The Alder Impact Shorty Wetsuit is designed for surfers, swimmers, and paddleboarders who need a balance of mobility and warmth during warmer water conditions. It serves as an excellent choice for summer surf sessions or general beach watersports, providing essential protection against the elements. However, as a shorty-style suit, it is specifically intended for temperate climates rather than cold-water activities where full-body coverage is required.

No, this is a shorty wetsuit designed for summer and warmer water temperatures. It does not provide the insulation needed for winter conditions.
Yes, its lightweight and flexible design makes it a great option for open-water swimming in warmer temperatures.
Rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after every use. Never use harsh detergents or a washing machine.
The neoprene provides a physical barrier against UV rays, but you should still apply sunscreen to exposed skin like your lower legs and arms.
The suit should feel snug but not restrictive. You should be able to move your arms freely without feeling like the suit is pulling on your shoulders.
Ensure the neck seal is positioned flat against the skin without hair or clothing caught underneath.
Use a plastic bag over your hands and feet to help them slide through the arm and leg openings more easily.
Check that all internal seams are flat; consider applying a small amount of anti-chafing balm to high-friction areas.
To ensure your wetsuit lasts, always rinse it with fresh, cool water after every use to remove salt and debris. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene. When drying, keep the suit in a shaded, well-ventilated area and always hang it on a wide, plastic wetsuit hanger to prevent shoulder stretching. When putting the suit on, be careful not to puncture the material with fingernails. Ensure your skin is free of oils or heavy lotions, as these can chemically affect the neoprene over time. Store the suit flat or on a hanger; avoid folding it tightly for long-term storage.
