FAQs
Are these wetsuits suitable for winter surfing?
No, these are shorty wetsuits designed for warm water and will not provide sufficient insulation for cold-weather surfing.
How should a wetsuit fit?
A wetsuit should fit like a second skin, snug against your body without restricting your breathing or movement.
Can I use this for pool swimming?
Yes, it is excellent for outdoor or open-water swimming where the water is warm but you still want a bit of core warmth.
How do I choose the right size?
Consult the manufacturer's size chart based on your dress size and ensure the chest and waist measurements align with your body type.
Does salt water damage the suit?
Salt water is corrosive to neoprene over time; rinsing with fresh water after every session is essential for longevity.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the suit
Ensure the wetsuit is pulled up fully and aligned correctly against the skin; check for any sand or debris caught in the zipper teeth.
Water flushing or feeling loose
Adjust the fastening system to ensure a tighter fit; check that the size corresponds correctly to your body measurements.
Fabric irritation on skin
Rinse thoroughly to remove salt crystals and ensure the suit is worn directly against clean skin without excess friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gul Wetsuit stays in peak condition, always rinse it with fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove salt and debris. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the neoprene material. When drying, place the suit on a wide plastic hanger away from direct sunlight, which can cause the fabric to fade and become brittle over time. Ensure the suit is completely dry before folding or storing it in a cool, shaded area to prevent mold growth.
