FAQs
What temperature range is this wetsuit suitable for?
This thermal wetsuit is designed for colder conditions, generally suitable for water temperatures ranging from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F), depending on individual cold tolerance and activity level.
How do I find the right size?
The wetsuit is available in UK women's sizes. We recommend referring to a size chart and trying the wetsuit on for a snug fit that allows comfortable movement. For this specific item, it is a UK size 12.
Can this wetsuit be used for swimming?
While designed for water sports, it can be used for swimming in cold water. However, its primary purpose is thermal protection and durability for activities like surfing or kayaking, rather than competitive swimming where flexibility is paramount.
How often should I wash my wetsuit?
It's best to rinse your wetsuit with fresh water after every use. A deeper wash with a mild detergent is recommended every few uses or if the suit develops an odor.
What is the warranty period for this wetsuit?
Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy for details on coverage and duration. Typically, wetsuits have a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
Will this wetsuit protect me from the sun?
The full-length design offers significant coverage, which provides a degree of sun protection. However, it is not specifically rated for UPF protection and sunscreen is still recommended for exposed areas.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight and restricts breathing.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try a larger size if necessary. For a snug fit, focus on proper donning technique without forcing it.
Water seeping in at the seams or zipper.
Check that the zipper is fully closed and the flap behind it is correctly positioned. Ensure the fit is snug to minimize water entry. For persistent leaks, consider wetsuit repair tape or professional repair.
Reduced thermal performance over time.
Ensure the wetsuit is being cared for properly by rinsing after each use and washing periodically. Damaged neoprene or worn seals can reduce insulation. Inspect for any tears or thinning material.
Difficulty putting on or taking off.
Use a wetsuit lubricant or ensure the suit is completely dry when putting it on. When taking it off, try peeling it down from the shoulders and legs. Avoid pulling too hard on the seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size. For the UK 12, a snug fit is recommended – it should feel tight but not restrict breathing or circulation. Roll it on carefully to avoid snagging nails.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard water sports equipment including surfboards, kayaks, paddleboards, and diving gear. It is designed for use in saltwater and freshwater environments.
Care:
- Rinse: Always rinse thoroughly with fresh, cool water immediately after use, both inside and out, to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
- Wash: Hand wash occasionally with a mild, neoprene-safe detergent. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Dry: Drip dry out of direct sunlight. Avoid tumble drying or using direct heat sources, as this can damage the neoprene.
- Storage: Store flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it for long periods, which can create permanent creases.
