Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the wetsuit
Use a plastic bag over your feet and hands to help them slide through the arm and leg openings more easily.
Excessive water entering through the neck
Ensure the chest zip flap is properly tucked and smoothed flat against the internal neoprene seal before locking the zipper.
Material stiffness or drying slowly
Ensure you are hanging the suit by the waist or using a specialized wide-shoulder hanger to improve airflow and prevent material stress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit, avoid stretching the neck opening excessively when putting the suit on; stepping into the leg openings first is the recommended method. After each use, rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove salt and debris. Hang the suit to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight as UV rays can degrade the neoprene over time. Store the suit on a thick plastic wetsuit hanger to prevent shoulder creasing and never fold it while damp for extended periods. When checking compatibility, ensure the fit is snug across the chest and shoulders to prevent water pockets, which can lead to chafing or cold spots.
