Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the back closure
Ensure the suit is pulled up completely around the hips and torso before attempting to zip; if it still sticks, check for trapped fabric or sand in the teeth of the zipper.
Fabric appearing stretched or loose
This may occur after extensive use; ensure you are rinsing with fresh water and avoiding heat to help the fibers retain their shape for as long as possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your surf suit, rinse it with fresh, cold water immediately after every use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical residue. Hang the suit to dry in a shaded area, as direct sunlight can degrade the elastic properties of the polyester fibers over time. Avoid tumble drying or using harsh detergents, as these can compromise the material's durability. When selecting your size, refer to standard UK dress sizing, noting that the fabric is designed to fit snugly to minimize drag.
