FAQs

What does 5/4 mean?

It refers to the neoprene thickness, with 5mm used in the torso for maximum warmth and 4mm used in the extremities for better mobility.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is integrated into the suit design for maximum thermal protection.

Can I use this in a swimming pool?

While it can be used, chlorine will break down the neoprene faster than saltwater. Always rinse with fresh water immediately after pool use.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the manufacturer's size chart based on your height and weight, as wetsuit fit should be snug but not restrictive to breathing.

How should I store my wetsuit?

Store it on a wide, sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty putting on the suit

Ensure your skin is dry before entering and use a 'plastic bag' trick on your feet to help them slide through the leg openings more easily.

Water entering through the chest zip

Ensure the chest flap is pulled firmly across and the zipper is fully closed and locked. Check the internal gasket seal for any hair or debris.

Stiff zipper movement

Rinse the zipper area thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt crystals. Applying a specialized zipper wax or lubricant can also improve function.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality limestone neoprene offers superior flexibility
  • Thermal lining provides excellent warmth in cold water
  • Eco-friendly Dope Dyed fabric resists fading
  • Water-based glue construction is better for the environment

Cons

  • The integrated hood may feel restrictive for some users
  • 5/4mm thickness can be too warm for mild water temperatures
  • Chest zip entry requires practice for easy entry and exit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your suit lasts, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every surf to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Hang the wetsuit to dry in the shade, as direct sunlight can degrade the neoprene and cause the material to become brittle. Never wring out your suit; instead, drape it over a thick, wide hanger at the waist to prevent stretching the shoulder material. When storing, avoid folding the suit for long periods, as this can cause permanent creases in the neoprene.
