How do I wash the Leknes Suit?
Machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.
What does 'fully taped construction' mean?

What material is the suit made from?

Troubleshooting
Suit feels damp on the inside.
This can occur if the outer material is heavily soiled, impeding breathability. Clean the suit according to care instructions. Ensure all zippers are fully closed during use.
Water seems to be leaking through seams.
Verify that the suit's fully taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, professional repair might be needed. Ensure zippers are properly closed.
Hood is not fitting correctly over a helmet.
Adjust the hood using its drawstrings and ensure the helmet is worn correctly underneath. The helmet compatibility is designed for standard-fit safety helmets.
Suit feels too warm for the conditions.
The Leknes Suit is designed for cold weather. For milder conditions, consider wearing fewer layers underneath or unzipping for ventilation if possible, though this may compromise full protection.
