This wetsuit is recommended for water temperatures typically ranging from 14°C to 20°C, usually from late spring to early autumn in the UK.
For optimal insulation and performance, the wetsuit should fit snugly against your skin without restricting breathing or circulation. It should feel like a second skin.
No, a 3/2mm wetsuit is generally not recommended for winter use in the UK. For colder conditions, a 5mm or thicker wetsuit along with accessories like gloves and boots is advised.
After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water, both inside and out. Avoid using detergents or washing machines. Hang it to dry away from direct sunlight.
The '3/2mm' refers to the thickness of the neoprene. The torso and core areas are typically 3mm thick for warmth, while the arms and legs are 2mm thick to allow for greater flexibility and ease of movement.
It is ideal for surfing, open water swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and general watersports in mild to moderate water temperatures.
Alder Wetsuits was founded in Cornwall, UK, and is known for its commitment to quality and durable wetsuits designed for challenging British waters.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should fit snugly like a second skin to be effective, but not so tight that they restrict breathing or circulation. Check the size guide and consider trying a larger size if it feels overly constricting.
Adjust the smooth skin neck seal to ensure it lies flat and seals snugly against your skin. Ensure there are no hairs or obstructions preventing a good seal. If flushing persists, the seal may be compromised, or the suit may not be the correct fit.
Flatlock seams are designed for comfort. Ensure the suit is rinsed thoroughly after use to remove any abrasive salt or sand. If chafing persists, consider wearing a rash vest underneath.
This 3/2mm suit is intended for milder conditions (14°C-20°C). If the water is colder, or you are particularly sensitive to the cold, you will need a thicker wetsuit (e.g., 5/4mm or 7mm) and potentially accessories like gloves and boots.
Rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove salt and sand. You can also use a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of wax to help it glide smoothly.
Setup: The Alder Impact wetsuit features an easy-entry back zip. To put it on, open the zip, slide your legs through the leg openings, and then carefully pull the suit up. Insert your arms into the sleeves and pull the suit fully up your torso. Close the back zip, ensuring the neck seal sits comfortably and smoothly around your neck.
Compatibility: This 3/2mm wetsuit is designed for a variety of watersports including surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and open water swimming. It is most compatible with water temperatures ranging from 14°C to 20°C.
