Product Information
Full details
The Gul Wetsuit Shorties are designed for swimmers and water enthusiasts who require reliable thermal protection without sacrificing mobility. Featuring a streamlined short-sleeve and short-leg configuration, these suits provide core warmth for extended periods in the water. While they offer excellent flexibility for active use, it is important to note that the short-limb design provides less UV and temperature protection for arms and legs compared to full-length wetsuits.

FAQs
Are these wetsuits suitable for winter swimming?
These shorties are designed for milder conditions. They may not provide enough warmth for winter temperatures or icy water.
How should a wetsuit fit?
A wetsuit should fit like a second skin. It should be snug, but not so tight that it restricts your breathing or full range of motion.
Can I use this in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use, as chlorine can degrade neoprene over time.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the manufacturer's size chart based on your child's age or height. Since fit is critical for thermal regulation, ensure it is snug.
Is the material UV resistant?
While the neoprene provides some barrier, the short-sleeve/leg design leaves most of your skin exposed, so always apply sunscreen to uncovered areas.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the suit
Ensure the skin is dry or the zip track is free of sand and salt deposits; gently pull the base of the zip together before sliding.
Water feeling cold inside the suit
Ensure you have selected the correct size; a suit that is too loose will allow excessive cold water flushing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit, always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use in salt or chlorinated water. Allow it to air dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight, which can degrade the neoprene material over time. When storing, place the suit on a wide, plastic hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders. Avoid folding the suit for long periods, as this can create creases that weaken the material.
