FAQs

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the manufacturer's size guide for UK sizing; a snug fit is essential for warmth, but it should not restrict your breathing.

Can I use this wetsuit in non-surfing sports?

Yes, the super-stretch material makes it suitable for various water sports including bodyboarding and cold-water swimming.

How often should I wash the wetsuit with soap?

Only use specialized wetsuit shampoo if the suit develops an odor. Otherwise, simple fresh water rinsing is sufficient.

What does 5/4 mean?

It refers to the neoprene thickness: 5mm in the torso for maximum warmth and 4mm in the limbs for increased flexibility.

Is the hood removable?

No, this model features an integrated hood designed for seamless warmth and water protection.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty pulling the wetsuit over shoulders during entry

Ensure the chest zip is fully opened and use a plastic bag over your foot to glide the leg through, reducing friction and tension on the neoprene.

Water flushing through the neck area

Adjust the hood tension and ensure the inner chest flap is lying flat against your chest before securing the outer zip.

Neoprene feeling stiff or dry

The suit may have salt build-up; soak it in a basin of cool fresh water for 30 minutes to rehydrate the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth retention for cold water conditions
  • Excellent range of motion due to super stretch materials
  • Eco-conscious manufacturing processes
  • Fast-drying interior lining reduces gear downtime

Cons

  • Hooded design can feel restrictive to some users
  • Requires proper maintenance to preserve neoprene integrity
  • Chest zip entry can be more challenging to put on than back zips

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your wetsuit, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every session to remove salt and debris. Avoid hanging the suit in direct sunlight, as UV rays can break down the neoprene and cause it to become stiff. When drying, fold the suit over a wide hanger at the waist rather than hanging it by the shoulders to prevent stretching. Store the suit in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before packing it away for extended periods.
