FAQs
Are these wetsuits suitable for winter swimming?
No, these are shorty wetsuits designed specifically for warm water conditions.
How do I determine the right size?
The suits are sized by standard UK dress sizes; choose your regular clothing size, keeping in mind the suit should fit snugly.
Can I machine wash this wetsuit?
No, you should only hand wash it with fresh, cool water to maintain the integrity of the neoprene.
Does this suit provide sun protection?
It provides protection to the areas it covers, but exposed arms and legs will still require sunscreen.
Will salt water damage the suit?
Salt water can cause material degradation if left to dry on the suit; always rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after every use.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the suit up
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth and try zipping slowly while holding the base of the zipper straight.
Water feeling cold immediately inside the suit
Check that the fastening system is tight enough; if the suit is too loose, it will not trap a thin layer of water to warm up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, pull the suit on carefully, ensuring the seams are aligned with your joints. Adjust the fastening system for a secure but non-constricting fit. After use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Always hang the garment to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight, which can degrade the material over time. Store the suit flat or on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent permanent creases or material stretching.
