The Alder Impact Womens 3/2mm Wetsuit is designed for female watersports enthusiasts seeking an affordable yet high-performance suit for activities like surfing, open water swimming, and paddleboarding. Its key benefit is providing a balance of warmth, flexibility, and comfort. A potential caveat is that a 3/2mm thickness is best suited for UK water temperatures between 14°C and 20°C and may not be sufficient for colder conditions. This versatile wetsuit features Floflex neoprene for unrestricted movement in the arms and shoulders, Glideflex neoprene in the body for core warmth, an easy-entry back zip, flatlock seams to prevent chafing, and a smooth skin neck seal to minimize water entry.

The '3/2mm' refers to the thickness of the neoprene. It means the suit has 3mm thick neoprene in the torso for core warmth and 2mm thick neoprene in the arms and legs for flexibility.
The Alder Impact 3/2mm wetsuit is generally recommended for water temperatures between 14°C and 20°C, typically suitable for UK waters from late spring through early autumn.
Refer to the Alder size chart and take accurate measurements of your chest, waist, hips, and inseam. A wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting breathing.
No, machine washing is not recommended. Always rinse your wetsuit with fresh, cold water after each use and hand wash only if necessary with a specialized wetsuit cleaner.
Never use a tumble dryer or direct heat. Hang the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger away from direct sunlight or lay it flat to dry in a well-ventilated area.
While it offers warmth and protection, this 3/2mm wetsuit is primarily designed for surface watersports. For scuba diving, thicker, more specialized suits are typically required.
Floflex neoprene is used in the arms and shoulders for maximum stretch and flexibility, while Glideflex neoprene is used in the body for added warmth, durability, and protection.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by carefully measuring yourself against the size chart. A proper fit is essential for both comfort and insulation.
Check that the smooth skin neck seal is sitting correctly against your skin. Ensure the back zip is fully closed. If the issue persists, consider a wetsuit lubricant or a neck seal accessory.
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly after each use. Ensure the flatlock seams are not turned inwards. Consider wearing a rash vest underneath for added protection.
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water after every use. If the odor persists, use a specialized wetsuit shampoo and allow it to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
Setup: The Alder Impact wetsuit is designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size by consulting a size chart and measuring carefully, as a proper fit is crucial for insulation. Put the wetsuit on by first stepping into the leg sections and pulling it up, then feeding your arms through the sleeves. Use the back zip, pulling the cord to close it at the neck.
Compatibility: This 3/2mm wetsuit is compatible with a wide range of watersports including surfing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, coasteering, and open water swimming in temperate conditions. It is not recommended for diving where more specialized suits are required.
