FAQs
Can I use this wetsuit in a swimming pool?
Yes, but be aware that harsh pool chemicals like chlorine can break down neoprene faster than saltwater, so ensure you rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use.
How should I store my wetsuit?
Store it on a wide, plastic hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid wire hangers, as they can stretch the shoulder material.
Is this suit suitable for winter surfing?
The Gul Full Steamer is designed for thermal protection, but suitability depends on local water temperatures; consider pairing with booties or gloves for extreme conditions.
How tight should the suit feel?
A wetsuit should be snug but not restrictive. If it's too loose, water will circulate too freely, and you will lose your body heat.
Can I machine wash the wetsuit?
No, never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit, as this will permanently damage the neoprene and the seam glue.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the wetsuit
Ensure your skin is dry or use a plastic bag over your feet/hands to help slide the limbs through the suit easily.
Water flushing through the suit
Check that the zippers are fully closed and the fit is tight against your skin; if water persists, the suit may be too large for your frame.
Stiff or crunchy feeling material
This is likely salt build-up; soak the suit in fresh water for 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your wetsuit, always rinse it with fresh, cool water after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Hang it to dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene material over time. When putting on the suit, avoid using your fingernails to pull at the material; instead, use the pads of your fingers to prevent punctures. Store the suit flat or on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape.
