Full details
The Animal Isabella Surf Suit is designed for water sports enthusiasts who prioritize both protection and freedom of movement. It serves as an ideal hybrid between a traditional wetsuit and a bikini, offering essential coverage for surfing, swimming, or snorkeling. While it is incredibly lightweight and stretchy, users should note that it is not insulated, meaning it is better suited for warm-water activities rather than cold-weather surfing.

FAQs
Is this a wetsuit?
No, it is a surf suit. It provides UV coverage and protection from the elements but does not offer thermal insulation like a neoprene wetsuit.
Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, the suit is resistant to chlorine, making it suitable for both pool training and ocean activities.
How should I choose the right size?
This model is designed to fit snugly. Refer to standard UK dress sizing, but keep in mind that the material is stretchy for a form-fitting feel.
Does it provide sun protection?
Yes, the full-coverage design provides a physical barrier against UV rays while you are in the water.
How do I dry the suit efficiently?
Hang the suit in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry or use a radiator, as heat will damage the elastic properties of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the back
Ensure the internal flap is flat against your skin and not caught in the zipper teeth; if it sticks, apply a small amount of paraffin wax to the zipper track.
Fabric appearing stretched after intensive use
Wash the suit in cold water and allow it to air dry fully, which helps the fibers regain their natural elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your suit lasts, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after every use in salt or chlorinated water to remove mineral deposits. Hang the suit to dry in a shaded area, avoiding direct sunlight, which can degrade the polyester fibers over time. When storing, avoid folding it tightly to prevent deep creases; hanging it on a wide-shoulder hanger is best. Because this suit is made of high-stretch polyester, avoid contact with rough surfaces like rocky shorelines to prevent snags or pilling.
