Product Information
Full details
The Gul Wetsuit Shorties are designed for water sports enthusiasts seeking comfort and protection during warm-water activities. These suits provide excellent core thermal retention while maintaining full limb mobility through their short-arm and leg design. While they are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding in mild conditions, it is important to note that they do not offer the full-body thermal insulation required for cold-water environments.

FAQs
Are these wetsuits suitable for winter swimming?
No, these shorties are intended for warm-water activities and do not provide sufficient insulation for cold-water swimming.
How do I determine my size?
Use your standard dress size as a guide, ensuring the suit fits snugly without restricting your range of motion.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit, as this will damage the neoprene material and the fastening system.
Will this protect me from jellyfish stings?
While the fabric provides a barrier, it is not sting-proof. Use caution in areas known for dangerous marine life.
How often should I rinse the suit?
You should rinse the suit with fresh water after every single use to prevent salt crystal accumulation.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the back
Ensure the suit is pulled up high on the hips and torso before attempting to zip. If the zip continues to stick, apply a small amount of zipper wax.
Feeling cold during use
Ensure the fit is tight against your skin. If water is flushing through the suit, the size may be too large, preventing the material from warming the thin layer of trapped water.
Material stiffness
Soak the suit in cool water with a dedicated wetsuit cleaner to break down salt deposits and soften the neoprene fibres.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Wetsuit, always rinse it with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt and chlorine. Allow the suit to air dry completely in a shaded area, avoiding direct sunlight, which can degrade the neoprene material over time. When putting on the suit, avoid using sharp fingernails to pull on the fabric to prevent punctures. For storage, use a wide plastic hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders. Always ensure your wetsuit is completely dry before folding it for long-term storage to prevent mold or odors.
