FAQs

What is the main difference between the 3mm and 2mm neoprene panels?

The 3mm neoprene is thicker and provides more insulation for core warmth (chest and back), while the 2mm neoprene is thinner and more flexible, allowing for greater freedom of movement in the arms and legs.

Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water?

The 3/2mm thickness is best suited for temperate water conditions. For colder water, consider a thicker wetsuit (e.g., 4/3mm or 5/4mm) or additional accessories like a hood and thicker booties.

How do I know if the wetsuit fits correctly?

A well-fitting wetsuit should feel snug all over without restricting breathing or circulation. There should be no excess bagginess, particularly around the torso, crotch, and armpits.

Can I wash my wetsuit in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to wash your wetsuit in a washing machine as it can damage the material and seams. Always hand wash with cool, fresh water.

What is the purpose of the back zipper?

The back zipper is designed for easy entry and exit from the wetsuit, making it quicker and more convenient to get dressed and undressed.

What materials is this wetsuit made of?

The wetsuit is primarily made of 90% neoprene and 10% nylon.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit is difficult to put on.

Ensure the inside is completely dry. Standing in a plastic bag can help your feet slide through the leg openings more easily.

Zipper is stiff or snagging.

Rinse the zipper thoroughly with fresh water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zipper teeth.

Water seeping in at seams or zipper.

Ensure the wetsuit is the correct size and fits snugly. Check that the back zip flap is correctly positioned.

Material smells musty.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Consider a specialized wetsuit cleaner if the odor persists.
