinse it clean, ensure it is completely dry, and store it flat or on a wide hanger in a cool, dark place. Avoid folding it tightly for long periods as this can create permanent creases in the neoprene.

What is covered under the 2-year warranty?

The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal, intended use of the product.

Troubleshooting

The zipper feels stuck or difficult to pull.

Check for salt crystallization or sand inside the zipper track; rinse thoroughly with fresh water and gently clear debris.

Feeling skin irritation or chafing during use.

Ensure a proper fit and wear a thin rash vest underneath to create a smooth barrier between your skin and the wetsuit seams.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent flexibility for surfing and bodyboarding
  • Easy-to-use extended zip pull design
  • Quick-drying material for convenience
  • Provides essential UV protection at the beach
  • Includes a 2-year warranty for durability assurance

Cons

  • Not suitable for endurance swimming or triathlons
  • May require a rash vest underneath to prevent chafing
  • Limited to shallow water or leisure use only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best performance from your Mountain Warehouse wetsuit, ensure you have the correct fit; it should feel snug like a second skin without restricting your breathing or blood circulation. To put it on, step in carefully to avoid snagging the neoprene with fingernails.

After every use, rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Hang the suit to dry inside-out on a wide, non-metallic hanger away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene over time. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in the season.
