Full details
The Animal 'Isla' Short Sleeve Surf Suit is designed for women seeking comfortable and stylish coverage while engaging in water sports. Its stretchy, lightweight polyester and elastane blend offers freedom of movement, and it provides an excellent alternative to bikinis or full wetsuits for activities like surfing.

FAQs
Is this suit suitable for cold water surfing?

How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the manufacturer. The product information indicates this is a UK size 10.
Can I wear this as a regular swimsuit?
Yes, while designed for surf activities, it can certainly be worn as a regular swimsuit for swimming or lounging at the beach, offering more coverage than a bikini.
How does the back zip work?
The back zip is designed for easy entry and exit. It typically has a long pull cord to make it easier to reach and operate yourself.
Will this suit protect me from the sun?
The suit provides physical coverage which offers some protection from the sun. However, for prolonged sun exposure, it is recommended to use sunscreen on any exposed skin.
How does Animal's pricing work?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Rinse the zipper area with fresh water. Ensure no sand or debris is caught in it. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Suit feels stretched out after use
Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly with fresh water after each use and drying correctly. Avoid excessive heat or machine drying, which can degrade the elastane.
Skin irritation from seams or fabric
Ensure the suit is properly rinsed and dry before storing. If irritation persists, consider wearing a rash vest underneath for added comfort.
