FAQs

What is the purpose of the 3/2mm thickness?

The 3mm neoprene provides insulation for the body, while the 2mm under the arms allows for greater flexibility and range of motion.

Can I use this wetsuit for winter swimming?

No, this wetsuit is designed for spring and summer use due to its thickness. It may not provide adequate warmth in colder water.

How do I clean my wetsuit?

Rinse your wetsuit with fresh water after each use. Use a wetsuit-specific shampoo occasionally to remove any lingering odors and contaminants. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is Supratex?

Supratex is a durable, rubberized material used for the knee pads, providing protection and making it easier to kneel on various surfaces.

How should I store my wetsuit?

Store your wetsuit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Use a wide hanger to avoid creasing.

What should I do if my wetsuit gets a tear?

Small tears can be repaired with neoprene glue or a wetsuit repair kit. For larger tears, consult a professional wetsuit repair service.

What activities is this wetsuit suitable for?

This wetsuit is ideal for surfing, wakeboarding, kayaking, paddleboarding, and other water activities in warm to temperate conditions.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the wetsuit size is appropriate. Try using a plastic bag over your feet and hands to ease the process. Make sure the inside is dry.

Water is entering the wetsuit.

Check the fit around the neck, wrists, and ankles. Make sure the zipper is fully closed and the suit is properly sealed. Consider using a neoprene sealant to repair any small leaks.

The wetsuit feels restrictive.

Ensure you have the right size. Check that the arms and legs have enough flexibility. Consider trying a size up if the restriction affects your range of movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a good balance of warmth and flexibility for summer water activities.
  • Flat-locked seams and ergonomic paneling enhance comfort and reduce chafing.
  • Supratex knee pads add durability and make kneeling easier.
  • Wind-resistant mesh paneling offers extra protection.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for colder water conditions.
  • Limited to spring/summer use due to the neoprene thickness.
  • Requires proper care to maintain the neoprene's integrity.
  • The fit might vary slightly depending on individual body shapes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance and longevity of your Osprey Origin Wetsuit, follow these guidelines:

  • Sizing: Refer to the Osprey size chart to find the best fit. A snug fit is important for warmth, but make sure it allows freedom of movement.
  • Putting it on: Step into the wetsuit and carefully pull it up, ensuring the seams align. It might be helpful to have a friend assist with pulling the suit over your shoulders and zipping it up.
  • Rinsing: After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. This prevents the degradation of the neoprene.
  • Drying: Hang the wetsuit inside out on a wide hanger in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can damage the neoprene.
  • Storage: Store the wetsuit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Avoid: Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash the wetsuit. Avoid contact with sharp objects that could tear the neoprene.
