FAQs
Are these wetsuits suitable for winter surfing?
No, these are shorty wetsuits designed for warm-water activities and do not provide the necessary insulation for cold-water conditions.
How do I determine the right size for me?
Refer to the standard UK women's dress sizing. For the best performance, the suit should be a snug, second-skin fit.
Can I wash my wetsuit in a washing machine?
Never use a washing machine or tumble dryer, as these will destroy the neoprene material. Always hand wash in fresh water.
What is the primary material used?
These wetsuits are constructed from high-quality neoprene, selected for its balance of flexibility and heat retention.
How should I store my wetsuit for the off-season?
Clean and dry the suit completely, then store it in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to avoid stretching the shoulders.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels restrictive around the chest
Ensure the zipper is pulled fully up and the neck closure is adjusted properly. If it remains tight, you may need to check your sizing measurements.
Water is flushing in too easily
Check that the fastening system is secured tightly. If the suit is too loose in the torso, consider sizing down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit Shorties, proper maintenance is essential:
- Fitting: Ensure the suit sits snug against the skin without restricting your breathing. If there is significant loose fabric, the water will not heat up correctly.
- Rinsing: After every use, thoroughly rinse the suit inside and out with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
- Drying: Air dry the suit out of direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays can break down the neoprene material over time, leading to cracking or loss of elasticity.
- Storage: Store the suit on a wide, non-metal hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding the suit for long periods to prevent permanent creases in the neoprene.
