FAQs
How do I clean the dry suit?
Rinse with fresh water after each use. Wash by hand with a mild detergent in lukewarm water. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
What is the warranty on the dry suit?
Warranty information can be found on the Helly Hansen website.
How do I repair a small tear?

How do I store the dry suit?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before storage.
What kind of base layers should I wear?
Use moisture-wicking base layers designed for cold weather conditions. Avoid cotton, which retains moisture.
Can I use this suit for other water sports?
While designed for ocean sailing, it can be used for other activities where waterproof protection is needed. Consider the level of activity and the environment.
How do I care for the latex seals?
Rinse the seals with fresh water after each use. Apply a small amount of silicone grease to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Water Leaks
Check seals (neck and wrist) for damage or improper closure. Ensure zippers are fully closed. Inspect the suit for any punctures or tears. Use the repair kit for minor damage.
Condensation Inside the Suit
Ensure the suit is properly ventilated. Adjust layering to avoid excessive sweating. Make sure the suit isn't too tight, which can restrict airflow.
Difficulty in Movement
Ensure the suit is the correct size. Check layering to avoid bulky clothing. Consider loosening the suit at the wrists and neck if possible, without compromising the seal.
Seals are Uncomfortable
Ensure seals are properly sized for your neck and wrists. Use a thin layer of lubrication (e.g., silicone grease) to aid comfort and seal integrity. Consider wearing a thin balaclava or neck gaiter under the neck seal.
