FAQs

What is the primary material of this wetsuit?

The wetsuit is primarily made from Neoprene.

How thick is the neoprene material?

The wetsuit has a thickness of 2.5mm.

Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold water?

With a 2.5mm thickness and heat retention features, it's suitable for a range of temperatures. For very cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers might be necessary.

How should I clean the wetsuit?

Rinse with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Can children put this wetsuit on by themselves?

Yes, the pull-on design with an extended zip pull is intended to make it easier for children to put on and take off independently.

Does the wetsuit have pockets?

Yes, it features a small key pocket to hold essential items.

What does 'Contoured Fit' mean?

A contoured fit means the wetsuit is shaped to follow the body's natural lines for a closer, more comfortable fit that enhances flexibility and reduces drag.

Can the colors be guaranteed to match the online pictures?

Please note that colors may appear slightly different in person than on your screen due to variations in monitor settings and lighting.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure you are using the extended zip pull. Try putting it on while your skin is dry. If a size is consistently difficult, consider if the size is appropriate or if a different model might offer an easier fit.

Chafing around the neck or limbs.

Check that the wetsuit is the correct size and fit. Ensure the flat seams are lying flat against the skin. For persistent issues, a thin rash vest underneath can help.

Wetsuit does not feel warm enough.

Ensure the wetsuit fits snugly, as trapped water that heats up is key to insulation. Check that the neck seal is secure and that no large gaps exist. For colder conditions, consider a thicker wetsuit or an undersuit.

Material has an odor.

This is common with neoprene. Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. A specialized wetsuit shampoo can help remove odors if the problem persists.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Rinse the zipper area with fresh water. If it remains stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant designed for wetsuits can be applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a pull-on wetsuit, meaning there is no complex setup required. Simply ensure the size is correct for a snug, comfortable fit before use.

Compatibility: The wetsuit is designed for general water sports and swimming. It is compatible with various activities such as surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and general beach use.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse after use: Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Hand wash only: If washing is needed, use a mild soap or wetsuit shampoo and hand wash gently. Do not machine wash.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can degrade the neoprene and fade colors. Do not tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit loosely folded or, ideally, hanging on a wide, padded hanger to avoid creases and damage to the material. Keep in a cool, dry place.
