Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Donning: Unzip the back zip fully. Step into the wetsuit, pulling it up over your feet and legs. Carefully slide your arms into the sleeves, ensuring the material lies flat against your skin without twisting.
- Zipping: Reach back and grasp the cord attached to the zipper. Pull it upwards smoothly to close the back zip. Ensure the velcro flap at the neck is secured.
Compatibility:
This wetsuit is designed for water sports such as surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and other board sports where flexibility and thermal protection are required in moderate water temperatures (typically 15-20°C or 59-68°F).
Care:
- Rinsing: Always rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use. This removes salt, sand, and chlorine, which can degrade the materials over time.
- Washing: Hand wash only in cool, fresh water with a mild, specialized wetsuit shampoo if necessary. Do not use detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Hang your wetsuit to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Avoid wringing or stretching the material. A thick plastic hanger is recommended to maintain the shoulder shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the wetsuit for extended periods, as this can cause permanent damage.
