Full details

This shorty wetsuit is designed for new female surfers, swimmers, paddle-boarders, and ocean-goers seeking a balance of performance and value, particularly suited for the UK's temperate waters. Its key benefit lies in combining eco-friendly materials with advanced stretch for comfort and ease of movement, though it may offer less warmth than thicker wetsuits for extreme conditions.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this wetsuit?

This wetsuit is designed for new female participants in water sports like surfing, swimming, and paddleboarding, offering a balance of performance and value for temperate water conditions.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

While it provides warmth, the shorty design and materials are best suited for British summers, late spring, and early autumn dips. For very cold water or extended cold-water exposure, a thicker or full-length wetsuit would be more appropriate.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the Gul sizing chart and measure yourself carefully. The wetsuit should feel snug all over without restricting your breathing or movement. The RevoFit 3D patterning is designed to accommodate a natural body shape.

What does 'NatuR(r) BEYOND' refer to?

NatuR(r) BEYOND is a type of natural rubber used in the wetsuit, chosen for its eco-friendly properties and performance characteristics, such as flexibility and durability.

Can I wear this wetsuit for activities other than surfing?

Yes, its flexibility and comfort make it suitable for a range of water activities including paddleboarding, kayaking, open water swimming, and general beach use in temperate climates.

How often should I wash my wetsuit?

It's recommended to rinse your wetsuit with fresh water after every use. A more thorough wash with mild soap is generally only needed periodically, especially if the suit develops odors or feels significantly dirty.

What is the difference between the upper and lower panel materials?

The upper body uses the highly stretchable X-Flex material for paddling and swimming ease, while the lower body uses D-Flex panels for enhanced durability against abrasion and wear.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing chart. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation. Minor stretching may occur with use.

Water flushing around the neck

Adjust the Pro GlideSkin collar for a snugger fit. Ensure the back zipper is fully closed. Check for any debris caught in the collar seal.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Rinse the zipper with fresh water and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant designed for wetsuits or silicone-based lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Material feels stiff after drying

This can sometimes happen if not rinsed properly or if dried too quickly. Ensure thorough rinsing with fresh water and air dry away from direct heat. Avoid using harsh chemicals during washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cool water to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
  2. Hand Wash: If cleaning is necessary, hand wash gently with a mild soap or wetsuit shampoo. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid using tumble dryers or radiators, as this can damage the neoprene and adhesive.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit loosely folded or hanging on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or in contact with sharp objects.
  5. Avoid Sharp Objects: Be cautious of sharp objects, rocks, or abrasive surfaces that can puncture or tear the material.
