How should I wash the Leknes Suit?
You should machine wash it in lukewarm water at 40°C. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and iron on a low heat setting. Do not dry clean.
What is the insulation rating of the suit?
The suit is rated at 2.5 Clo, indicating a good level of insulation for cold conditions.
Is the suit suitable for very high temperatures?
While the suit is breathable, its primary design is for warmth and protection in cold or wet conditions. For very high temperatures or intense physical activity where overheating is a concern, its suitability may be limited.

Troubleshooting
Suit feels stiff or loses flexibility.
Ensure the suit has not been exposed to harsh chemicals or improper drying. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions precisely. Avoid high heat settings during drying.
Water is leaking through seams.
Verify that the suit's construction is fully taped and that there are no visible damages to the seam seals. If damage is present, professional repair might be needed, or consider a replacement if the damage is significant.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper track with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Hood is not fitting securely over a helmet.
Adjust the hood's drawstrings and the helmet itself for optimal placement. The helmet-compatible design allows space, but proper adjustment is key for comfort and protection.
